Here in Texas

We've had good times here in hot Texas. Every day is the same as far as the weather goes; it's hot, humid, and windy. Where the weather lacks, the hospitality excels in every way; Deb doesn't let a plate stay empty long before she insists on something else to enjoy. We've had a great time with family; Jeff and Deb are grandparents now, and we've gotten to spend time with both grandson and granddaughter. Bastian and Deb have enjoyed many a wild ride on the four-wheeler, throwing stones as they tear like lightening through the driveway around here. Last night Bastian and I took a drive over to the famous Stockyards in Ft. Worth; it's definitely a different culture, wow. Today we're planning the next phase of the journey, tomorrow we'll spend in Dallas with Jeff, Deb, and perhaps Travis and Sarah, and on Tuesday morning we'll bid this hot place adieu. Onward, ever onward!
