Thursday, the Lord willing, Ann and I head West. Our first stop will be Midlothian to see a couple of ball games and visit with the Dupries. Saturday we go on to Dallas to "house sit" for Charlie and Jeanne Warren. They are leaving for a two-week trip to Europe. Our plans are to return to Rockport September 18.
We have never "house sat" before. This is a large house in North Dallas. While there we can see our son, Lee and his family. There are other friends of many years in that area. We can also visit places of the rich and famous; places where they spend their money!
I will send some BLOGS through Charles Fake to update you on life in the big city. I have never lived in Dallas. Visits there have been brief. This will be a good long look at urban life. My duty will be to bring in the mail and paper and water some plants the sprinkler system misses. A maid will come a couple of times a week to do maidly chores. I think I might like this job.
Ray Pressley will help keep things alive at our house in Rockport. Hopefully he will be supplemented by predicted rains. If a storm comes we would be leaving anyway. Boards are prepare for the windows. Some saint will need to attach them.
So Dale and Ann's next Great Adventure looms out in front. Pray for us for safety in travel. I hate big city traffic. Hate it! A little lady will be riding with us in a box telling us where to go. Her favorite word is "recalculate". Whatever that means.
