Sunday on Vacation

Well, today was another fun filled, exciting day on vacation. We went to Grandbury, Acton and Weatherford. We saw Jesse James grave (in Grandbury it is not believed that Garrett killed Jesse in 1882, he returned to Grandbury where he lived till he died, over 100 years of age). We saw the grave of Davey Crocketts wife and two of his children (in Acton). We heard a rumor (and bought a book) about John Wilkes Boothe and John St. Helen being the same person (it is assumed that he did not die in the burning tobacco shed in 1865, but came to Glen Rose and Grandbury and worked as a bartender until his death in 1876. Once again, learned a lot. In Weatherford we saw a really neat courthouse. took pictures. Oh, the most important part...I went to the Tourist Information Center in Grandbury and met Darlene McNeil, who gave me the directions and stuff about Jesse James, John Wilkes Boothe, Mrs. Davey Crockett and some stuff for my scrap book. Got her autograph, too.

VACATION

Well, this has really been interesting so far. I am on vacation in Glen Rose, TX. We came to see the tractor show and pull!!! Who said I wasn't versitile?? Anyway, it's been different. We made a few miles yesterday......Fossil Rim is where they have a drive through zoo of wild animals. Don't get out of your car, but you can feed them. We couldn't go through because Chloe (our Lhasa Apses) was with us.....Absolutely NO pets. We walked around a little (in 103 degree temp) and went through the gift shop (where I got a pen that won't write) and left. It's in the hills, neat. We went to Hico, TX and learned a lot about Billy the Kid that we didn't know. Didn't know Hico had any claim to fame with B the K, but look what a trip can do. Saw the museum and everything. It really was interesting. At lunch at the Koffee Kup on the way to Stephenville, TX (which is where they have seen all the UFO sightings). Did a little shopping in the shops, but we didn't see any UFOs. Having a great time, actually......who knew I would enjoy this kind of stuff.......ESPECIALLY in this kind of HEAT!!!!!!
