As usual, he treated us like queens for the day. He took us all through King William and clear out to Loop 410 to show us the river development that is coming to the area of town where he lives. Many, many things are happening and they are all good and encouraging. The river development is grandiose.....flood control, landscaping, man made habitats for fish, ducks, etc., and many, many unsightly areas converted into unimaginable great uses. The old, abandoned warehouses are being converted into lofts and condos like in New York. The old historic markings are being protected and enhanced. It is just wonderful!!!!!
We went to all of the Missions to see the restoration projects in progress, too, under a grant from the gov. for the beautification and restoration of the historic area. It is already funded and progress won't have to be halted in midstream for lack of funding.
After lunch, Tia and I (missing Little Susie because she has the flu and Gretchen because she was helping others) went to a make-up party in a salon located in one of the converted warehouses close to where Wes lives and had a great time moving from one make-up or hair-do station to the other!! One of the hostesses for the make up party was Erin, the delightful girl who styles Gretchen, Little Susie's , and Tia's hair. She was so delightful to us.
It was a great day and we always treasure the time that we get to spend together.....we just missed Gretchen and Little Susie who had planned to go with us originally.
