weekend with mom and dad.

Mom and Dad came to Fort Worth this weekend. We had a great visit with them! They drove in around 10 p.m. Friday night and Daniel and I were just starting a 1000+ piece puzzle. They put their things down and joined in the fun. We got most of the edges finished Friday night and parts of the inside. We woke up Saturday morning and got started early - 8:30 a.m. We took a bit of an intermission for breakfast, then kept on working until it was time to start getting ready for the Rangers v. Astros game. The puzzle wasn't ever left completely alone - we were all pretty determined by this point, so while someone was showering, the others were meticulously searching for pieces! We got away from it for most of the rest of the day. We watched the Rangers beat the Astros Saturday afternoon! Then we went to visit some Somali Bantu that had asked to meet the folks. We were hungry for dinner by then, so we went downtown. We ate at 8.0. Our thoughts of this place? Well, we really liked the atmosphere outside. A couple of guys sat on stools and played the guitar and sang as we enjoyed the cool breeze of the evening and good conversation. We walked around a bit, and headed back to 4016 Stanley Avenue, where we found ourselves mesmerized again by the puzzle - so mes- merized that we finished the puzzle Saturday night!!! - and obviously super proud of ourselves! Sunday morning we woke up for church and I think it was my dad that made the comment that it was sad not to have the puzzle to work on again!! ;-) Went to church, then to Hoffbrau Steakhouse for lunch and we saw the folks off!
