Three Generations

My son Will hates that I blog---not that he will admit ever reading it. Our visit to him in San Antonio was a great adventure and a good reunion. We were amazed that his apartment was in such good order because he had moved the day before we arrived. But he had his kitchen, cook books, practically the whole house unpacked and ship-shape. He took us to his office (upper left) and took some time off to "hang" with us. A lot of his efforts were spent cooking us fabulous meals. It would be hard to pick a favorite from his asparagus risotto, chicken roulades, boneless short ribs cooked with Guinness and prunes, along with his mashed potatoes with heavy cream. It was all great.
In the picture above, Will demonstrates a traditional Japanese stringed instrument, the sanshinn. He was lucky enough to find a good teacher in Okinawa, and developed a love of the instrument. Will took us to several great restaurants --P F. Chang's and Canyon Creek. We had great lemon grass chicken at Chang's and Dad was complimented with a Happy 97th Birthday Key Lime pie at Canyon Creek. Both places had great service and tasty food.

A highlight of the week was our Riverwalk Cruise around the San Antonio River Downtown Saturday. Will entertained us with a ride on the only day of week we had sunshine. After days of rain everyone, including vendors, was out on the walk. It was a great way to spend an hour, and dad--who hadn't been in a boat for a few years--enjoyed it immensely. It was a good day for 3 generations.
