Our weekend adventure

We had so many laughs with our friends the Keelings. I think they brought the ice and cool air here...well maybe not, it was supposed to come anyway! Okay so...onward to the airport the big scary airport that spits out those that don't know how to do the circle to get back to where you started.... yes that would be ...ME! Okay we got the friends! Next doughnuts for breakfast and relax for 1 hour and enjoy the house peace. Next to a tournament basketball game for Gretchen. They won! Next leave and go to the stockyards in Fort Worth. Brrr. Windy and cool 45. Okay that is warmer than they have had but ya know...60's please? There we walked the town and saw the herding of 13 huge longhorns. Huge! Then a gunfight! Wow-wee. Next shops to keep us warm...should we buy armadillo pellets? Nah. Listened to a band outside gave a few dollars for the entertainment. Brr...the wind is picking up where to ? Oh ..H3. Yummo!!! Great steak, ribs and salad. try it...you'll love it! Next walked the strip so more and found a longhorn to sit on. yes we did it! Well, Mary and I did. He was cute in longhorn fashion. I couldn't get my one leg to get up on the darn thing since I wore my baggy jeans---I know what a problem-well yea it is when you are trying to get up on the darn thing!!!! Anyway..fun. Then we took various pics of the longhorn and us. Then I talked Mary into getting up on him...cool! She did it. We were going to stay and listen to some country guy sing at Billy Bob's but they were getting tired and Mike's rib injury from a working ski adventure was hurting him. So we went home to a warm and cozy house. Next day...Sunday.. we went to the Gaylord Texan and walked and walked around, took various pics and decided nice place to visit. Onward we went to the Grapevine Lake...oohh boats were out and fisherman...don't know what they were fishing for but they were fishing. Nice 65 degrees and sunny day it was to do this. I thought about renting a boat and riding the lake...no one jumped at that idea! Next visited the great Wolf Lodge...nice! We went hoe to relax and catch a few winks and ping pong...ate a bit of dinner and left for the rodeo in Fort Worth. Loved it! great riders, barrel racers, funny clowns, roping of animals and other stuff--free! We got lucky and someone had 4 tickets not being used---FREE! Love it! Onward home...slept and next morning took them to the airport. BOOOOOO. Thanks guys!-- Love ya!!!
