San Antonio and the Riverwalk

By -
Kathy and I planned a week of vacation to work in the yard and get a jump on spring.  I worked at my desk all day Saturday and Sunday to turn in orders.  We both worked in the yard on Monday to start collecting the leaves.  I then went back to work in my office on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.  So much for the yard work.  We had reservations on the Riverwalk for Friday and Saturday night.  We had a delightful time with a satisfying mix of old Texas history, beautiful landscapes and flowers, and wonderful food and music.  We have to thank each of you, as this is our Wedding Present from the Kennison Clan.  I have posted some photos on my web albums.

Nice pictures, so many flowers and Kathy looked pretty in her yellow jacket. I've been to San Antonio but I missed the mission. I like colonial mission style but the history I need to read again. Our yard is mess (a partly covered with snow). The whole thing needs done. I should have done it in the fall because if it gets hot this summer I don't have enough water to keep it cool. Oh well!

Kevin, your pictures were spectacular....as they always are! We were in San Antonia in February also but I don't remember all of the flowers. We loved that trip anyway! It looks like you had a wonderfully, refreshing weekend.

Glad that you got some work finished, but were able to get away. I had a conference in San Antonio. We loved the River Walk and the music. Your pictures are terrific.
It was so warm today that I got to play tennis outside. Three sets and three hours. Great fun and so nice to be outside. I hope that all of you are enjoying your warm weather.

Family Contacts

 Carey called me and asked if I could find the listing of contacts for our family that he created years ago.  I did have a file copy and Carey and I updated it.  I have attached this here in Word and Pages that can be edited for new entries and updates.  There is also a PDF copy.  I added sections for Aunts & Uncles and Cousins.  These sections are missing people and dates, but perhaps I can work with Kristin to fill in some of this.

 When watching the evening news today, I saw an image of coal barges lined up at the docks at the USS Mon Valley Steel Plant.  Of course the news segment was about the White House blocking the sale of USS to Nippon Steel.  My mind wandered to to dad's career at the Robena Prep Plant.  I didn't think that it was still in operation but I searched for more information.  I found that the Robena deep mines closed in 1983, but plant continued to operate until 2017 processing coal from surface mining for Consol Mining.  It seems that reclamation of the site began many years before 2017, most likely mandated by local concerns about environmental damage from seepage from the three large slurry ponds and other surface contamination.  Dad took me out one Sunday afternoon to inspect the dikes and berms around the ponds.  We had to hop into one of the big company trucks to traverse the dirt roads around the site. I read a couple of articles about the ongoing l...
