It is with great humor that I read your trials and tribulations of traveling to Fort Worth. Now you know Pat, but you have no knowledge of the effort it takes for this household to make any trip. I have been guilty of stating many times that I have moved a large detachment of men to various distant destinations with less effort than that required to load up Patricia with all her necessities for a overnight stay. This entails various shoe bags, hanging garment bags, suitcases, dog bowls, dog food and last but not lest her current canine babies. Now you know why we own a pickup truck with a covered bed. Wow.
As to Fort Worth; Ah in my youth (so many years ago) we would ship cattle to Fort Worth to be left in the good hands of the Cassity Commission Co. for sale. Then it was off to the Stockyards Hotel to clean up, which was at that time not so pricey as today. Then down around the corner to the Cattlemans Steak House for nourishment. Now situated on the corner of N Main and Exchange in this Cowtown complex was M.L. Leddy's western Store which was always good for needed necessities and conversation with old acquaintances like Jim Franklin. Jim and dad were always swapping horses.
As you travel, please always know that our love and prayers always go with you.
You forgot to mention your 46 foot RV loaded to the gills to make a comfortable home away from home. Worse yet Pat behind the wheel cruising along at a respectable Texas speed to El Paso of 85 mph, only in the construction zone of the New Jersey turnpike!
The word "incorporate" came to mind as I finished reading this blog. To incorporate in the world of baking means to blend, mix, merge, fold into, and assimilate in order to create a smooth consistency for the desired outcome. It's delightful for one blog to incorporate so much goodness! Nostalgia, peppered throughout, joy in family togetherness and shared journeys, history trivia that brings new knowledge and increased appreciation, and poetry to incite longing for dreamed-of-destinations-- all blended together with the secret ingredient of a writer's heart that "knows". The blog is baked in the reader's heart through their own experiential lens into a delectable homemade fruit pie!
“Bordello blue”!
Perfect for any home...😊
