The more than two hours of traffic that we sat in on the way home was worth every minute...
I have no idea what kind of two car accident closes all lanes of a freeway, but after two hours of mostly a dead stand-still, we finally were able to get off and find another route...thank heavens...it turns out that my husband feels about Houston traffic the way that Daddy does. Impatient doesn't suffice, but it's the word I'll stick with :)
Thankfully, on the other side of the freeway now...
I just want to know where all of this beautiful weather of today was yesterday for Popi's special day and our travels...doesn't it always work like that???
Now that Popi is lucky #70, we better begin preparing for Gracie to turn Lucky #7 next month...and only one more week of school before Spring Break!!! Fun, fun all around!
I knew you had all the old photos sis. BTW, the unidentified man in ME's wedding photo is uncle Richard. Hard to recognize cause he always had a big smile. Don't know why he was so sober for that photo.
ReplyDeleteDaddy - I do NOT have ALL the old photos! I looked high and low and these are the only ones I could find! You still have MOST of them! But, I'll take them any time you're ready! :) ... and one of us is surely losing our marbles... I just don't see that man as being Uncle Richard! Maybe one of your sisters can make the call! :) It was nice to see Uncle Tony over your shoulder though...I think he's with some of his sons and some of Aunt Irene's kids, too.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I exchanged your shirt with no problem yesterday. Still waiting on the Gracie mouse pad to arrive and I'll send everything your way then...<3 u!
