Dallas Weekend


This last weekend we went to the Pate Swap meet. What's that you ask. It's a huge car swap meet. Dale has been saying how wonderful and big it is for years now. So a lot of the car club people go to work it and we just went to enjoy it. I guess enjoy is the work. It's at the Texas Motor Speedway back lot. Up by the building there was probably about 200 cars for sale. Nice cars all years and types. Yes we found one we liked but no Dale wouldn't let go of the money for it. But he did buy some new glass for the Chevelle. So now we're to get it painted, put new glass in and a new front bumper. It will look great once all this is done. But as we know Dale gets in no hurry to get it done so could be a couple of years you just never know. There were cars there like mine that I had to look at and compare to mine they were lots of money and needed lots of work. Anyway the swap meet part of the deal was on the other side of the road from the building. It was huge row after row of precious junk that was to come someone else's percious junk. I've never in my life seen so much JUNK! Car parts, doors, hats, shirts, trailers, bird houses, cars, trucks, motor homes it just goes on and on. I walked until I couldn't walk anymore.

Now of course the best part of the weekend was getting to see Chantel, Thomas and of course Ms. Lilly. She was so funny and had changed so much in a month. Not much longer and she'll be sitting up on her own. I hated to see them leave that afternoon but it was so much fun getting to see them even if it was just for a little while. She was smiling and cooing at me. Of course she loved her mom and dad the best. And I think they liked her a little.

Andrea had her sorority party over the weekend and the pictures she sent were just amazing. She's gotten so beautiful. Her hair was up and looked so nice and the dress was just a killer. College for the year is winding down and she'll be home on her birthday. She'll be 19. Now that's very hard to believe. Just seems like yesterday I had her and she had no hair. Now look at her. So Beautiful.
