April 2005 - It's my birthday!
This is the weekend we had planned for to celebrate my birthday
out at the land with some friends and family. Me and Cyndi, Archie and Ann, and Ozzie Lujan
with his family - Karen and Matthew (along with Buster and Jezebel), form a small convoy to head out to the land from Houston early Friday morning around 6:00 AM. My friend and
colleague, Vladimir Frumin, got a head start on us and started out about 4:00 AM to meet us there. Heather and Tayler, along with their friends Andrea and Brianna started out from Copperas Cove near Killeen around 9:00 to meet us there as well. I was full of excitement when I started the truck this morning on this trek with all of these close friends and family joining me for this birthday venture on the first anniversary of when I first set out to this place.
I was very excited that my daughter and grandbaby were going to be there.
Our convoy stopped in Leaky around noonish and met up with Vladimir who had arrived there a few hours earlier. After eating
a good lunch at Ms. Toad's restaurant, we checked Ann and Archie into the D' Rose Inn just next door to Ms. Toad's place.
As Ann and Archie were putting their things in the room, I hear a honk of a horn and turn around to see my daughter and grandbaby pulling into the D' Rose parking lot. What a wonderful sight it was!
This has to have been the best weekend out at the land thus far... and on my 24th birthday even. (Or is it 25? I
forget... or have I hit 30 yet? I dunno...)
