Old Spanish Missions of San Antonio

San Antonio Missions


I love San Antonio.  I guess that is evident by the amount of time I have donated to it on my blog.  I encourage you to visit San Antonio but plan to spend at least 5 days there.  And if you have kids or grandkids in tow, there is plenty there for them to enjoy.

I don't get paid a penny for expounding on the loveliness of their city.  I am paid by the memories of my visits there.

For your enjoyment, read about the Spanish Missions in San Antonio.  Enjoy the wonderful pictures and picture yourself standing in front of one taking your own travel pictures.

Enjoy.

Tribute: The Final Kay

Photogenic Kay Well, here it is, 2020 already. I wrote this for Kay in 2017, hoping she might read it. She had been very ill for some time, but I could not confirm any details until recently. Unfortunately, Kay passed away last January from complications of diabetes. I had been searching for information about her without any luck. Last month, I had a temporary gig as an admin for a Facebook group for former Bell System employees.  I found her name on some information that had not been posted promptly.  One of my friends was kind enough to forward her obituary to me. When you read her obituary, you will see how artistic and talented and loved she was. She was a slow burner; it took Kay years to find true happiness and love, but on the way, she endeared herself to us by making us laugh, helping us if we needed it, and watching her grow. She loved and was loved. About our Kay. When I started working in the Business Office, I met and became friends with many great people.

Tribute: Sandy K. A Big Heart In A Little Package

 Some of you will know part of my story, some will not. This remembrance is for a young lady I met in the summer of 1975.  But she will not get to read it, because she has passed from this life, on to somewhere that pain and sickness and sorrow are no longer present.  Sandy left our world on August 19, 2021, after a battle with cancer.   In 1975, I transferred to the North Business Office in Dallas, Tx., from the National Yellow Pages Office in Downtown Dallas.  I was going to be in a training class that would be about 8 or 9 weeks long but the other members of my class had not been released to the business office yet.  That meant that I had a designated job of doing everyone's junk work that they couldn't do because they were tied up on the phone with customers.  This is how I met Sandy. Now, Sandy was not in the group that I would be assigned to, she was in another group but we all worked for the same manager, Jerry Brantley.  I was passed around like a box of tissues during
