Texas

We are currently headed back to Seattle from the DFW airport. We left right before seven am on Saturday morning. We got breakfast burritos at Q'doba in Seattle. We got in to Texas around noon, but had to wait until 3:30 to be picked up due to some miscommunication earlier. We went to TGIFriday's at DFW, and Haagen Dazs, a little later. We got to my grandma's house about an hour before dinner (or "supper" as they say in the South). For supper we had brisket, mashed potatoes, peas, corn on the cob, sweet potatoes, and salad.

I had two aunts, two uncles, two cousins, and a second cousin there. My grandma an  her husband live on a small farm with cows. One of their cats had just had kittens, and there were six of them. There were also a few younger cats who were larger than the new kittens, but smaller than the adults. And one of their cows had a calf the day before we arrived.

Sunday I had a waffle shaped like Texas, and a fried egg for breakfast. For lunch we had cheeseburgers and tater tots. For dinner we had spaghetti and salad. I had some grapes and orange juice between meals, and after dinner we ate some home made ice cream that was in the freezer. Last night there was a huge thunder storm with lightening. The cats stayed in the barn and kept dry.

This morning we had biscuits and gravy for breakfast, and chicken and dumplings with salad for lunch. Right after lunch we left for the airport. Our flight was delayed for an hour, so we ate dinner at a place in DFW called Tequilarila. I had shrimp tacos with rice and beans. We went back to Haagen Dazs after dinner.

We should be getting back to Seattle around 10:45, and will be glad to get home. Jeremy misses his cats. It has been a long three days.
