howdy y'all...we're having a rootin tootin good time in Texas

Wow, thanks to Emily's help, I have finally started a blog! I have been wanting to do it forever, but never had any idea how to. Hopefully, this won't be my only entry. We are excited to be on vacation! School is out and we headed to Texas to visit one of our very favorite granddaughters, Molly, (and her parents.) We drove to Albuquerque on Friday and stayed with Mike's aunt Joanne, and her husband. They were so sweet, they got up early and made us waffles with fresh strawberries from their garden, and served, McIntire wine, (grape juice that they made from their own grapes) It was very fun to get to visit with them. Sat. morning we took off early and arrived at Carlsbad Caverns at about noon. It was just a small detour, but well worth the few minutes it took to get there. We took the tour and loved it. We left there about 2:00 and were on our way to Midland. We arrived in Midland and Jamie and Emily took us to dinner at the Texas Roadhouse. It was delicious! It was so fun to see Molly, she remembered us, and was very happy to see us. She is soooooo adorable! On our way out of the restaraunt, we saw a stuffed armadillo. I showed it to Molly and told her what it was. Her favorite new word now is "ar ma dil lo." She says it so cute, and loves saying it.
