A Visit to San Antonio


Although Fred and I were leaving for Florida shortly, when we found out that Guy Blair would be in San Antonio for a few days, we made it a point to drive down there to visit. We left on Tuesday morning and came back Friday morning and had a very nice visit with Ron, Prudence and Guy.

You've undoubtedly seen a lot of Ruckman Haus on other album pages, so I won't repeat any of that information. On previous pages I have provided a link to the website that I have created for Ruckman Haus, and I am happy to do so again on this page. But you should know that about five years from now, (I am renovating this page in 2020), Ruckman Haus will close as a Bed and Breakfast business and Ron and Prudence will reconvert the house into a private home. For nostalgic reasons, they have decided to leave the website up for now, if only as a record of the thirteen years they spent operating it. If you want to visit the site, you can still do so, and there is a link for this below:

Visit the Ruckman Haus Website

We did our usual stuff with Guy and the Ruckmans; we have gotten so comfortable with them and they with us that when we are visiting we more just hang out with them than have a formal visit. We have also tended to take fewer and fewer pictures, as we've already shown you the house and gardens on numerous album pages. So all I'll do here is include a few of the pictures and movies that I took while we were there this week.

The only movie that I took this week was a film of Fred showing Prudence and Guy the pictures from our tour of the Arts District earlier this month. Prudence has always been interested in the arts scene- both in Fort Worth and in Dallas, and she was very interested in the plans for the Arts District and seeing the new buildings under construction. So Fred showed our pictures to both of them.

Below you will find a set of thumbnail images for some of the pictures we took this week. Click on those images to view the pictures:

 

We had a good visit, as we always do with Ron and Prudence.
