The plan worked perfectly. By 11:45, Suzanne arrived by cab to David and Suzanne's house where Ken and I were waiting. Her direct flight from Baltimore was on time and other than thirty minutes of rough air coming into San Antonio, the flight was easy, except she had to leave Bethesda at 5:30am.
Today was new topography for Suzanne as we drove west from San Antonio heading for the ranch. For lunch we ate at Comfort, the town called The Antique Town, which is also charming and very German. Because Suzanne has a short time to stay at the Hill Country, we drove home the long way and drove straight north to Fredericksburg so she could at least see a bit of the town. Perhaps tomorrow she will drive into Fredericksburg by herself to visit the museums and the shops.
The most startling impression on Suzanne was the lack of traffic on the roads. Once you get west of Boerne, the traffic disappears and you have the road to yourself. And at the ranch she realized just how isolated we really are. But the beauty of the place is in the quiet. After a walk before dinner, we three sat on the porch for a glass of wine. The air was a perfect temperature and the air was still, which is unusual for the Top House. And there were no sirens, no honking horns, no screeching brakes. We all agreed that our Top House was perfect and we three felt fortunate to be here, together.
