First the 'Big A' now the 'Big D' *People Notes*

Our first stop in Texas landed us at Kim and Allan's house, and we couldn't get to the Tex-Mex frestaurants fast enough!! That is something that is hard to find in certain areas of the country and we gorged ourselves on guacamole and fantastic food! Yay!


Then we tried to beat the hurricane rains & winds and headed south to see the grandkids. They are so much fun to visit, and wow, do they ever grow fast! Cannot believe Michael and Kayla are almost a year older than our last trip through Texas. Kayla celebrated her 3rd birthday while we were in Dallas, and Michael got a visit from the tooth fairy! Brian & Jill have settled into a wonderful, fun life...including two very cool cats (even if Odie doesn't think so!).



We played with grandkids, had some good home cookin' (wait...I cooked!), hunkered down for a 'hurricane party' while Ike blew through, had a hilarious day of golf (more on that later), birthday parties for Kayla, Jeannie and Brian...and glorious Blue Bell Ice Cream!! That is the best ice cream in the world, and is not readily available in states outside of Texas. So, if you live in an area that has Blue Bell, consider yourself lucky because we have searched the freezer section in many states only to be disappointed.

Kayla entertained us in the evenings with her country charm and amazing vocals...I'm just saying that Hannah Montana had better be warned!

Thank you 'Big D'...happy trails!
