Grandma's Gone Wild....Part Three

February 17

Today we set out to do a little shopping on main street.
Didn't buy as much as you would of thought, saw some cute things but nothing we all really needed to have.
Sometimes window shopping is the best.
 We did do some wine tasting at few places that sold wine....so fun...
and of course we had to buy some more.

We went to The Fredricksberg Winery
and tasted their wines....they had a wine that is their Christmas wine...
has a wassel taste to it and oh my....
So good!
I had to buy several bottles of it...you also drink it warm like wassel...

 In between shopping and wine tasting we stopped at Silver Creek for a little music and a small bite to eat...as you can see it was a most beautiful day.

When done we got back to the house and unloaded the new wine to go with the wines we had already bought and decided we were gonna get dressed and head out to Gruene Hall.
 We set out for Gruene by taking the long route during 5 o'clock traffic...always need some adventure
and a Grandma's trip.

We had dinner first at the Gristmill.
 Then went into the Oldest Dance hall in Texas.
This place brought back a lot of memories as it use to be one of my old stompin' grounds back in the late 70's early 80's.

Listend to a lot of Clay Blaker and The Texas Honky Tonk Band and The Ace In The Hole Band...
which later would become 
George Strait
and The Ace In The Hole Band.

Both great country music!
We listened to a little music and then decided to head back to Fredricksberg.

We got a map and took a different route back...hoping to be a faster route...I'm still not sure if it was faster but it was a interesting drive at that...
dark roads...no lights...roller coaster roads....
sharp turns....nothing in site...screams...oh shits and pig-coons...
Grandma's had their adventure.

Back at the house we gathered in the living room as we did every night...talked...planned our next day..checked facebook and email and then hit the sack.

This would be our last night....in the morning we head home but with stops along the way.
Good-night Grandma's.

Spending time with the girls is the better than buying anything. Memories are what lasts, not things. Looks like y'all had an exciting day. One question, how did y'all bring back all that wine without breaking one bottle? Texas must have smoother roads than Louisiana. ha ha
