The Kitchen Table

Texas Tour Waco (3 pictures)

17 years ago

After leaving Ruthie's we headed to Austin to have lunch with Gardenspice. We had a wonderful time visiting but it was too short since she had to go back to work.

Leaving Austin we drove a couple of hours to Waco to visit with Jaybird and spend the night at her home. We went out to dinner and a tour of the town. We got to see some beautiful old homes and also the Brazos River. We visited and had lots of laughs then headed to use the computers after Jaybird and Charlie went to bed.

Jaybird had had catarac (sp) surgery the day before we arrived so she wasn't going to work on the morning we left. She had a delicious breakfast casserole, coffee and juice waiting for us. We admired her birds at the feeders outside the window next to where we were eating. Too soon it was time to head out for Tyler.

Thank you so much Jaybird for your hospitality and tell Charlie we will come back another time to ride bikes with him.

Nita, MaryAnn, Jaybird, Jaybird's husband, Charlie.

I saw the photos of this masterpiece the first time around but was thrilled to sit through a more extensive tour - even if I had to remove my boots. Ha! newdawn, when we bought our house, the heating/lights/water bill here was more than our old house's mortgage! igloochick, you will have to put in intercoms for DS and any future ice cubes... My kids were young when we moved into our house and they would loose me. My house isn't nearly as big as your will be. We painted our house for $17,000. You have one lifetime project ahead of you.

Hey Jaybird! Hope you are doing well. I just might see you some day. You are only 87 miles from me.

How enjoyable to see your pictures: it's great to add a face to the name.

It's a special pleasure to see Jaybird's picture, as I sent her some stuff for her crafts, a few years ago.

It seems to me that an aircraft was built in Waco years ago ... was it Piper? Beechcraft?

Safe journey through the rest of your travels.

I am FINALLY back to the computer...it's a bit hazy, but I'm here. We had such a good time with Nita and MaryAnn...I enjoyed every moment!
Gayle, I'll hold you to that!!!!! We love having company!
Sable_ca, you need to come back for a reunion don't you???
Joyful Guy, I hope you get to Texas on one of your trips. I just hung up a cross yesterday, that had one of your pretty blue hangers on the back of it :^)
Hi Marilyn, wish you could have come up with them, but I understand that you have lots of babies to tend to...I'm off right now to look for pictures!
Hugs to you all!
