Texas Road Trip ~Days 3 & 4~

Thursday morning we woke up and Jaybird had a great breakfast casserole, coffee and juice ready for us. Her table is next to a backyard window and we enjoyed watching the many birds that visit her feeders. We had such a good time at Jaybird's and hope to get to see her again.

We had to hit the road early in order to pick up Kathy and get to Vannie's before they ate without us! When we pulled into Kathy's driveway, she was opening the garage door and ready to greet us. What a fun lady! We hugged, talked, and unloaded our stuff there. Then we all hopped into Nita's car and went to Vannie's house.

What a fun time we had there! Redfeather, Bette, & Pauline were already there. So along with Vannie and the 3 of us there were 7 total. Eva was supposed to join us there, but because of other issues she was not able to come. We sure missed her! We talked and ate and talked lots more. We also took the tour of Vannie's beautiful home and yard. Her husband came in and visited with us for awhile. Then he went out in the front yard to take pictures of us. What a nice guy! Before we knew it, it was already after 5:00 pm! I don't know where the time went.

We all hugged, and promised to meet again.

Then Nita, Kathy and I drove back to Kathy's house. We relaxed, visited and played with her cats. Kathy is so much fun and we enjoyed every minute with her. She had a great Mexican casserole and salad for dinner and we got to visit with her husband, Ernie, while we ate. He's another great guy. I'm beginning to think that KT women know how to pick the good ones! Us ladies stayed up late into the night visiting and laughing and finally called it a night. We were up early the next morning and spent a relaxing time drinking coffee, eating breakfast and talking some more. Nita and I finally had to tell Kathy goodby and be on our way to Houston.

What a drive to Houston!!!! It kept getting darker and darker and the rain came down in buckets. Thank goodness most of the other drivers on the highway were driving sensibly.

At 4:00 pm we were in Houston, driving in a downpour, and it looked like it was 9:00 pm because it was so dark. It was so good to finally get to our motel. I know Nita was exhausted from driving in such awful conditions! We unloaded our stuff, got back into the car and went to get some dinner. We are now back in the motel, relaxing and getting caught up with e-mail, etc.

We are planning a fun day tomorrow, and I will be posting about it along with pictures.
