The Perils of Traveling Non-Revenue

We're back! Did you miss us? Well, we traveled to Big D to see Kathie's mom in the hospital. She seems to not have been eating well or enough, probably due to the pain from her cancer treatments. So, her blood sugars got messed up and they couldn't control them remotely. She is looking better already than she did when we first arrived on Saturday.

Anyway, we got to Dallas on Friday and drove in Alison's car down to Corsicana on Saturday morning. She came with us and we had a good visit with Pa and Grandma and Jim. We drove back to Arlington and had dinner with James and Ali that night. We tried to go see either Pirates or Prada, but everything at this theater was sold out. So, we watched Big Momma's House at their apartment. Our flight was Sunday at noon. Well, our *scheduled* flight. It was sold out. We waited on every flight until the last at 9pm. No deal. OK, I called to rescheduled for Monday. No deal. Everything was oversold. What about Tuesday? We got on the 6am flight! Since we were stuck in Dallas, we drove back down to Corsicana on Monday and had a nice vist with the Hagles. Please continue to pray for Kathie's mom. The family has some decisions about ongoing care to make, too.

Sorry we had no time for Walker and crew. Hopefully, we can catch y'all next time. I want to see Lindsay's tattoo, also.

I have just learned some shocking news. More photo censoring has occurred. Yup, Stumpy was excised from a photo at Rick's house. Luckily, I found the original. Take a look.

It's offical, you have to much time on your hands. But I did love the tattoo.
