Update on our package delivery saga: The Pipe Creek USPS told us they won’t hold a package unless it’s sent USPS because they have no way of marking it was delivered. So our UPS delivery was sent back by USPS. They did tell us that if we call ahead of time to let them know we have a non-USPS package coming, they will hold it for us. We are gradually creating a guide for getting mail and packages while on the road.
We went to a Government Canyon State Natural Area which has 110 million year old dinosaur tracks but the trail to the tracks was closed due to the recent rain. The trails are also not dog friendly so we probably won’t go back.
On the way to the park, we saw a stray dog cross the street in a busy area. I got out to try and catch him and I was quickly joined by three other people including someone who knew where he lived. We didn’t catch him but he was headed in the direction of his house and one lady was going to try to follow him into the area to see if he made it home. It was nice to be around other animal lovers.

We had a great day! I got a haircut and then we went grocery shopping at H-E-B (Here Everything’s Better). This grocery store is like Kroger but better. They actually put the label of “vegan” right on the price tag attached to the shelf.
I cooked a ton of food while Daniel built a shelf to replace a heavier unit in our closet. Of course, Peter monitored his work.

It’s my birthday! For years I refused to work on my birthday and instead spent my special day doing something fun. Today, we went to Boerne, TX at the suggestion of the hairstylist I saw yesterday. It was a cute town. We found a clothing store in an old house with a well outside. It was the oldest house in town. I found a cute dress there. We also saw some neat antiques including a 17th century Italian limestone fireplace surround and a 16th century French wall fountain. They also had 17th century limestone floor tiles which I really liked.
Then we went to a Japanese Tea Garden in San Antonio. It was built in an old quarry. Unfortunately, it was very crowded and not as nice as other Japanese gardens we’ve been to.
To end the night, we went back to the San Antonio Riverwalk because we wanted to see it lit up at night. We found a nice place to sit – a small heart shaped island on the river.
