30 April 2007
A Monday . . . and a Monday I could finally justify taking off from my work! My dear Kat was in town from Kenosha, and she and Laura and I went out to a decadent breakfast (okay, so it was noon—we’ll call it brunch) after I had taken Kyle to work, finished some paperwork, some phone calls and delivered his car to the tire guys. After our meal, we headed toward Fort Worth, and I gave the two northern girls my whirlwind driving tour of downtown, finally landing on the northside, in “Cowtown,” just one hour before the daily cattle drive! So, we enjoyed a bit of window shopping, and sightseeing, and took a bunch of photos of the real live cowboys and cowgirls “driving” the real honest-to-goodness Texas Longhorn cattle up Exchange Street, past the beautiful Livestock Exchange Building. I figured there simply aren’t many places in the world to witness such a thing, and no one should really visit here without experiencing that! We had fun, and in a goofy moment, the idea for this photo was born.
We had an incredibly blessed, uneventful trip to the airport, dropped off Kat, and Laura and I met Kyle and Terrill for a couple of drinks at No Frills. Donny and Mary showed up there, and we all had dinner and then came back to the house where I received the benefits of a much-needed massage.
Early in the morning, I’ll be on my way to Waxahachie again, for Kid’s Days at Scarborough. <sigh>
