No More Road Trips

Comadrita, how nice to see you online and posting. I've missed you and especially missed the late night chats we used to have. Hope all is well with you and your family in your neck of the woods. These woods here keep dwindling in the name of progress.

I will research your suggestion. Thank you. His birthday is coming up in May so I have enough time to search.

The series of DVD's goes from The Big Bang to The Cosmic Calendar and talks about dinosaurs and such, too. There was also a BBC series called something like: Walking with Dinosaurs that was WAAAAAY cool, because it would have this guy talking about different types of dinos and they had great FX so it looked like he was really with the dinosaurs! Very cool!

Went to Dallas a couple of weekends ago and I realized how much I miss it. Zun if you ever go to Frisco stop by Blue Mesa for lunch or dinner. They still have the same great food. I love their Yam chips.

I really wanted to stop by the Spring Creek BarBQ but, I couldn't fit more food. It leaves Bill Millers in the dust.

We went to McKinney and checked out their museum. I can't believe all the time we lived close to the area and never checked it out. It was fun. They have a trail for walking but, 5 feet into the walk and we got attacked by mosquitos so we didn't finish the trail. I guess you can say we didn't start.

Just got back from EP. It was a nice weather, cloudy and cool days. It rain a little last night. I can say, Stock dale restaurant had improve allot. Maybe somebody is reading our comments. A lady got a trade and several plates and was getting mom food while my sis wheel her around so she could choose what she wanted. She kept coming and refilling our ice tea. Guess what she was speaking English. I can give them the Blue Plate. Thank Stock dale for good service. And thanks to the young man that brought the rib's when they were done.
I look at all the damage the flood did. Well four houses that I know of had sewage damage. They had to heat up the water and take a bath with a bucket. Mom's house has major problems cus her floors are cement and the sewage run underneath the house. They have to put a new line and rerouted. I saw allot of erosion on some of the back yards around 2ft and some areas up to 4ft. The arroyo lost some of the walls, and some of the stones they had put with cement. In other words the city have to redo some parts. The flood dump a lot of stones and big rocks at my sis yard. She found a fossil. It looks like a toe with a big nail 4 inches long with the skin pull over. In the middle you can see the bone structure. I had to belong to a big animal. But we don't know any animal that would gave something like that. The fossil is already has turn into rock or stone. Its not like a regular stone in the middle you can the the bone, like when you cut a bone in half you see, the bone inside of the bone. What I saw way on the corner, somebody build a nice two story house. They build it a little higher. But I was wondering who in the world will build a nice house in the middle of the flooding area. The water is very strong. One day a strong flood is going to sit the house down and if that house is move by the water, its going to take the other houses next to it. Oh, well...Im sure they have to pay pretty cent on flood insurance. All in all I had a good time, didn't get to see Evie.

You are just a hop to EP. U don't even get to face traffic. I saw the news that you are all having a big wingding this week-end, BBQ,Car Show, and some country music. I like to the the Car Shows, and country music. But driving way over there, is almost driving to EP. Are you going to bring your son to see the dinosaur's (might be misspell) if you do, there is a Mexican restaurant Los Arcos, it owner is a person from EP, its in there. Are try the spaghetti ware house, on the other side of the railroad it nice in there. The food is ok.

We had a pretty busy weekend. We went to the homecoming game. We missed the parade cause we were just too tired. We then went to celebrate my neighbor's party at Incredible pizza. After that we came back to town straight to the concert. Texmaniacs played and then Gabe Garcia finished the night. We all had bad allergies to the weather so we were just trying to hang on. It was fun but, I wish we were all feeling better. I saw the car show in town but, we were more excited to hang out at the fundraiser. I heard that BBQ place did great in some competition.
