Around noon all six of us piled into Chuck & Kathy's truck and headed for Luckenbach where we were meeting up with Bob & Molly for the day. Luckenbach is just a tiny little town that was made famous by Willie Nelson singing about it. Well, yesterday they were having a "festival". They were celebrating the return of the mud dawber. Why they would celebrate the return of a wasp I have no idea. The town consists of a dance hall, a general store with the post office and a bar. The parking lot is bigger than the town. LOL
The sign says population 3 but the guy in the store said it's really only 1 now
The Store & Post Office
The Bar
The Dance Hall
I don't know why but this guy brought his bull to take pictures with
Molly & Bob
Chuck & Kathy
Donna & Nolan
We left the "town loop" and headed for Uptown Luckenbach where we were looking for Monroe. He etches on granite and glass and advertises that he draws the fastest armadillo ever seen. He wasn't there but he leaves his doors unlocked and his gift shop is on the honor system. Unbelievable. He did leave a note saying that he was at the Fredericksburg Trade Days so off we went to find him.
Molly wanted this ornament so she dutifully deposited her money in the pipe. By the way, if you want to see any picture bigger just click on it.
We found the Fredericksburg Trade Days flea market and went on our search for Monroe. We all had brought beer bottles with us for him to etch. We found him!!
This place was a HUGE flea market with LOTS and LOTS of junk! And I do mean junk. There were some barns that had some nice things along with jams, jellies and dips. We sampled quite a few so you know what that means? Yep, we had to buy all the ones that Rod sampled.
Rows and rows of junk
And I do mean JUNK
From there we had to fortify ourselves for the ride home so on to town and the Auslander restaurant for some good German food.
I had jagerschnitzel, spatzel and potato pancakes. I had leftovers for lunch
