- Remember when I mentioned that I took wifeGeeding to Del Frisco’s for our anniversary? Turns out they sent us a hand written thank you card for spending our 3rd anniversary with them.  I thought that was pretty impressive, not to mention I never gave them our address.
- We live on top of a hill and can see the Vista Ridge mall from our house. The mall had a fireworks show, and we could see it from our front yard. I’m starting to really enjoy July 4 around here because it’s really the only time everyone in the neighborhood comes out together all at one time, not to mention it was great family time.
- I had the opportunity to try some Coca-Cola from Mexico. It tastes a tad different because it has real surgar instead of high fructose corn syrup. Kinda like the whole Dr Pepper and Dublin Dr Pepper thing. I prefer the domestic Coke. I also hear the plant that makes the Coca-Cola with real sugar will soon be making it with HFCS. In case you are wondering, Coca-Cola is my favorite soft drink.
- The name of this motel in Haltom City crakced me up, so I had to take a picture.
- When cleaning out the garage, I came across an old dirty American flag. The proper way to dispose of a flag is to burn it. I also know that if one is not comfortable doing so, he or she can turn the flag over to the Boy Scouts or a military recruiting station. Since I didn’t know where any of these facilities are, I burned the flag myself and felt extremely awkward doing so.
- I was told that a great place to eat breakfast burritos is Rudy’s BBQ. The closest one to us is about a 15 minute drive to Denton, TX. I remember seeing a lot of Rudy’s on my way to San Antonio, but I think this is the only one in North Texas. I didn’t get there early enough for breakfast, but when I got there for lunch and told the lady behind the counter that this was my first visit, she brought out samples of each meat for me to try – quite impressive! Extremely tender meat. You have two kinds of BBQ sauce to use, Sissy Sauce or Regular. I prefer the Sissy Sauce. They also have cream corn. It’s OK, definately not as good as the cream corn at Babe’s. Also, anytime you see a sign like this you know you are in the right place:
- It annoys me when I hear people confuse BBQ’s and Cookouts. If you are cooking burgers and dogs, that is a cookout, not a BBQ. BBQ’s involve BBQ sauce, it’s that simple. Jeff Probst does this all the time on Survivor.
- I got a small article published in our church magazine.
- I didn’t play enough tennis during my time off.
- I got a crazy phone call last Sunday. One of my closest buddies said a deal just kinda fell into his lap regarding an all expense trip to Las Vegas, and he was asking if I could go. Only problem, the plane was to take off in about an hour and a half and wifeGeeding was in a musical and I couldn’t contact here. As much as I wanted to go and thankful that he thought of me, I was happy to have a lot of down time.
