Weekends Are Fun

Last weekend was fun with Jennifer, Emily, Heather, and Stephen. If you look at Jennifer's blog you will see lots of pictures of the fun we had. I came home with a stomach virus and a cold virus.
It was good to see Heather and Stephen doing well, Jennifer being a wonderful mother and Emily being the sweetest, cutest, smartest little girl.

Joe and I got away from the farm yesterday. The weather wasn't going to get too hot or too cold and the worker was here to pick up eggs. We went to Texarkana. The main point of the trip was to put the 4-wheeler in the shop. It has not been running for several months but since we had the Kawasaki Mule we could do without it. We knew when Tyler comes in 4 weeks he'll want to ride.




After dropping the 4-wheeler off, we went to Texas Roadhouse and had our favorite filet. Our next stop was Palm Harbor Homes. It's always fun to walk back through a triple-wide and note the size and features.

Our salesperson wanted to know where we were from. When we told him Magnolia he told us his grandfather had lived in Magnolia. He asked if we knew where Story's Well Service was and said there was a little white house beside it. And I said, "Yes, and Mr. Arthur Ash lived there." He said that was his grandfather. When I worked at the church Mr. Arthur would take the whole staff out to eat at Western Sizzlin every month or two.

Chris Chidlress grew up in Houston and then moved to Dallas a few years ago and then got a chance to leave the big city and manage the Palm Harbor in Texarkana. It was quite amazing that we would meet and have that connection.
It was a beautiful day and fun to be away from the farm for a short while.
