It was not a bit fancy but it was delightful. Both Saturday and Sunday, Ken and I drove into San Antonio to spend time with David, Suzanne and the girls. We arrived mid afternoon and just hang out at home.
On Saturday, when we arrived mid afternoon, the girls and Suzanne were doing errands while Sarah was attending a volleyball game.. David was sitting in the living room watching an on line art auction. Both Ken and I sat beside him on the couch and watched too. It was fascinating, especially with the sophisticated technology. David, for his garage, collects original movie art, and he had bids on two pieces later in the sale. It is such a surprise to see a movie poster sell for $10,000. and the next one for $500. They looked the same to me. We watched with great interest. And the best part is that David was able to buy the two pieces he wanted. We three felt like we had won the lottery. The sale only had three pieces or original art. David bought the first piece for a modest amount but the one after sold for $7,000. And the second piece he bought was even more inexpensive. It was his Christmas present to himself!!
We watched the Baylor football game together on Saturday evening while eating Chinese food and we watched more football late in the day on Sunday.
But now it did get fancy at the Dickie family. For dinner on Sunday, we ate in the dining room, a dinner of beef fillets and baked potatoes and asparagus. Delicious and fancy too. Ken and I enjoyed two great days with our Texas family.
