Short Weekend in Fredericksburg

On Thursday, Sandy and I drove up to Fredericksburg...about 2 hours from Austin...for a 10th anniversary getaway.
Of German origin, Fredericksburg is a tourist town with an Old West feel to it. In fact, while there, we visited Gish's Old West Museum, which was quite interesting. It's a private museum, owned by a nice gentleman in his 80s, who has been collecting Old West stuff all his life.
However, Fredericksburg's main claim to fame is that it's the birthplace of Admiral Chester Nimitz, Commander of the Pacific War, and there are several museums there in his honor.
We left Fredericksburg a day early and came home. The food there (except for the ice cream) was not that good and neither was the hotel where we stayed. Truthfully, you can "do" the town in one full day...and I much prefer to sleep in my own bed.
Yesterday, I edited the proofs of both GABLE and ORSON WELLES, and will do the same with CLARA BOW and FLYNN within the next couple of days.
Hopefully, one of these last two scripts with be error-free, so that I can approve it for sale without ordering a second proof.
Fingers crossed.
You have a creative day, and I'll be back with you tomorrow.
Michael
