Howdy myne waltripians ! Jackie add two more to the fray, Richard and Hedy Kennedy. Just finished talking to him.
Hay Kay, bring chips and dips, those are allus handy. We're like you, although we dont use sams club, we use costco, prolly just the same.
Ok, we really dont want anyone to spend more $$$ than they would spend at goode compaqny or fudds, after all, this was my idear to throw a party on the hill. We get very few visitors up here this high in the monastery, save for the occasional visit from the YETI family, but those folk are too much party animals for us.
We are just so honored that YALL ARE GONNA COME UP ! ! ! I do hope it will be fun for yall. Bout the onliest (east texas for only) bad thing about this is I've been painting the porch ceilings. One almost 95% complete cept for cutting in. still got the back porch to paint. We're trying to do it before the party, but it needed to be done anyway. Painting it blue to keep the spiders and birds out. I really hate painting with a passion. But this party was a good excuse to get off my duff and git er done! It has been very hard to paint with the wind blowing, first from the north at 100 mph and then from the south at 100mph and then back from the north etc....
Ok, did I mention chips and dips? Also some dessert and or salads. I dont have a clue what is being brung, and how much. I know Teddy and Jimmy H are bringing the beah. Jimmie lee is bringing dessert, and barbara is bringing salad, and Frank and Wayne are bringing potato salad. I dont know how much each is bringing, enough for 42 people or what, but that's ok. If we run out of desserts, the Chappell Hill BBQ and Kolache factory is just 2 miles away, and they have kolaches, cinnimon rolls, AND PIE, LOTS AND LOTS O HOME BAKED PIE. Pricey but good.
We have the bean dept taken care of, and all the meat and BBQ sauce, plus lots O condiments. got plates and plastic civil ware. We do have some wine, and my wine is real close to Welchs grape juice. If I drink wine, which is rare, it has to be sweet, like me I suppose. I know Diane has some sangria she wants to try out. I'll be drinking hard whiskey, hard !!!
I will leave early saturday morn and pick up the ice from Buccees and the Exxon station. 20lb bags for .99cents. Plus I've been packing away the ice in the ice makeerr, and if push comes to shove, we can always get more.
I've got signs ready to make and post, and within a few days I will finish them, photograph them and put them on the forum so yall can familiarize yourselves with them. I'll make a map and add some landmarks and mileage. But, since I know yall all have cellphones with MAPS AND OR GPS, just type in where you are leaving from, and the destination 4040 MARSHALL LN, CHAPPELL HILL, TX 77426, AND voila, there you are! ! ! plus we will have balloons on the street marker....
Now, I know all yall have a much higher GPA than I, and in fact mine was probably the lowest in the history of mankind, and still was able to graduate, thanks in large part to one very special lady, JENNY TAYLOR....!!!!! Yea Jenny, and thanks again. (if it hadnt been for Ms Taylor, I'd probably still be there watching the cornstruction of the new waltrip, and trying to get out of whoever was teaching algebra 1 and english and civics, and lunch etc.....So, since yalls GPA is so high and mine is so low, and I can find my way home, shirley you high gpaers should be able to find your way here. Dont maKe me come over there...!
Nah, just funnin ya...if anyone should still have trouble finding the place after all the clues, just call Diane or I and we'll talk you in , and if need be, have you stay put where youre lost, and we'll come fetch you!
Lady Di's number is 713-560-0676...........Mine is 713-560-0673.....
So, there you are ....and there you go....

Fran and I had a very enjoyable surprise day today. We had left Houston last Wednesday on a trip to Knoxville, Tennessee to celebrate the life of my sister Kay's husband Tom, ( my beloved brother in law of 57 years). Enroute we stopped for two days in Biloxi which is one of our favorite Gulf Coast towns. We spent three days in Knoxville and yesterday left there heading for Tulsa, where we have a fun and important get together this Friday evening. In between we planned a three day stop over in Branson. As we drove I got to wondering how close our route on Tuesday would take us to Mountain View, Arkansas, where our much loved and for Fran and I mutual classmate and old friend Gary Keith and his lovely wife Lois have lived for years. Well presto, presto, after a stop at a Tennessee rest area and the use of my primitive internet skills on my phone, I determined that we would be in the general area. So out of the blue I called Gary and after a little scrambling they were able to meet us today for a delightful lunch and afternoon of visiting and catching up. "
