First day in Alamo city

Had a great very tiring day. Up at 4am on road to make it to basic for Airmans coin ceremony. Spent day with Jacob and great family and friends. 

Tour old favorites and some new too. Need some sleep will have a few reviews on the site below later. Lots more to follow tomorrow and throughout the weekend 

San Antonio

Leaving in the morning  it'll be a short get away. Anything ya wanna see? Hit me up! 

Sunday meals

What's your family's favorite Sunday meal? Something easy? Slow cooked all day? Crock pot or smoker? 

Weekend fun

So most weekend here are working in the yard.  Being in a new house and on a big lot means every bit of spare time goes into working on the yard to get it the way you want. I figure some day it might actually be done.  

  The only good part about mowing, edging and weeding for hours on end is the beer and smelling whatever is on the smoker all day.  There is something to be said about the aroma of smoke spreading through the small neighborhood.  

We always welcome new friends to stop by and ask what's cooking.  So find me stop by and try some great food. But bring your work boots cause ill put ya to work! 

Al's Diner recap

What made me bring this up again you ask...Well being that it is by far the most viewed, commented, and emails about than any other of my blogs. I was overwhelmed by the people that contacted me and said they had the same rude treatment.

  I never wish anyone ill will or failure. I only want people to be aware and maybe even the owners to learn and listen. Going out to eat now days is hard for most families. It is by far a luxury to go have someone else make you that you could do cheaper and maybe better at home.
 So to not get the best food, service and experience you can every single time is a waste.

I would have thought through all this the owner Al, would have asked more politely for me to come back and make this better. I may have to sneak back to Lawn and see if it has changed, even though I have heard it hasnt in any means. I do know I better hurry up and do it while they are still there!

If you have had a bad experience, at Als or anywhere else let me know I will do my part. I always check it out for myself before I write my opinions. I am always fair and to the point. I'm here for the diner not the owners.

good luck and happy eatting

Need more views and ideas for website too so keep those coming. 

The mead is doing great. Any local artist wanna design a label contact me I'd love to help each other out. 

Almost made it

So the goal was 7k web page views in the first year, well came real close ending at 6892. Well lets go way past that on the next year. I wanna shoot for 20k total hits!

I will continue to add new things, where I go what I eat and of course the meads. I do need all my loyal fans to help with suggestions on what you want to see. I can add the recipes that we use (maybe not all) per request.

If there is a place in Texas, or who know just ask. Curious about Abilene, well youve come to the right spot send a questions or request and I will be more than happy to answer the best I can and pictures.

There are somethings planned in the future and I try to update the calendar on page as often as I can. We are also on Facebook search for Texas Travels page there if interested. Its hard to keep it all going at the same time so look at them all! HA.
