Abilene Adventures

Last weekend we attended Jordan and Ashley's county livestock show. They are both involved in the Big Brothers program and their little's family had two pigs in the show. We got up early on Friday in order to be there on time. Of course, most of your time at stock shows is spent waiting. But, the pigs did well (one made the premium sale!!) and M did a great job showing. Thanks Ashley and Jordan for putting us up for the weekend. We had a good visit and enjoyed getting to see Morgan. We think she likes pigs pretty well, too. She'll probably need one some day!!


We tried out a couple of eating places (new to us), Rosa's and Joe Allen's. Both were very good and we enjoyed getting to spend time with Jordan and Ashley and being in Abilene. Next stop for the pig will be San Antonio in February. It will be a good experience, no matter what the outcome.

Congratulations to Jordan!! He is now a licensed irrigator with the state of Texas and is also a certified commercial pesticide applicator. Way to go!!

We left in the afternoon Saturday and visited Danny's mother in Munday and went to church with her on Sunday. We enjoyed lunch with her and Danny's sister Dayle before heading home.

Hey..It was great to see you all this wknd. I did make a post on your colorado getaway but our computer quit on me when it was time to post it. I love the pictures from both of your last posts. It's good to see ya'll have learned to have someone else take pictures of you together. You use to always come back with individual pictures, I like to see the pictures of you together. Glad you enjoyed your anniversary getaway. Love you. See you again soon.
