A tour of the USS Lexington




We began our day at the USS Lexington (www.usslexington.com) which was very impressive. We met several WWII vets, serving as volunteers on this floating museum which was a real treat for us.

Fun Baseball Game Tonight!






We had a very enjoyable drive today. We departed McCamey, Texas. Our first stop was in Kerrville, Texas, where we saw this pickup truck with elk antlers attached to it... or at least we think they were elk antlers. Another stop was in San Diego, Texas. Our first stop in Corpus Christi was to the Whataburger Field. We saw the Corpus Christi "Hooks" play the Arkansas "Travellers." Unfortunately the "Hooks" lost, 3-2. Still...there was a lovely breeze coming in from the Gulf. It was a good day! Thanks be to God!!!

It's a Cowboy Breakfast!






We went to McCamey's Sante Fe Park for the annual "Cowboy Breakfast" which is sponsored by the Upton County Historical Commission. Last year's event was held in Rankin and so we were happy not to need to drive out of town.
There were plenty of First UMC - McCamey members in attendance this morning joining nearly 60 other hungry cowboys and cowboy wanna-bees!

Busy day in McCamey



Charles' sister, Sandy Boda (lives in Georgia) e-mailed this picture to Charles yesterday. She said she's seen this look several times over the years!

Birds and blooms





Hope you blooming and growing where you are! We are enjoying a "cool" spell here in west Texas - cool being a relative term, the high today was only about 95F!
