Looking forward to a great trip and seeing old friends again and meeting lots of new ones!
Had a great time in Austin meeting with the Heart of Texas Chapter. Now getting ready to depart for Houston. Have also made reservations at the Menger Hotel in San Antonio for Saturday night through Monday nights. Hope to stay in Las Cruces Tuesday night and have lunch there on Wednesday and then it's off for Phoenix.
Howdy everyone. We had a fantastic visit with the Houston Area Texans yesterday. We're now in San Antonio at the Menger Hotel. Hope to meet the Texas Termite this afternoon and will be open to meeting with San Antonio FReepers today or tomorrow. Will be departing for Las Cruces Tuesday morning. We're having a great time in Texas!
Y'all are going to need a vacation when you get back. LOL!
Good morning Uncle Jim.....
We'll see you this afternoon !
At last, we will meet....
*TT*, Beth & Nana
Yeah, we're having a great time, but it will be good to get back home after three weeks on the road.
Great! See you soon.
Jim
Thanks, Jim. We had a fantastic time visiting with you.
A big bump for all the rest of the stops on the Freedom Tour!
I was really hoping to get down to the Menger today to say hello, but my Dad Prayer Request for my Dad is still in ICU, and I needed to be there. (Sighs) Guess I'll have to just remember the fun I had with you guys in San Antonio last year.
Heck yeah, thats kind of the point of the place!
We are in the United States by treaty, you know.. not annexation.
We enjoyed visiting with you, sir, and appreciate all you do.
Say hello to Mr. Termite for me if you get a chance!
We had a wonderful time visiting and dining with the Texas Termite and extended family today. Logan is a great little guy. Impossible not to fall in love with him on the spot. Logan's mom and dad and nana and Uncle TC are great people.
Dang, that Termite is getting BIG!
I bet he'll be playing football before long.
Hello Las Cruces!
We're scheduled to arrive in Las Cruces Tuesday night. Will probably arrive late. We'll be staying at the Holiday Inn and could meet for lunch or dinner at the hotel on Wednesday. Will depart for Phoenix Thursday morning. Hope to see you there.
Jim
Howdy everyone! Checking in from Las Cruces. We're at the Holiday in at I-10 and University. FReepmail or post if you'd like to meet for dinner tomorrow.
Jim
Sure hope when you get to the East you can arrange to stop by Hershey, PA. Too bad you won't be here next week, we are having the wheel chair races at Hershey Park. When/if you can get here I can get you 25% off all the candy at Chocolate World. (yes, I'll do anything to entice you to get here)
Continued Happy Trails Jim and family. Bill in Hershey
