We got back to San Antonio from Dallas on the 16th. We had a leisurely morning the day we left Dallas and even got to meet the owner of the house we stayed in. He was very nice and we told him we'd love to stay in his house again some time.
Our drive back to San Antonio was good except for one very scary incident in Georgetown. We were driving down 35 when all of a sudden we noticed a truck on the other side leave its lane and start careening at a very high speed in our direction!!! We both watched incredulously as the truck drove through the grass in the center and we feared that maybe his truck would come into our lane of traffic and possibly hit us head on or at least go in front of us across our lane. Guillermo slowed down as best as he could and the next thing we knew, the truck SLAMMED up against the concrete divider right ahead of us, sending a massive cloud of dirt and dust across our side of the highway. Driving through that cloud of dirt was hard - you could hardly see a thing and we hoped nothing bigger than dirt would fly in our direction. BUT, we were very grateful that the concrete divider stopped the truck (not too sure if we could have avoided hitting him if he had come all the way across), we were very grateful that the cloud of dirt was all we had to contend with and we felt very sorry for the person who just crashed. That truck hit the concrete at full speed and the impact could not have been good for them at all. When we looked back, we saw several cars pulling over on both sides, so we were glad to see that people were stopping to help. We can't imagine what must have happened to make that truck leave the highway so suddenly.
We spent that night and the following night at Mom's house (spending a lot of time at Linda's house with Jacob) and on the 18th in the evening we went to the house out in Helotes where we're going to live for the next three weeks.
The people we're going to house sit for were still home, but it was a good opportunity to spend some time with them around so that we could get to know various things about how things function around their house. They left on their trip the next day around 1:30.
We are really enjoying living here in this house. We keep thinking, "We could live here!" The living room is all window on two sides so there is a wonderful view of the hill country and in one direction you can see the lights of the city of San Antonio. The home is two story and our bedroom is on the bottom floor. The kitchen is HUGE and has every convenience that you could think of.
Our first evening here, we took a walk around the neighborhood admiring the other homes in the area. Most of the homes here are really big. The neighborhood is very hilly so we had a lot of going up and down on our walk. Good exercise! That first evening, the sunset was really nice glowing behind the hills. It was so nice to be outside walking around in such a lovely area. We saw lots of rabbits, too!
