Texas

I've been pretty slow on the take, but here - finally, are some of my pictures from when I went to Texas for Grandmama's funeral a few weeks ago. One of the best things about going back was being able to see everyone... when it comes to family, it doesn't matter how long it's been, once you are near each other it seems like you were never apart. My highlights:

*Seeing family... visiting, remembering, crying and laughing together.

*Getting lost in 'the bad part of town' in the middle of the night (twice - in 2 different towns!), and more importantly, finding our way to where we were going. I'll never forget the conversation with my Aunt Mary, "Was that what I think it was?".... "Yep, drive faster!"... and calling my sister who was in the car behind us, who said to me, "Was that what I think it was?"

*The wichita mountains... every second of our day trip.

*Buffalo and long horns so close I could have reached out the window and touched them - but their look said, "nuh-uh, lady".

*Prairie dogs that I thought were awesome, but wouldn't let me near.

*That flat-lands sunset... oh, it's beautiful!

*Visiting the cemetary, remembering my Aunt Jan, and one of my greatest heroes, my Grandpapa; saying good-bye to Grandmama, and knowing that I'll see them all again.
