It's been a good week

We made it home from Houston about 8:30 tonight. It was not a bad trip. We had spent the night in Huntsville last night and slept in. We left around 11:00 this morning but quickly stopped and ate lunch and then headed out again. Made it to Fort Worth before we stopped again. Got gas and lots of snacks and went on. Didn't make it to Wichita Falls when Guthri screams "I have to go to the restroom!" Stopped and spent more time taking a break. Then stopped in Vernon to eat dinner and did a little shopping at Beall's and Tractor Supply. Finally made it to Childress and noticed as we past the court house that we had left Lonnie's pickup parked there. One more stop! Pulled up to the house and the dog, Rojo, went wild. He has been so lonely since Zoey died and us being gone for a week just made him miserable. It was nice to have someone greet us when we got home!

Childress County did well at Houston. Three kids (including Garrett) placed ninth with their pigs and one placed 7th. Not too bad. Lonnie has been working for years to get the show program built up and things are looking better. The year has been pretty good as a whole.

Glad to be home but I will spend at least one day it not two at school getting things cleaned up and prepared for next week. I have lots of props to make for LTC before Sunday so have a busy couple of days ahead.
