Sad sad news

Fort Worth Stockyards - Lisa & Gaye

Today we lost our dear friend Gaye. Someone I always called Aunty Gaye; she felt like she was Family to me and I'm heartbroken. We knew she was getting older (she was 91), and she had not been well of late, but we were really hoping that she was going to be around when we got there. We always had lots to talk about, and had lots of laughs. It's going to be hard going to her house and she not being there. A sad day.

A change of heart

I had a bright idea. I know, it doesn't happen very often. I don't drink on plane journey's so it was nothing to do with having a drink, but I thought it would be better to stop overnight at the airport in Houston, rather than travelling on a long flight; waiting ages for bags; then picking up a car, driving to a strange city on strange roads in the dark. Ok, I'm nervous, I'll admit it.

So we have changed our bookings and are now going to be staying overnight at the airport, and then picking up the car in the morning and driving to the Gulf coast. Then we'll be fresh and be able to see where we're going!
