Daddy and ME

I wanted to get pictures done of the kids and Daddy before he leaves.  We didn't get them done exactly as I wanted, but at least the kids will have something.

Fredericksberg, Texas Oktoberfest


Alan, my Mother-in-law Cathy, and I went to the Fredericksberg Oktoberfest today. This is something my deceased Father-in-law Steve would have gone to.  Steve died 6 months ago and left a giant hole in my life. It was a very bittersweet time there. I think it made me miss him even more, if that were possible. I can't even imagine what Cathy is going through right now. We exchanged stories about Steve on the way home. It was healing. I know I will never completely heal, but every little bit helped. The festival was a little disappointing, it has a lot of German beer and food but not a whole lot of crafts or things to do. We did end up getting our characterure done, and walked the town. Fredericksberg has a lot of little tourist shops, my favorites being a candle shop where they make the candles right on front of you. My second favorite shop being a little clothes shop called, "Scarlett." (it was a favorite only because of the name.).  I really enjoyed spending the time with Cathy, I don't get the chance to do it that often. Hopefully in the future it will happen more often.
