Fried This and That
This past weekend Matt, Dean and I have another set of special visitors. My parents came to visit and see Mr. Dean for a few days. They arrived Saturday morning. After a few hours of quiet time we set out for lunch and the State Fair! Matt and I planned lunch with the Cherry family. Granny Glenda and Paw Paw Bill have become a huge part of our Ft. Worth life and we were eager to have our parents spend some time with people so special to us. After lunch we set out for one of the most famous fairs in the nation – the Texas State Fair! Our afternoon was filled with the smells of yummy friend goodness – corn dogs, funnel cakes, fried butter…., the sounds of midway games and happy people and the sights of Big Tex, and new Camaros. After several hours of fair fun we headed home from the cold to enjoy warm bowls of chili.
My parents headed back to Houston on Sunday afternoon after a nice, relaxing morning. Their visit was way too short but such a treat. We look forward to the next time they make the drive north.
