Grandsons Steven and Brendan joined Ted and myself as we drove to Amarillo on Wednesday. We picked Brendan up at the Houston airport and began our adventure stopping in Huntsville, Texas, to spend the first night. Swam for a while in the motel pool, ate a good meal, and hit the road again on Thursday, arriving here around 6 p.m.
We are having great fun and it is wonderful to see things through the eyes of the children. Have been touring the local spots, including a trip or two down the old Route 66, which runs through Amarillo. The old shops and storefronts are interesting and harbor many vintage items from the past. Everything is so "flat" here compared to Georgia and even our area of Texas.
We are heading to the Palo Duro Canyon for our big experience there on Monday, July 7. Will post new pictures from that leg of the trip.
Today we toured a great Mexican tortilla factory, saw the workers busily making the product, and ate some wonderful food. Have also taken the boys to enroll at the local city library, which is very good in this city, and checked out books and movies and signed them up for the summer programs there. Each is sporting a brand new library card of his own. We have played the Wi game and bowling is our favorite. The boys are into a heated checker game now and we play Rummy and other board games. Both boys are very good at Scrabble and we've been shopping, too. Can everyone with teens or pre-teens say "GameStop?"
Went to a wonderful smaller church in the neighborhood on Sunday, which we all enjoyed. And, we've visited with Ted's son, daughter in law and grandchildren, David and Rebecca.
Until the next page turns,
Brenda
