Weekend in Electra

Small town America is alive and well. We went to Electra, TX Saturday to visit Jack and his family, and had a great time. Sunshine had to take Harley shopping in Witchita Falls for a dress and shoes for her entry in the school carnival Princess pageant, so she volunteered to take us and leave us at Jack's. Haley and Harley's friend Amber went with us also.

Didn't start out well though, just across the river and maybe 3 miles into Texas we had a flat tire. Harold and Sunshine changed it, and we made the rest of the trip on the "donut" tire.

Electra was having their annual town-wide yard sales event, so we went to several and found a few bargains. D'Anna got the most of them, 2 new babies, a stroller for them, a story telling bear, and several clothing items including pj's, house slippers and some other things to wear.

Sandy fixed us a delicious lunch of bbq brisket, potato salad and a vegetable, and we had birthday cake for dessert. D'Anna will be 3 on the 9th, which is also Harold's birthday, and he will be waaaaay more than 3. (smile) Jack made Sandy cry at the end of the meal when he proposed to her. She did say yes midst the tears. They have been together almost 3 years, so since they plan to stay that way it is time.

This is Jack, Sandy, and D'Anna on their front porch.

When Sunshine and the girls got back they showed off the new things. Harley tried on 18 dresses, and then bought the first one she tried. They went to several shoe stores and between them Haley and Harley tried on more than 3 dozen pairs of shoes. They came home with a pair of sandals each, with lots of sparklies and 4 inch heels. Ouch. Glad I don't have to walk in those!

We had a good time and met some nice people so it was a successful trip.

Grandma in the yellow house was happy to see family and even happier to be back home..............
