October 5, 2015. Harper, Texas. Success.

Every so often, all day long, everything goes right.  Today was one of those days.  Our first task was to drive to Fredericksburg and ask Dr. Stotz to sign the paperwork for the handicapped license plates.  In addition he was required to fill out a statement saying that the disability was permanent.  We left the form around 11:30, hoping he would sign it over his lunch, but as he is a busy man, so we were not sure he would be able to complete the task.  But we left it with his receptionist and thanked her for her help.

Next task was to visit an art gallery to shop for Christmas gifts for the Texas family.  The bags of goodies are complete but included nothing of real value and the bags for David and Suzanne were empty, which is not good when we will be leaving in less than two weeks.  But the Fredericksburg gallery had a wide range of styles and prices so I was able to purchase appropriate gifts for all.  I was pleased.

Our lunch was taken at a new Mexican restaurant.  The food was tasty.  This was the first time we have eaten Mexican food since arriving in Texas, which is unusual.  Immediately after lunch we stopped at Dr. Stotz's office and hurrah for him.  The form was ready.  We immediately went to the court house to obtain our new plates.   The lady who looked after us was pleasant and efficient so we were soon on our way, having the feeling that we have now graduated to handicapped license plates.

On the way home we stopped at the little place in Harper who repairs cars and he quickly changed the plates.   "Hurrah,"  we said to each other.  Everything on our list had been accomplished, at least for today.
