Oct 2, 2012 - Visiting Kids

On Oct. 2, after leaving Rotan, we stopped at the next small town, Anson, so I could visit the cemetery where my paternal grandmother is buried. First, we had to find the cemetery. Clark stopped to ask directions and was told we couldn't miss it and were headed in the right direction. We didn't miss it, but it was farther out of town than was indicated. We found ourselves in a huge cemetery and the challenge was to find one specific plot. I called my brother, because he's been there before. I must have given him bad information about the...

Miles had to be covered on June 23, as we drove from Ashdown, AR, to Hurst, TX. It was the 14th birthday of our #3 grandson and we wanted to get there in order to join the celebration.

Triple digit temperatures hit while we were there, so it was hot. Clark...

They won't take off if the temperature is not 50 degrees or above. The weather was miserable all winter, so getting a flight was a bit iffy. The 27th dawned beautiful and clear and warm. It was a perfect day for...

Oct 15, 2009 - Visiting Kids

Arrival at Hurst was later than we had planned, because we started later than we had intended. One of the couples Clark had parked the evening before wanted to visit and we found kindred souls and visited much longer than intended. That put us on the road late morning, instead of fairly early. That put us arriving in the Fort Worth area during rush hour. But, we arrived at our son's house in time for dinner. Our daughter-in-law (Janet) always takes such good care of us. Of course, we had a good time with the three grandsons, the main reason...
