No dizziness

Just a quick update. We went to Lake Ivie for a 4-day weekend and I made it with no dizzy spells (this was the place I had my first episode). I was very happy to be able to drive home in stead of the hospital. We had a good time with good friends and good food and beer and even caught a few fish. I don't get no better than that.

Painted bunting

We are excited to have a painted bunting visiting our feeders. They are soooo pretty and I was so surprised to see one. We had never noticed them before, but we never had feeders out before. So I thought after the ugly pics I posted of the tire I would post some pretty pictures of the painted bunting. The blue one in the middle pic is also a painted bunting (can't remember the name), but they are very rarely seen in this part of Texas so that was a bonus. Enjoy.

More excitement than we needed!

We were on our way to Mason to watch Colten's baseball game when Larry noticed that the truck kept pulling to the right. He slowed down a little (we were doing 70 at the time) and suddenly heard a loud pop and then a whole lot of flapping noise. He started to slow down as much as he could and pulled over and finally was able to stop. We were on a small shoulder with a downhill slant and a lot of tall weeds, but there was a driveway into a ranch across the road so we limped over there and this is what we found. We are so glad that we got out of that without a scratch (he was not so lucky 19 years ago).

Needless to say he is going to get new tires all the way around. I told him this sure was a miracle in disguise, because had we not driven the truck that night we would not have driven it until Friday morning and then we would have had the 5th wheel trailer attached to the truck and I am not sure how well we would have done then. As for the game, the other team never showed up. God does work in mysterious ways.
