Christmas in San Angelo 12-18-07

We set the alarms to get up early this morning to take Mom and Dad to the hospital for tests. Since they were both going to be under anesthesia at the same time they needed some one there to keep track of things and some one to drive them home. So we volunteered since we were going to heading back this way to go home. All went well and Mom slept a good part of the afternoon.

While they were relaxing we slipped out to do some Christmas shopping. It's amazing how busy we've been that we didn't have time to really do any Christmas shopping up to now. Hiking, visiting, sight seeing, driving....it's been go go go! Knowing that we weren't going to see Frank's parents again until after the holidays we decided to have Christmas early. Shopping at the mall in San Angelo was interesting. They have all the usual stores, Sears, Penneys, Belks, and so on, but not the crowds. Frank even said it was pleasant and he hates crowds.
