Only in Texas

I'm back in Texas for the holidays - a few highlights so far:
  • Leaving on a flight 12 hours later and getting a $500 travel voucher from American Airlines - the joys of being flexible
  • Boy and goat in the bed of a truck on a highway on Christmas eve
  • Drive through beer/liquor barns
  • My dad's Christmas gift to my mom: a 22 (rifle)
  • Shiner - my parents went to Shiner, TX earlier this year (where Shiner, my fav beer, is brewed) and got gifts for everyone - t-shirts, hats, visors
  • Mexican food for 2 meals so far - delicious
  • Brisket - my dad made 20lbs of brisket - LOVE this
  • Geckos in the house - my parents love geckos - the other night they saw one by a potted plant outside, grabbed the little gecko and brought him INSIDE so he wouldn't freeze overnight - who does that?! (this is their normal house out in Fort Worth, not the ranch)
  • Plus seeing some of my wonderful friends (and Neighbor) in Dallas - I really have missed these guys
If anyone ever gets me a rifle for Christmas...wow, I don't even know how I would react.

And here's some of that brisket:

















More to come as my trip continues for another week!
