Home Again (for a little while)
Well I've been home since Sunday afternoon and am leaving again Sunday morning. This time it's to Virginia and Shaun, Tiff and JIMMY. Can't wait.
However here's a quick update on the Arizona trip. Had a great time. The reunion was lots of fun and then we took several days to come home. Did a little sight seeing. Went through the Big Bend country. It's really pretty, especially after some rain that has made the grass green and high. Had lunch at Alpine at the Holland Hotel in the Edelwiess restaurant. The hotel is an old one that has been redone and the restaurant is also a brewery with stacks of bags of hops etc. all over the place, really fun. Went to Barksdale and saw Aunts and Uncle and Cousins. Then up to Fredricksburg for lunch and a little shopping. It was Octoberfest so town was really crowded and we moved on to Johnston City. Ate at the most wonderful Silver K restaurant in the old lumberyard. Wonderful!! (Thought of you, Jane) Went to Enchanted Rock (you really should see it, it's worth the trip) and then on to Llano for BBQ at Cooper's, also an experience you shouldn't miss. Much fun and great food. Drove through the lakes around Buchanan Dam, really pretty!! Then spent the night in Giddings and came home the next day. All around, a great time.
One quick story before I gotta go and get this day started, I've got lots to do to be ready to go tomorrow morning and I have a Sunrider conference this afternoon. Looking forward to both.
Anyway, the story: On Monday we were all going on an excursion and Grandma Miller, her sister Aunt G (both in their 80's) were in the car with Carrol Ann, Amanda and I. Jim and TJ were going to get my purse and meet us at the gate. Well I decided I'd better wait and make sure Jim could find my purse, as it was under some things and definitely out of sight. I explained this little delay to my passengers by saying "you know how sometimes men can't find things" and Grandma said "Yes, my Aunt used to say "they can only find one thing and that's because they have one hand on it all the time"!!!!!!!!!!! DO YOU LOVE IT??? We had such a good laugh. Just goes to show, the more things change. . . the more they stay the same :)
So with that little story I say goodbye for now.
