Today we saw three houses in Wilson County, south of San Antonio--no longer the hill country. However, it is beautiful rolling countryside that grows fruit trees well (TR likes that idea) and is flat enough to delight TR. The three properties we saw today all were over an acre and one close to 2. Only one of the houses was too small for what we want. All were over what we want to pay (or at least what we think we want to pay), but we figure if we come in with cash, we can bargain them down some. We especially love the town of Floresville. The mayor of the town, Diana Garza, was the real estate agent who met us at the property. I'm already ready to support her for governor! (No, she is not running--she was just elected mayor of this tiny town, but I liked her.) The town looks exactly like the town in The Last Picture Show. Too cool.
The other little town we saw two houses in was La Vernia which has a non-existent downtown. So now we consult with Phyllis Wolper (our Lake Dallas agent) to see what she thinks we can sell our house for and what we have to do to do that.
After leaving Mary Rios, we stopped on the way home at a winery we had been seeing on our way up to her office and back--Dry Comal Creek Vineyards in New Braunfels. We enjoyed their wines so much, we got a bottle of their sparkling and took it out to their table area to drink. Then I got a short sleeved denim shirt with their logo on it and six bottles of wine. One is now chilling in our cooler.
Then we went to Mamacita's for dinner--had to have Mexican before heading back to Dallas. Mamacita's is a chain, but it was quickly available and good. Now back in the room for a quiet evening.
