Bob Sr. - I should get a job at Starbucks.
Bob - What would you do?
Bob Sr. - I don't know. I can't make the drinks cause I don't know how to pronounce any of them.

My Friend Olga
Olga was kind enough to let me "practice" taking human pictures. This taught me more of what not do do than anythings else. It was a fun day and I had lots of fun.
Did not notice the trash bag in the trees.
My favorite picture!

Speedster Bob
Today we decided to take a little drive and as we were driving to meet some friends Bob got pulled over for speeding. Now for those of you that know "Mr. set the cruise control to 40 mph in 45 mph zone" this is pretty funny. The one guy who rarely ever speeds gets pulled over. When the cop took his info I really wanted to laugh. I know that sounds wrong but I really needed a break from the stuff I am trying to process. I just love God's sense of humor and timing. I wanted to ask the cop if I could take a picture but I didn't have my camera on me otherwise I would have. Thankfully Bob got a verbal warning and was able to laugh about the irony of the situation. After he got let off he said "And you thought I drove slow before." I won't mind him driving slow for the next two months because that just means more time to listen to George Strait. Which he just loves – HAHA.

This Week...
This week has been a very draining week. Our church lost a key leader. I shouldn't say lost she was never ours and like our pastor said she belongs to God. She is at home with Him now. The one thing this past week has taught me is I'll never understand why God let's certain things happen but I don't need to understand I just need to trust Him. This week I have spent more time in The Word and praying to Him than anything else. This week I have prayed for a lost dog to be returned home (it was), the heartbreak of losing a baby, the strength of a pastor and staff, Vanessa's husband and a peace that passes all understanding. I sang songs through my tears and praised God. This week....

Memory Lane
Channel 17 on XM radio is "Strait Country" until 5/31/08. Strait Country as in nothing but George Strait 24/7. My all time favorite singer!! Needless to say I spend a lot of time in the car this weekend listening to King George. Just about every song reminded me of something.
Love with out end, Amen. My dad used to sing this song to my sister and me. They also sang this at church on Father’s Day a couple of years ago.
Lead On. Back at Tech a group of us went out to Ransom Canyon for 4th of July. They had a concert and then fireworks. During the fireworks they did not play any music so we decided we would sing our own songs. Keith wanted to sing Lead On. So we attempted to sing the song but the only words we could remember were Lead On. We also butchered many, many more songs and I still laugh whenever I hear them
I was also reminded of the time at Midnight Rodeo when they had request night and we decided to list nothing but George Strait. Or the road trip Kevin, Keith and I took to El Paso to see him our freshman year at Tech. Keith and Kevin taking turns dancing with me anytime George came on at Cowpokes/Midnight Rodeo since I would not dance with anybody else. Lots more memories from Tech but I don’t have enough time to write them all down!
Write This Down. I taught my godson, Adam, this song. Every time I hear this song I can hear Adam at age 5 singing this song.
True. While at Red River, in my Doc Martin sandals, I taught Jeff how to two step to this song. (I can remember him asking every time a new song came on if it was George Strait. He had no idea who George Strait was but he had promised to dance with me if one of his songs came on. He didn’t mention that he didn’t know how to dance.)
Amarillo by Morning. Bob took me to see George two years ago and this is the only song he was looking forward to. He didn’t really know any other songs but he does now. Anyways, Bob was hoping this would be one of the last songs that George would sing so he would have something to look forward to. I think it was the second or third song that he sang. Poor Bob!
I Cross my Heart. The song used for first dance as a married couple for several of my friends.
I love listening to George because a lot of his songs have such sweet memories attached to them. Thanks for taking a small trip down memory lane with me.
