Gone to Texas

[trof]

Going to Miz t.'s (partial) family reunion at her sister's ranch/farm in Weimar (look it up) Texas this week end.
Forecast is for 101 degrees.


I believe barbecue will be involved.

4. Probably not smack dab in the middle of Texas.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

6. I thought Weimar was on the gulf coast. oops. Sorry. oh well.

[trof]

8. It's about half way between Houston and San Antonio.

And in the middle of nowhere.
And Miz t.'s family is almost all way right wing.
Gonna be a fun week end.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

10. That is a pretty long drive for you, no?

Enjoy the barbecue and talk football Good luck

11. About 8 hours to Houston. It's complicated.

Another hour and a half to Weimar.

We leave here Thursday and spend the night at a motel near Hobby airport.
Daughter and family arrive at Hobby Friday noon.
We pick them up and take them to where they've rented a motor home for the week end.
Then we caravan to Schulenburg, which has the closest decent motel to Weimar (for Miz t. and me).
Then to the ranch where they have plug ins etc. for the motor home.

Somehow, all of our family vacations seem to get complicated.

13. Schulenburg? Oh, my my

After exiting I-10, and checking in at the motel, head south on 77 (N. Kessler Ave.) to the intersection of College St. On the NW corner of that intersection is the Kountry Bakery. Their strudel is to die for!

Her parents are right wing as well personally I try to hide and eat BBQ and avoid the politics

3. Have a great time!

MMMMMMMMM Barbecue!

[trof]

5. There are more rattlesnakes and feral hogs than people in Weimar.

And that's a fact.
You could look it up.

7. Take some with you when you leave

15. 'Zat what they'll be Q'in?

Here, ~60 miles NE of San Francisco, we ate freshly caught BBQ'd rattler, campfire wok'd prairie oysters, deep fried wild turkey, fire pit baked potatoes, and other special vittles provided at his family's ranch potluck by our veterinarian, his friends, and patients' people.

The cattle roamed around near their pond as we dined between the dung, feasted near the feces, and mangé'd among the manure.

14. As Davey Crockett said,"You may all go to hell. I'm going to Texas."

I hope things work out better for you there than they did for him.

Just stay out of the Alamo and you should be fine.
