On the Train!

If you haven't taken the train to Ft. Worth...it is very fun! Dano and I went with the Boy Scouts yesterday. Spent a short 3 hours in Stockyards City. Ate a great burger (what else), looked at cowboy hats and boots--didn't come home with any. The boys loved the train, especially the snack car. Great day! 

Headed South!

Daniel rode "Pecos Bill"...well, he sat on Pecos Bill!! 

Oh Joy...!

Somehow, don't ask me...the MP3 player managed to survive a good washing. I propped it up and turned the blow dryer on it for about an hour on cool. It dried out and charged and Patterson took it with him to camp. I haven't seen it since he's been home so let's all hope to heaven that it isn't in another pocket!!
Elizabeth and I had a great fun girl's night, dinner and rented a movie (a very strange movie) on Friday. Saturday we made cookies, visited with Pete-o-Pie and drove to Weatherford to take pictures of the windmills! Very fun.
Daniel survived his OA initiation....consisting of spending a "night in the woods by himself" and being "starved" (half a banana, a small box of dry cereal, half a hotdog and half a cookie for all of Saturday) and worked to death clearing brush and cleaning campsites. I am very proud that he was brave enough to do all that...not sure I would like to spend the night outside under the stars.
His dog bite is better, still ugly bruises but the wounds are filling in somewhat. He will live.
Tonight we are going to the Hornet's basketball game. We are seeing someone wonderful, but I wouldn't remember his name of course. They are playing Cleveland if that gives anyone a clue. I'm all for the cotton candy and a snowcone.

In other news...

Yes, so I found Patterson's lost MP3 player...that is the good news...well, not really. I found it in the washer when I unloaded it just now...probably dead. I'll let it dry out and try to turn it on, but I don't feel like there's much hope here. Wonder if somehow this will be my fault since I was doing the laundry....probably.
