Texas Fishing Trip

Dave and I went on a trip to Houston. He went to fish and I went to visit.

We started off going to Bennett Springs. Dave did some fishing. The tempature was cold, wet, and windy. I opted to stay at the trailer and rest. He did catch several fish is the short time he stayed out there.

On Tuesday morning we packed and headed for Houston. We arrived in time to meet Sandy for supper and then off to Matt and Maxine to spend the night. Maxine and I visited for a bit before she needed to get to bed. She had to work in the morning. I got up and ate with her then off to stay at Sandy and Mitch's for a few days. Matt and Dave went to some lake to fish.

Mitch was out of town so it gave us time to visit before he got home. Dachser and Letti enjoyed playing with each other. I went to work with Sandy and did some shopping in the area. She works in a cute area with a lot of little shops. I also found the Goodwill, and several other discount stores. We stopped and got the pics developed of thier wedding.

On Thursday we got up and cleaned the house, went to get the pics and mail them to family. Then we got Mitch from the airport. After we dropped him off at home we went to buy plants for her flower beds. We spent the rest of the afternoon and evening planting while Mitch built and archway and grilled some steaks.It was a lot of fun.

On Thursday Dave and Matt left for Lake Fork in Dallas area. They went with a guide on Friday and Saturday. A cold front went through so the fishing was hard. They did catch some nice bass going from 1.5 - 5 pounds.

I Friday spent with Maxine scrapbooking. I enjoy the day with her and her friends. I was scrapping Montauk State Park where I camped as a kid. As I worked on a page I would tell everyone the story that went along with the page. I think everyone enjoyed the stories because they would give me items to decorate the pages along with the story, like ants and a chocolate cake. LOL!! We scrapped until 10 pm. It was a long day but it was fun. I spent the night with her.

I enjoyed breakfast with Maxine and we visited for awhile before I went back to Sandy's. Sandy's neice, Jamie, came to spend Easter with her. We all went to the Flea market. I found a couple of silver necklaces for the girls. Sandy bought a large armour for their guest bedroom. They had a birthday party to go to and I had to go to bed early because I was leaving about 2:30 am to get Dave.

I got up on Easter morning at 2am. At about 2:30 I told Sandy goodbye. I got to Dallas at 7am to pick up Dave. I no sooner got there when the sky opened up and dumped on us. We went to breakfast to give it a chance to slow down. I worked a bit the it poured some more. We drove in it all the way to Sikeston, Mo. We made it home safe and sound. But tomorrow we are getting new shoes for the van. LOL!!

Happy Easter.
Love,
Mickey
