She used to look like this

Today we were driving toward Buffalo Gap and Lucy yelled,"Look mom. There's mountains." I knew that we had been in Texas too long if she thought that the plateaus in the distance were mountains. These are similar to Table Rock near Medford, OR. Then I started thinking about how we have almost been here 2 years. She has spent most of her life here. That's a strange thought. Here's what she looked like two years ago. It's hard to remember. I am so glad for pictures.


Here's my baby now.

My dad was the happiest man alive on April Fools Day. My parents are watching the show "Dallas" as I am writing this post. They DVR it twice a day on SoapNet. My dad's dreams came true when he was able to walk on the ranch where they filmed the show. We walked along the pool that Kristen fell into, the lounge chairs that Sue Ellen laid out in, the balcony that JR watched and plotted from.

This is the table that the family gathered around to eat breakfast. Many people have stormed away from that table. But my family sat proudly, my dad in Jock's chair.

Most of you probably have no idea what I am talking about. If that's the case you must rent this show on DVD. It's a classic. JR is really the best villian of all time. Plus the movie is coming out either this year or next with John Travolta playing JR. So it wouldn't hurt to get the real version under your belt first.
