Great Time in Allen, Texas!!

We left HOT (101 to 105) Jonestown, Texas on friday,
August 28th and went up to Allen, Texas to visit our oldest daughter and her family.

Friday night CJ (our daughter) and Rick (CJ's husband), took me and John out for Bar-B-Que.
Back to CJ & Ricks to visit for awhile.

Saturday, August 29th, the whole bunch came to see us.
CJ, Rick, Cotton, Candy, Chris, Sydney, Madison & Peyton
took us to a place called Sweet Tomato......It was Super Good!!
Back to CJ & Ricks home to visit with everyone. Later that evening CJ, Rick, Cotton and Angel
(Cotton's girlfriend) came out to the RV to visit with us. This was the first time we had ever
met Angel. She is very sweet and a very pretty girl. We enjoyed our visit with all of them.

Sunday after CJ & Rick got out of church.......We took them out for lunch and then John & I headed back to the RV to feed grandad.

Tonight, August 31 we are heading up to cooler ground.........Estes Park, Colorado.

This picture is of Cotton and Angel.........on the right with friends.

Madison thought I needed my picture taken also.....

so she took this picture of me......thanks for thinking

of me Mattie.

Peyton Loves His Uncle Cotton......He is

trying to push Cotton around in the chair.

There was only one A&W Root Beer

Float left so Sydney and Madison

are racing to see who can drink

the most.

Peyton in Super-Grandpa's shoes. Super-Grandpa and Super-

Grandma are what Sydney, Madison & Peyton call me and John.










This is Winston, Cotton's dog.

This is the way he gets a drink of water.

Peyton watching on.









They turn the water on and Winston gets a drink

and when he is done, they turn the water off and

he just stands there and watchs the water go down

the drain. FUNNY!! FUNNY!!

Peyton and Super-Grandpa

Another buddy of Super-Grandpa's

PE-PA and PA-PA with his wonderful grandchildren.
The girls call Rick PE-PA and Peyton calls him PA-PA.





This is Peyton spraying Winston with perfume or thinking he is.

Winston is only 2 years old and still likes to play a lot so when he

gets too wound up they spray a little perfume out in his face so he

will slow down.

Winston helping Rick and Peyton!









OH! They LOVE their brother so much!!

Candy & Cotton

Sydney trying to get Winston to do some tricks for a treat!

FUN!! FUN!! FUN!! & MORE FUN!!

What a Blessing.........We Love You!

Just For Laughs!!

Not sure how this happen....but these
two pictures were from the time we
were in Lee's Summit, Mo. for our youngest granddaughters
5th birthday. The girls came out to the RV with their mother
and she was doing some scrapbooking, so they decided to
decorate grandpa with some of her stick on's.
The funny part about this is these 2 pictures were not on my
picture chip but were just in the camera by them selves.
The only thing I can figure is that I had the chip out of the
camera to go make prints and forgot it was not in there when
I took the pictures.
Thought you would enjoy seeing Screwballgrandpa, Super- Grandpa,
Grandpa Looney and RVing Gramps all decorated up.





We will be leaving Jonestown this coming Friday, August 28th, and going
up to Allen, Texas to see and visit with our oldest daughter
and her family for 3 days before heading out to some place
cooler. We returned to Jonestown on August 15 and it has
been 100, 101, 102 & 103 every day we have been here &
TODAY 104.......Oh yes! One day was 105.


Stay with us and see if we can find somewhere in the 70's.

Back To Texas!! August 15, 2009

We are now back in Texas (Jonestown) where we park the RV
at Mary and Terry's home. (Second daughter and her husband)

These are pictures of part of Lake Travis not far from where
Mary and Terry live.
DRIED UP!!
NO WATER AT ALL IN THIS PART!!!
Boats just setting in peoples drive ways.
UNBELIEVABLE!!
This is how "BAD" Texas needs rain.

Don't think they are going to have to worry about needing a lifeguard.

After leaving Eureka Springs we went to Wichita, Ks. for doctor appointment for Donna's dad.

While back in Wichita we had dinner at Timberline with three of John's sisters and

brother-in-law for John's up coming birthday.

We took Donna's dad for his doctor appointment on

August 13th and had dinner with Almeda, Helen, Barbara and

Floyd and went over to Helen's home to visit a little while that

night. Good visit!!

Back to Texas on August 15th.

John reading a birthday card.
Soon to be 74.

We are looking for a cooler place to go next.

Won't be in Texas next August.

Beaver Lake/Eureka Springs, AR.

Yesterday we drove over to Beaver Lake.
Very pretty and big. They have a boat that
you can take a cruise of the lake on.......
called Belle of the Ozarks. We were going
to take it but didn't get there until 1:20
and it had left at 1 pm. The next one was
at 3 pm. This lake was pretty far from our
RV Park so didn't have time to wait for the
next cruise, eat and get back in time for
dad's supper.
There are lots of cottages and cabins in this area.

This is our last day in Eureka Springs, we
have enjoyed seeing this country.....it is very pretty.

We are heading back to Wichita, Ks. for a doctor appointment
for dad on August 13th and then back to Texas for a few days.

Hope you enjoyed Eureka Springs, Arkansas as much as we did.

Cabin at Beaver Lake.

This is Beaver Dam

We drove over it.
