1/25 – 2/1/2010 – Glenn & Sheila’s Visit

Our good friends, Glenn and Sheila, came to visit the last week of January and we had a great time with them as always with visiting, eating, and sightseeing.  We spent one long day driving to Llano for a lunch at Cooper’s.  This picture is of one of their many open pit barbeques.

And here we are enjoying the remains of the meal.

On the way back home, we stopped for a beer in Luckenbach.

After getting rested up for a couple of days, we were ready for another sightseeing day.  Our first stop was Wimberley Glassworks to see their showroom and view a glassblowing display.  Here are some photos from their showroom.

That demo really worked up our appetites, so we headed to Gruene for a great meal at The Gristmill.

After eating, we went into the Gruene Hall to see what was going.  There was no entertainment, but they seemed to be setting up for the evening’s music.

I didn’t get a very good photo, but that evening the full moon was a Wolf Moon.
