I didn't see any photos from that link, but perhaps that's because I'm not a photobucket member.

My father was thrilled about the rain in Texas, and while it may have been a damper on Sharon and Clive, it was a godsend for my parents. I can't believe that people drove all the way from Garland for this get-together!! That's amost 300 miles! But then maybe they needed a San Antonio vacation. I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures.

Brenda I also can't see the photos. Your link takes us to the home page of Photobucket. Please redo the link so it leads to your album.

We're looking forward to seeing your photos! :-)

It was a great get together, and was my first. I loved getting to meet Brenda, May, and Sharon, as well as their beautiful families. Thank you, Brenda, for organizing this get together. Jerry, my DH, took lots of pictures with his new camera, which he's still trying to learn about, but hopefully he'll get them downloaded this morning, and I'll be able to post pics tonight. We didn't get home until midnight last night, as we really took our time going home.

Sharon and Clive are such charming people, and easy to visit with. It was so much fun to hear the stories about their adventures on their trip across the U.S.. Brenda is a sweetheart and so thoughtful. She brought us all a bagful of goodies, with herbs and spices, a bottle of Cajeta Quemada Milk Caramel Spread, and a bottle of SaLimon Powder, a lemon powder for use on fruits and veggies, or whatever our imaginations tell us to use it on. I can't wait to try them. I'm especially eager to try the Milk Caramel Spread. Our visit with May was way too short, but she is such so nice, and her family is beautiful.

The River Walk was beautiful, lively, noisy and fun. Breakfast at Mi Tierra's was again, lots of fun, but as Brenda said, you have to be very specific about what you order. Hunting through the Mercado with Brenda for her Vanilla was fun, too, although my eye kept getting caught by the beautiful Mexican dresses. Sadly, they were a bit too proud of them, so I didn't buy one.

Alas, I'm out of time and have to rush off to work. Hopefully by tonight Jerry will have gotten the pictures downloaded and I'll be able to post them. Thanks again, Brenda, for a wonderful and fun weekend, and the great gifts.

WARNING: Really large pictures (sorry).

Here we all are at Rosarios. Starting at the head of the table are Jim (my DH), Jerry (Sally's DH), Sally, Clive, Len (May's DH), Ben (Day's DS), Tai (my DD), Nathan (May's DS), May, Sharon, Aleksi and me.

I only got pics of three of the plates (Jerry, Sally and Clive's). They will have to describe them, as I was too busy talking...

Breakfast at Mi Tierra's- Clive, Jerry, Sally, Sharon.

And a good time was had by all... That's my description!

I haven't even looked at my pix yet but hope to do so and download them tonight. I didn't get a group shot but did get a couple of candids and a couple of the food.

As was said above, the gethering was lovely. We enjoyed meeting Sharon and Clive and hearing their Canadian opinions of Texas. We were only able to make it for lunch as we made the trip back & forth from Houston all on Sunday. And because of the way we were seated, I didn't get to talk to Sally much, just enough to know I'd like to get to know her better! So I'm hoping for another Texas get together soon!

Thanks Brenda for the jaunt through Restaurant Depot (before lunch) where Nathan scored some cute Chef jackets that he plans to have embroidered with his and his girlfriend's names for use when they cook together (which they often do). Thanks also for the herbs, cajeta, etc, in the goody bag she gave us. WOW! And thanks Sally for the jalepeño peanut brittle. It might not sound good but that sweet-hot combination is delish!

As always, meeting up with CFers is fun fun fun and I look forward to the next gathering! Safe trip to Sharon and Clive as they travel on to New Orleans before heading home.

P.S. S&C, did you find a way to get to NO from SA without going through H-town?? LOL

Hi, Aleksi!!

Brenda, it's nice to see your family again. Sally and Jerry, I'm happy to "meet" you. Clive and Sharon, you are certainly getting around the country, LOL.

It looks like a good time and the food looks good, even if I don't know what it is, LOL. I think the second one looks especially good and what is all that stuff hanging from the ceiling at Mi Terra? Party decorations just for Clive and Sharon?

I'll keep watching for more pictures...

Annie

Looks and sounds like a wonderful weekend all y'all. It's great to see/meet everyone's DH's, kids, and of course Sally for the first time. Brenda you out did yourself with all of the planning and surcies for erveryone. I too will be watching for more pics.

I sure hope Sharon and Clive missed rush hour in Houston!! That would be most of the day from what I remember...LOL!

David

Your pictures are great and looks like such a good time and good food. I have enjoyed all the posts of Sharon and Clive's Route 66 adventure.

Thanks Brenda for posting those pics and allowing me to "virtually" visit San Antonio. And thanks all for sharing the fun! And boy does it look fun! And the food looks VERY YUM!

I do so want to visit Texas. I have very, very good friends living in San Marcos and a standing invitation to visit anytime. Now I just need the TIME and the MONEY and both together! A traveling companion would be icing on the cake. Oh, and a convertible! ;)

I haven't seen Jerry yet tonight, but I think he got the pictures onto the computer. I'll have to get his help with finding where he put them so I can post them. Brenda, your pictures look really good.

May, I wish we could have had more time to visit, also.

Mi Tierra's was a very colorful place, but I don't remember it being quite that dark inside.

I'm so glad I made the trip, and I'm glad to get to start meeting my cooking forum friends, too.

Sally

What fun!
A few years back, I went to San Antonio with another group from another forum on the GW, and we ate at Mi Tierra...Oh yes and we drank at Mi tierra too!
Here's a picture of part of the group after the Alamo visit...I am the one in the vest.

The pictures are great! Having met Sharon and Clive, I know that you all had a great time! How is the convertible holding up, Clive? any hailstorms yet?

Hi May! Hi Brenda! I'm glad Sharon and Clive got to meet you and your families. Mi Tierra's food looks nice and spicy!

Here we are in Lake Charles LA and lots more to to say about that later!!!

We had such a great time with the SA gang! Brenda , Sally, Mae and their families were an absolute delight to be with.

Thanks Brenda for putting it all together. Lunch was so much fun and we had a great visit. Brenda and Sally are not very good with instructions and brought some wonderful treats for all of us. Sally the peanut brittle is all gone! Brenda if they stop us at the border becuase of those small plastic bags with all that dry green grassy stuff in it...we'll call you for bail! LOL

We both loved San Antonio, what a great city, so pretty and well done but we loved the chance to meet up with some CF friends even more.

Thanks again Brenda!

Here are the four amigos at Rosarios

Great photos and what a happy looking bunch of GW'ers!
Food looks great too.

Sharon you look so well and rested. I think I would be exhausted after travelling around so much.
But you and Clive appear to be holding up well, both looking tanned and happy!

Safe journey the rest of the way.

Great group picture, great looking food! Looks like a fantastic time was had by all! Wish I was close enough to attend one of these. Glad you all had such a good time.

Shelley S.

Wow, what a fun get-together! Love all the photos, I always like to be able to put faces with names!

Linda

Wonderful pictures of you amigoes! You all look so happy and like you're having a great time. I'm wishing I had some of that jalapeno brittle and the milk caramel spread, yumyum!
