Thursday morning, we finished packing our bags, lectured the dogs on how to behave with the dog sitter - the girl across the street during the day and my oldest son at night- and then headed out for Longview TX via Cleveland MS where we spent the night with my mother-in-law. We picked up Brian on our way through Franklin, dubbed him our official chauffeur and he obliged by driving almost the entire trip. Thanks Brian:) After a good night's sleep, we got up and went the rest of the way to Billy's house. We got there around supper time and spent Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We stayed inside a lot because of the heat, but on Sat. Billy, Granny and I went to an oil museum. It was pretty interesting. They had some short movies that showed some of the history of the oil industry in TX and how the oil is brought up out of the ground. They also had lots of memorabilia from that area and a replica of a boom town.
Granny enjoyed getting to see her TX great grands and visiting with them all for a few days.
One afternoon we talked her into trying her hand at Wii bowling. At 91 she is still very spry and did quite an impressive job.
She looks armless in the picture below - it 's my photography skills I'm sure.
We also ate at a great catfish place while we were there and had some delicious meals fixed for us by my daughter-in-law who happens to be a great cook.
Thanks for the great hospitality Stacey and Billy.
Granny had so much fun and Brian and I did too. Since Brian had to be back home Tuesday to go to work, we left Monday and made the 10 hour trip back in a day.
