Week 03 - Hello from Texas - 09-03-2006

Hello from Texas

We left y'all in Albuquerque where we spent two nights. This gave Pete a little time to catch up on work. After leaving there, we sped along (for us) to Tucumcari, New Mexico and then to Amarillo, Texas. Here we met up with Janice and Frank at Aunt Glo's house. We had a wonderful time visiting and eating a home-cooked meal. We left about 9:00 pm to get a head start to San Angelo, Texas. We stopped overnight at a Walmart.

The next day we realized that Pete lost his wallet! We knew it was either at Kohl's department store or Aunt Glo's house. Pete lost his money, driver's license, debit card and credit cards. Fortunately Ellen still had a debit card so we could get cash for diesel (which was only $2.94 a gallon). We called Janice who was with Glo. They were a few miles behind us. Glo called a friend who had a key to her house and the friend found Pete's wallet in the couch. Praise the Lord! We don't have our wallet, but neither does anyone else!

We proceeded on to San Angelo where we met with Ellen's Mom's relatives (the Pierce family). We had a great time, spending two days eating and talking and eating and talking. Many thanks to Jana for her hard work in hosting Nan's (her mom) 85th birthday. We left Sunday, fatter and happy and are spending the night in Fredericksburg, Texas. Tomorrow, we are off to San Antonio to the Alamo.
