Hello world. Well it's been a good 4th of July weekend! I did end up in Louisiana. Left Friday and got bqck this afternoon. Had a good visit with Cousin Coy and family. Took the two dogs with me and that proved to be a royal pain but all worked out ok. They are worse than having younguns!!

We went to the local dirt track Friday nite to watch Kris race. We left the house at 6:00p.m. and got back at 3:00 in the morning!!! I am getting too old to stay up all nite!!!! Wegot up around 8:30 a.m. and blanched purple hull peas all morning. What fun!!!

Saturday afternoon we went to Cousin Fran's and her daughter Rachel's house for a 4th party. Had great brisket and all the fixins. I was really impressed with the homemade ice cream that they had!!! After the party we watched the Nascar race on TV and I crashed about 10:00 p.m.

This morning it was back up at 5:30 a.m. so we could go to the deer woods. We have aquired about 300 more acres to hunt so we went to take a look at it. Looks real promising.

I got back this afternoon and boy were the dogs glad to be back home!!! So was I to tell the truth. Called Justin's house and found out they had spent the weekend here in waxahachie. Sure was disappointed that I missed seeing Brody and his parents!!! I have run out of space. Later, Pappy
