We Made It Back

The trip to Wills Point went off without a hitch. We met the kinds at Brookshires and put together a menu for the two days we would be there. We stated out with a taco salad for Friday night and pancakes and bacon for Saturday morning breakfast. For Saturday lunch we went for hot dogs and chili...not canned chili...Frank made some of his special chili, which by the way, I will be getting the receipt.





All the food turned out great and we did buy ice cream and brownie mix. My little buddy helped his Maw make the brownies. He might turn into a great chef...which would be nice...he can fix me some good stuff when I get too old to fix it for myself. LOL

We always have so much fun with the kids and the g-kids. There is never a dull moment around their house. We do silly stuff and they enjoy Maw and Poppa being young at heart. I have some pictures of some of the shenanigans we pulled while there.


Jenny is studying for her police academy exam. I can't believe how much law they have to cram into 8 months at the academy. They have to know as much as some lawyers do in a much shorter period of time. She seems to be enjoying it. She does have a leg up on most of the other cadets there because she helped Frank get through when he was attending. She helped him study and she learned a lot while doing so. She has a long row to hoe but I know she will come out on top.

I wanted to be a law officer when I got out of college. Several of my friends went into that field and I was wanting to join them, however I was drafted soon after I got out of college and that put a hold on my idea. Well after I was injured overseas I was unable to join the police force and I fell back on my Graphic arts for a living... Anyway my daughter is fulfilling my dream...not that I pushed her at all. Frank being in that field got her started and her helping him study sparked her interest even more. Well I will feel safe living out there with them....they'll both be packing law officers LOL.

I guess I better wrap this up for now...Sherri and I are heading out to get some supplies for this week that we will spend Somewhere in Time.















Some toe painting was going on as usual with all these girls
















Jennifer and her Penal Code....she has to learn all this ???














She has her utility belt as I call it...oh Dad it's not a utility belt. She is now packing!















My little buddy and his Maw are fixing the brownies....Does she like him???
