I should have waited on posting that as we are not leaving till Saturday.
The Auzzies( acturally retired Americans), fly in Saturday from Florida where they are visiting her mother and the MooseJaw friends fly in Sunday so will meet up Monday and terrorize Dallas and FtWorth starting Monday.
Of course the ladies will be shopping scrapbook shops and there is a bunch in that area. Us Guys, well, Bet we can find some trouble and probably won't be hard to find. At Least there is a Big Bass Pro in Grapevine Tx about 20 miles away.
AND, I will be taking some carving stuff with me so I can entertain myself whenever and where ever.
Those Texans do look at you funny when you are sitting on a bench, spitting and whittling. Tobacy and chips all over their sidewalks.
Ah, remember Gramps with his chaw and whittling. That man could spit a steady stream for sure.
He had a mixture of 3 different kinds of chewing tobacco. Taylor pride, Red man and Mail Pouch. He said they all had different flavors(eh Gads), and combining them made for a healthy Chaw. WHAT? Chewing tobacco is healthy. Guess so, he live to be 93 and chewed since he was 5, so he said. Of course, him being from the back hills of Kentucky maybe so. Never knew if Gramps was telling the truth or not in all the stories he told.
He moved to Kansas when he was a teenager as he was kicked out of his house when he was 13, so he said.Never met my great grandparents on his side as he said they were mean spirited people.
Now I did see him soit a wad in to the mouth of an old duck he had, the duck would sneak up on you and peck you. As a little kid that hurt. One day, Gramps was sitting there sitting and whittling, and the duck, took a nip of Gramps' ear, Gramp let out a hollar and grab that duck my his neck, forced open the duck's beak, and spit. Then he let that duck go. That duck did the strangest things but he never pecked on any one again.
