Be Like The Alamo

---

This husband and I…

Got a gift…a generous and thoughtful gift from that daughter of his…five nights in a hotel right by the Alamo…

And as we all know, this old gal loves the Alamo…absolutely loves, loves, loves it…it’s beauty…it’s history…it’s story…

Usually walk up from the Riverwalk…can see it from a distance…the limestone exterior…the arched doorway…the green of the courtyard…it never fails to take the breath away…

Except this year the hotel was to the back of the mission…walked up from behind…and what to my wondering eyes should I see?…nothing…well not nothing, but also not the Alamo we’ve come to love…

Because here, there and everywhere were tents and cranes, fences and workers, digging, drilling, pounding, hammering…a bonafide archeological dig happening right there surrounding that gorgeous building…

And so it is…in life…this old gal and her best friend, The Alamo…no matter how long you’ve been around…no matter how much you think you’ve done…307 years or 64…you’re still a work in progress…

So be like the Alamo…keep growing…keep changing…dig deep…work hard…discover those treasures…still waiting to be found…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
