Kim Beck reports that she and Lee “took off on a crazy 2,400-mile west-to-south Texas adventure!” They went to Odessa, and then up to Carlsbad, New Mexico for a day trip and back to Midland to pick up son Jason and his girlfriend, Courtney. The group then went to Balmorhea State Park, Fort Davis and Alpine. They hit Big Bend and Lajitas on Monday, and then off to Marathon and Del Rio on Tuesday, stopping to see the Judge Roy Bean museum on the way.
“Swam in the San Felipe Springs, very refreshing,” Beck said.
On Wednesday, they were up early on the way to Fredericksburg, Luckenbach, Gruene and San Antonio. They visited with son Jackson and celebrated their daughter-in-law finishing her bar exam. Way to go, Courtney!
Janie Lewis reported some repair work is being done at the Tira Community Center. Also, she cleaned out the cabinets and “gave the cabinets by the sink a little uplift.” She’s been helping keep the pantry stocked, too. We appreciate all she and the other council members do for the community.
Chip and I took Rylan, Brailon and Slaiden to meet their Gimmee (grandmother) Tiffany and Aunt Jaidyn in New Boston on Friday afternoon. They spent the weekend with Perry, Tiffany and Jaidyn in Malvern, Arkansas. The kids went to Vacation Bible School on Saturday, and they all had a great time at the Mid-America Science Museum in Hot Springs on Sunday after church. Perry and Jaidyn brought the boys back on Monday. Tiffany was at work in her new job as a library aide at Lakeside School District.
On Saturday, Chip and I went to Waco and took our son, Delayne, out for lunch at Ninfa’s Mexican Restaurant for his birthday, which was on Aug. 1. Our grandson and granddaughter-in-law, Landon and Laiken, did some shopping on Saturday, while the boys were away on their weekend trip.
Malcolm, Kenden and Landon Joslin joined us for lunch on Sunday. Chip cooked steaks for Malcolm’s birthday. Laiken couldn’t be with us due to a prior commitment, so Landon took her meal “to go.”
