Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning how to dance in the rain.

Vegas Bound


Well Mom and I are getting ready to head to Vegas..............a girl's only trip. We leave out on Sunday, June 29 on Southwest out of Austin and are staying at Caesar's Palace on the strip.
We are taking in some shows, seeing Bette Midler, shopping and doing some sightseeing.
Since neither of us are gamblers we will fill our days with other things. We also hope to eat at some nice restaurants while in Vegas. It looks like it is going to be hot in Vegas, but heck it is hot here at home in Texas.

Work Day at the Atchetee House

Dale took off to the airport this morning for a brief flight around town. I stayed home, washed some clothes and prepared lunch. Dale decided to treat the tops of the new fence post and I started painting the porch post. We also took Dale's old truck down to the highway in hopes of selling it. Got a few calls, but no sale yet.
It was hot and windy with no rain, except a brief shower early this morning. I watered my flowerbeds late this afternoon, the only way to keep them alive in the midst of our drought.
Tomorrow is another day, we might fly down the coast for lunch, if the weather permits.
I almost forgot, today we celebrated our four month anniversary!

Lunch Bunch El Campo Class of 1961



Today we headed to El Campo for the monthly meeting of the "Lunch Bunch" group at the Firehouse Bar and Grill. We made a couple stops before the restaurant, to visit some of Dale's old friends.
We started out with a small group, but soon the group grew and we had ten for lunch. As usual everybody was busy catching up and finding out what was going on in each other's lives. After lunch, we stopped by Evon and Linda's house to pick up some home grown tomatoes. Linda has a real green thumb!
It was good to see every-one, especially since we had missed the last two meetings of the "Lunch Bunch".
