Visiting my family in Haskell.

On our trip out to Texas, we were able to see my mom and grandmother, aunt and uncle and cousins. We spent about five days there, just in time for Mother's Day and my sister's birthday on Sunday the 8th. Erin and her girls, Jolie and Riley, drove out from Las Cruces, NM and were able to meet us there in Haskell for our visit. It was nice to see our kids playing together. Mom was off work so we had lots of time to just relax around the house, enjoy several great meals both at home and at a couple places in town. We also were able to get the car's air conditioner fixed at a garage just around the corner from Mom's house....what a relief for the drive back home!

We needed to visit Grandpa Raymond's grave to replace the wind-worn USA flag and pay our respects.

A photo of Great-Grandma Pauline...(Molly took this one!)



Mom in the kitchen looking surprised. Another photo that Molly took when she grabbed my camera...note the low angle.


We went to the Pit & Grill in Haskell for lunch one afternoon and I could not resist taking a photo of this most awesome sign.

Holding a little teapot.


Pouring some tea...some "Constant Comment" tea.


Afternoon nap on the couch.


Saying goodbye to Grandma Pam and Great-Grandma Pauline was sad. We'll miss them.
