Annual Trek to El Paso

Yesterday (Friday, 6 February) Judy and I packed up for our yearly trip to El Paso in celebration of grandson Zach's birthday. This would be our 16th trip for this occasion. Usually, February weather in this part of the world is miserable, but au contraire, it was a record day, temps were in the high 70's, windy and warm.

Actually, we normally do this around mid-February, Zach's birthday is Valentines Day, but he was competing in Mock Trial, and this weekend will crown the regional winners, and determine who goes to the State meet in Dallas in early March. Well, as usual, Zach's team was OUTSTANDING, and the kids won hands down in their two mock trials. Today will wind up the competition and Zach had to leave the house at 6:45 for a 7:15 meeting with the teams and sponsors.

February is a "good" month for us, our first child was born in February (12th) and we got our first grandchild in February. Hint----Kari was born on the 12th of February 1964, so that makes her 45!

More on this later, gotta prepare breakfast for Judy and the rest of the family.
