We went to Llano to visit Grandpa and Nini yesterday, I can't even begin to describe what a heavenly experience this was. First, just to eat at Coopers again and have some of the best bbq on the planet! Then, we finally got the kids their own pairs of Justins (Mady red and Jon a special pair that few can wear.) Grandpa bought them hats, and Mady wouldn't take off her red boots and pink hat, we smell a future PRCA barrel racer in the family!
We went to Grandpa's ranch and played with Jake dog, it was so great to see the other member of the family! He looked great and was so happy to see us too! Grandpa and Nini had made cupcakes for Mady's birthday and we had a celebration. Then Daddy, Grandpa and the kids went to look for Chico the mule and the cows! I have't seen a grin on Mady's face like that in ages! She was in hog heaven!
We went to Nini's after that and swam in the Llano river till a storm came up. She has a beautiful place that is so peaceful. We ate dinner and listened to the rain on the tin roof.
Again, yesterday, I had a taste of heaven and it is hard to leave. But I pray that one day, God will send us home where we can carve out our own piece of heaven on earth!
God Bless!
P.S. Please be praying for my high school classmate, Cherie, as her family evacuates New Orleans again in the path of Gustav.
