My Last TX Trip Oct 2-7 2015

     It has been over 30 years since I have seen my friend Millie.   I have been looking for her for some time now.  Millie was and IS 5 years older than me.  She was my church camp counselor when I was a kid.  We both went to the same church and her Mother was my Sunday school teacher...Oooo how I LOVED that woman!  A treasure indeed!  When I got old enough to drive, I would go over there and hang out.  Her mom would fix me special treats and they just loved on this goofy kid...something I will never forget.  Her parents are since gone from this world, but Millie has remained, with husband and many grandkids to chase after.  I found her in Arlington, TX and decided we needed to meet face to face.  Women of Faith came to Dallas, so I arranged a meeting for us to go, along with my sister, Glenda, and the three of us had so much fun. We got a hotel room and giggled through the night and had ourselves a swell time!  Here is us at the WOF event...you can see we got in the nose bleed section...but it was all good!

     I am also going to include a picture of ME in her wedding...I will let you try to figure out which one I was....Millie said she tried to pick bridesmaid dresses that we would wear again....Remind you now, I was 20 years old in this picture, and it was 1974.  This makes me laugh so hard at what was stylish, or at least we thought it was, back then!

     From there I made my way to Whitney, TX where I visited with my folks and went to the Whitney Church of Christ, where this picture was taken.  This church is a sweet slice of America....these sweet brethren love on my parents and vice versa...

    

Mother loves the Dollar Store and Hobby Lobby...

And I LOVE a good Texas burger!

During our long shopping day, Mother's feet were killing her, so we went to a store that said HAPPY FEET, in hopes of finding her some comfortable shoes....only to find it was a place that massaged feet...which was exactly what Mother needed at the time....so Glenda and I set her up for a 30 minute foot massage right there and then....It did the trick....

Glenda is quite the seamstress.  She has been working on a Texas quilt for me for the last 4 years, and it is finally done.  I got to bring it home.  If you ever come over, you MUST see this thing.  It is a work of art!

Before I came home, we relaxed in Glenda's back yard.  It is quite calming with koi fish and a waterfall....ahhhh.....Loved it all!
