Happy Mothers Day!

May 11, 2008

I hope all of you mothers out there had a great day.

Although all of my kids called to wish me a happy Mother's Day we couldn't get together this year but Jerry made sure that I was pampered anyway. He managed to sneek out of the house early Sunday morning for flowers and a card and then served me breakfast in bed. I didn't roll out of bed until about 1030 and he was already busy working on lunch. By the time I had showered lunch was ready and we sat down to eat. While I was finishing getting ready he got the dishes done. What a guy!

The rest of the afternoon was just spent watching TV and napping until Kevin stopped by to wish me a Happy Mother's day. For those of you who don't know, Kevin is the oldest son. He had been by the cemetery to visit his mother before coming to the house. We had a good visit and then he headed home. Kevin has just been great to me and I love him for that.

Jerry and I went for a walk in the Granbury Park and then on to dinner before ending our day.

Thank you, Jerry, for such a good day.

Until next time.

White Horse Station, Clifton, Texas

This week has been pretty quiet. Brian came by for a visit on Thursday afternoon and we took him to dinner at Loco Coyote. For those of you who haven't been there, you should try it out. It is an old building out in the country with a big porch for dining and inside the tables just have benches to sit on. It serves great food and is just a neat place to eat.


Jerry and I went to Clifton tonight, Jerry was playing bass with a band for a dance at the White Horse Station. As usual it was a lot of fun. Some of the band members have played with some big country stars back in their younger days. They had a sax player this time and surprisingly enough he really sounded good with the country music they played. The turn out for these events is usually pretty good for a small town. I really admire some of the older people for getting out on the dance floor and just having fun.

Tomorrow Jerry plays in a golf tournament in Meridian and I will be taking care of business.

Take time to have fun and enjoy your surroundings whereever they may be.

Until next time.

Canton

May 4, 2008,

Of course this is me under an arbor at the park in Glen Rose.

We couldn't decide what we wanted to do today but we ended up at Canton's First Monday Trade Days.

We arrived just in time for a healthy lunch of Twister Fries and a Sausage Corndog for Jerry. Who doesn't love Twister Fries. We opted for homemade ice cream for desert instead of funnel cake. It really hit the spot.

The weather was perfect and after strolling around the shops for about three hours we decided to head back home. We decided to take Highway 67 back through Cleburne where we would eat dinner at a restaurant there that has a pretty good steak. Then on to Glen Rose. There is a quant little park there that we wanted to walk around in, it features a few old buildings and a nice walk around by the Puluxy River.

The above pictures were taken at the park.

Until next time.

Update

May 7, 2008

This is just a quick update to get us current.

After our trip to San Antonio we have just been working around here. Lots of mowing to do with all the rain. Several of the workers that were staying here have pulled out and it is pretty quite around here. We still have a lot of spaces filled but we are looking forward to filling back up again.

Jerry is finally feeling better but the cough is lingering around for a while eventhough it is better as well.

We kept Alex overnight this last week. That was fun. He had soooooooo much fun. I bet he walked ten miles. He loved being outside and just being a little boy. He drove the golf cart, played in the dog pen, checked out the flowers and much more. He also pulled Mimi around by the cord around my neck that I keep my office keys on, as you can see above. We had a good time. Alex is very loving and sweet and is generally a good boy.

Until next time.
