Texas-Arkansas trip

Well, we're back home safe and sound. I tried to add a picture
to my blog and it didn't come out right so I did it this way.
That is a picture of Buddy's cousin's wife' dog drinking out
of her iced tea glass. Not with her approval, of course, but
I thought it just s aid the right thing for our trip. We had
a wonderful trip, but were glad to get home. The weather and
the countryside are beautiful and GREEN!!! The Fosters in Texas
are wonderful hosts and fed us like royalty. The same in
Arkansas. Such good food!!! I'm going to try and take some of
those pounds off now that I'm home.
We both had wheelchairs this time. That had to be a funny
sight-two hop-a-longs on a trip. Believe me, though, that is
the way to go. Fake it sometime and see how nice they all
treat you. They take you exactly where you want to go and
quickly too.
Now that we're home, I still need to go through the "stuff"
we brought back to town from the ranch. There shouldn't be
any needy homeless now. I've given away a ton of things-and
still need to go through things again. Buddy and I both made
the trip well. Buddy had very little vertigo and I made it
on several shopping trips. Again---it's good to be home.

Texas-

here in Texas

Hey y'all,
We have had a wonderful time with the Fosters. Good food, good weather and
good company. We have gone shopping several times and hit the jacjpot every time.
We went to Fort Worth on Monday in the rain, but it stopped by the time we got
there. We saw the cattle drive again and marveled that the LONGHORNS could
even hold their heads up. Buddy found another hat that is different than all
his others. We mailed it and it is supposed to come to Say Road nextTuesday,
the day we get home.
Bev and I re going to a tea tomorrow with some friends,and Buddy and Jim will
probably go Taco Bell. We leave later on at 4:55 for Fort Smith. The weather has
been good, but there have been gusty winds. I hope that will not make a bumpy
plane ride. Buddy has had no Vertigo !!!!! Hip-hip-hoorah.
We are quite the pair in our twin wheelchairs. That is a really great way
to go and the Skycaps are fast and know exactly where we need to go. There is no
more meals served on American Airlines. It says on the ticket "food for purchase"
We are looking forward to being with Charley and Day. I hope the weather is as nice as it has been in Texas. Remember though, it's all marvelous to get home
again !!!!!
