Carl and I drove out to San Antonio to stay and visit Peter and Julie. Peter and Julie our part of our big family

of A Course In Miracles. We are all one Son ship.

We started our trip with stopping off to visit friends of ours Alvin and Norma in Montgomery Al.

Alvin use to come to Atlanta to teach leather works at Tandy's Leathers. He taught us how to

do leather carving. We sat and chatted and had dinner. It was a beautiful 3 hour visit.

Alvin showed us his work room and some of his new purses and belts he has made.

Alvin is a Vet from Vietnam, he was injured and was left with drop foot. He show us the brace

the VA is providing him and it cost $2000 dollars.

It's back on the road route 65 west. We stopped in Ocean Spring Mississippi at a rest stop, slept for a couple of

hours and Carl was ready to go again.

I never realized that their are so many Casino's along the way starting in gulf of Mississippi. Then it hit

me the smell of the ocean wow. We arrived in San Antonio middle of the afternoon.

We were so happy to see Peter and Julie. It's been since August at Be the Love since we seen them.

Julie has just purchased a townhouse and it is a beautiful place.

Friday Julie and Peter are off work so we begun the day having breakfast then the guys went shipping for the

fixings for Mexican Posole stew. Julie has invited 10 of her friends over and Carl is going to show Peter how to

make the stew. Julie and I will run to the store and purchase a new cart table so we have enough seating with the

dinning room table. The guys got the soup going with all the dry chilies, pork shoulder, pigs feet, knuckles.

Julie has not had good Posole stew since she was in Mexico, and Carl has made before so he has enlightened

Peter on the recipe. Plus the hot sauce that goes along with it. WOW! We have to have a salad so lets have

cactus salad. Julie suggest for dessert fruit. Great menu.

Time for the party to start, meet all of the guest have good laughs and conversation. Oh! what a great choice

for dinner, wonderful. Carl has mad more that enough soup. So, Peter divided the rest in half and froze and

we will take it back to Atlanta.

Saturday we are all ging to see Gary Renard who wrote Disappearance of the Universe. Disappearance of the

Universe is a easy read of A Course In Miracles. Gary's message was to turn your day over to Holy Spirit,

listen, follow the voice.

Sunday, made breakfast at home got ready and went to a Course meeting. Seen all the same people

that were at the event yesterday. Went for lunch at one of the oldest restaurants in San Antonio. Took the

riverboat ride down the river walk. Then Carl wanted to see the Alamo. We were disappointed that their

was just a few walls. That was enough walking for me for the day.

Monday we rest because we want the hurricane Ida to pass so we are not driving in the rain and wind.

I

Looks like the storm now has down graded so we can leave towards home Tuesday.

We got up Tuesday morning and said our good bye to Julie before she went off to work. Peter works from

home. Around 9AM we started out on our journey back to Atlanta.

We got to New Orleans around 8PM and we stopped for a coffee o'la and a Beignuts.

You can't go threw New Orleans not having the famous doughnuts Beignut. I can't find them in Atlanta

anymore.

I drove about an hour each way. I get tired fast. I use to drive from Cleveland Ohio to Atlanta Georgia all by

myself. Those were the days, I owe my gratitude to Carl's kindness to do all the driving.

That is the adventures of San Antonio.
