The Heart of Texas Chapter and other Freepers from around the state gathered at the George H.W. Bush Library and Museum on Saturday, November 23rd. for a fun afternoon of viewing and eating.
We had 15 Freepers/spouses and 4 little Freepers with us. Two of our group came from Tyler and one came from Brownsville. Thank you all for taking the time to "make a weekend" of it and join us. We also met some local Freepers from right there in the Bryan/College Station area. I do not have the attendance list with me and ask that someone post any persons I may leave off. Joining us were: Basil, DrewsDad and DrewsMom with little Freeper, The Sarce, The Bat Lady, CindyDawg, Anymouse, MomofSix with two of the six, Blastus and TXBubba with little Freeper, Doomhammer and ???(can't remember handle) and three others whose handles just escape me. Someone please fill them in.
We met at the Bush Library at noon, got our tickets and saw the sights. Personally, I felt the place was very well done. Our son enjoyed the reading room set up in the Barbara Bush section. It had nice couches to sit on and lots of kids books to read. That also helped us take turns as parents reading the other displays. We saw one of the rare broadside copies of the Declaration of Independence as part of one of the special displays. I'll let others post what they found interesting.
Afterwards we went to "South of the Border" for our Tex-Mex fix. The HOT Chapter has a thing about mexican food I think! We were all able to sit together and had a good time. TheSarce shared a picture of the DC Freepers found in a book that I want to say was done by Brokaw??? I may have that totally screwed up. Again, I'm sure my fellow freepers can help me out there.
I want to apologize for not getting an after action report up sooner. We have all been so busy ever since that Saturday. If you would like to join us at a Heart of Texas (HOT) Chapter meeting we will be meeting again in January. You can contact myself or Gracey via Freepmail for more info.

Thanks for your report and pictures! I would have loved to have been there, but I had a wedding to go to! My son goes to Blinn Community College in Bryan, and I'm down that way fairly often. If y'all have another "field trip," I want to know about it. I live out by Abilene.

I am the ??? after the doomhamur. I have yet to officially introduce myself to everyone here though I have been lurking for a while. Doomhamur is my husband.

Seeing those pictures reminded me to remind my husband about the pictures we took. They are still on our camera. I'll remind him that he needs to post those.

Thank you guys so much for checking in. I didn't have the list and when I tried to ping "Doomhammer" obviously one didn't exist. Now that I have the correct spelling it will be easier in the future to ping!

Argh. I have been sick a lot and haven't kept up with my mail, so I missed meeting everyone locally.
Most recently, I visited the museum on Sept. 11. My version of a memorial. The paintings, esp. the ones by the kids, are great.
