Sorry that I didn't post about our trip to Texas earlier.......We had a great time!!! It was so good to see my cousin, Steve, and his wife, Belinda!!! I hadn't seen them for almost 20 years!! Steve still has his wonderful sense of humor and soon had us all laughing!!! They had a very nice 25th anniversary party that included aunts, uncles, and cousins. My aunt, Joyce, had really gone all out with the cake and everything!!
I went down on Friday with my Mom, Step-dad, and my brother. It was a quiet trip for the most part. My Mom read a book and my brother slept while Art drove. It probably was a good thing because I found out that my brother had been arrested for beating up a guy that was in his ex (?) wife's bed......it's a long story.....well, it's just another in a long line of bad decidions. His life is so full of drama.
I stayed with Rick and Lynette, my cousin and his wife. They are such wonderful people.....Glen and I get along with them so well!!! They've just completed a lot of work on their home and yard.....it was all so beautiful!!! They had a wonderful swimming pool and I was so excited about it but the water was so hot!! The weather was terribly hot and just warmed the water up too much. I did swim but it was not as refreshing as I thought that it would be.
An aunt and uncle who lost everything in Katrina now live in this community and we've never really had too much to do with them because they lived too far away.....had us over for a shrimp supper. It was really good!!
Another day Lynette, Carol (another aunt), and I went to Gladewater and shopped the antique stores. We didn't near make it to all of them!!! I found a Chatty Cathy doll in her original clothes!!! I was pretty excited because I've always wanted one!!!
Glen and I headed home on Wednesday and decided to not go on the Indian Nation Turnpike so we could see the country.......we found out that it takes a looooong time to drive through the southern part of Oklahoma!!!!! So I called my Aunt Marva and we spent the night at her house in Muskogee. The next morning we left and hit some flea markets on the way home!!!
I was so ready to get home and see my Baby Dean!!! Rick and Lynette had a new little granddaughter, Milie Jo, that was 7 months old and soooo cute.......and Marva's little great-granddaughter, Addy, was at Marva's house and also cute.......I told Glen that I had ooo'd and awwww'd over everyone else's baby that I needed to see my own!!!
It was a great trip and so relaxing!! Being down there with my Aunt Carol and her husband, Richard, and Rick and Lynette is like being with mom and dad and a brother and sister. They're very close family to us.
