What a waffle!
I started the day with the waffle made in an iron in the shape of Texas. We sat with some people from northern MN. The hotel had some interesting happenings their. It was known even up to the mid 1920’s that hangings were done in the prison (our hotel), they were conducted on the third floor and bodies dumped through the second floor (our floor) to the first and removed. It turned out that so many people would come to watch the hangings that they closed them to the public.
San Antonio Botanical Garden, The garden was in bloom, colors abound, bun poppy’s, tulips, and much more. It was a nice walk and would enjoy doing it again.
Clover for St. Patrick's Day.
After driving by a couple of the Missions yesterday, we went to visit them today. Back to the mid 1750’s, they are neat to see, the craftsmanship of ages in them. They have a real reverence innate in them and people respect it as they visit. The Rose window is a fashion statement in town and came from San Jose, but no one knows where the name originated. A must to see.

Aqua Duct in use since early 1750's, they used this to water thousands of acres of plants which made the area useful.
We ate at a Bill Miller Bar-B-Q, good fried chicken, I two chopped pork sandwiches, next time I would get the ribs, they looked great. Down the road we went the land went from a hilly tree line road to low shrubs and a flat look to the land, ranch land. We are in the King’s Ranch area and probably going there Tuesday. So we ate a Chili’s, not much to choose from in Kingsville. Split a rack of ribs, original and a chipotle flavored one.jerr

The term rose window is often used as a generic term applied to a circular window, but is especially used for those found in churches of the Gothic architectural style and being divided into segments by stone mullions and tracery. The name “rose window” was not used before the 17th century and in all likelihood stems from the Old French word rouĂ©, meaning wheel, not from the English flower name, rose.
Not sure this description fits the window you saw. Love, Mary
