Saturday's Surprise

Last Friday night, we were at our fish fry, and my phone started ringing in my purse. That hardly EVER happens, as I don't use my cell phone alot on which just to "chat." Anyway, I answered it and low and behold, it was Laura asking if she and Dan could meet us for lunch on Saturday!! We were all over that, so we gladly accepted the invitation. They brought several foreign students to Six Flags that day, dropped them off, and we met them on University Drive at Blue Mesa Grill. We had a great visit. Dan surprised Stewart with a "Ticket to Ride" game, as they guys had played that on our Thanksgiving trip to Hot Springs Village. Since that time, Stewart made his own "Ticket to Ride" game and Dan was impressed with his ingenuity in producing it. So, Dan thought Stewart deserved a "real" one!! Tom and he played it on Sunday night after our Bible Study while I did all my "night jobs"...lunch, coffee-making, medications for Stewart and me, etc. I am anxious to get to play as well when I have a little more time. THANK YOU, DAN!! After we ate, we parted with Dan and Laura. They had things to do and the 3 of us just hung out for a while at the shopping center there with Blue Mesa.

Last Thursday, we had new double-paned windows installed!! They dress up our house on the outside, and we are banking on them cutting our electric bill on the inside!! We can already tell that they are making a difference. The old storm windows were leaking air, and it has been pretty "drafty" in the McGregors' home. My mom stayed in our computer room while recuperating from her broken hip, and she stayed cold much of the time. We piled blankets on her, and she would finally get warm. Anyway, we think the windows give us a great new look, and we are thinking of adding some shutters just for cosmetic appearance in the future!!

As for my mom, she is doing very well. Easter Sunday was her 80th birthday. All of Robby's family and ours accompanied Mama to church at Richland Hills and then took her to lunch at a great buffet called Vance Godbey's out on Jacksboro Hwy. She loved it and told us that she felt very honored on her day. Oh, did I mention that she has a new GREAT Grandson??? His name is Joel Thelton Sullivan and belongs to Travis (Robby's son) and wife, Kristen!! He's a real CUTIE...looke alot like Travis and "Big Dad" (Robby). By the way, Mama called today and told me that she cleaned out her garage WITHOUT her cane today!! Thankfully, she WAS wearing her Med-Alert bracelet in case she had an accident while working out there!! Way to go, Mama...Who would have "thunk" that you just got over partial hip replacement??? GOD IS GOOD to take such good care of her!!!

Springtime

I love the springtime! Our backyard and garden room has been blooming today with beautiful hibiscuses, geraniums, and daffodils. I have been getting pictures of them with my new camera. We are going to a fish fry tonight, and I'm excited. My dad and I love fish. My mom, on the other hand, isn't as crazy about fish. She will be eating hushpuppies, fries, and cole slaw tonight.

2008 Election

We are conservative Republicans, and we want to know who you are supporting currently in our election. In the primaries, we supported Mike Huckabee mostly for his moral stance. But sadly, Huckabee didn't make it, so we now support McCain. Please feel free to vote in our polls that we have provided. The first one is for who you supported in the primaries, and the other one is the person that you will be supporting for the general election in November. Thanks and have a great day!
