Weekend trip to Dallas again.

The parents and I got to take a short trip to Dallas this weekend after Nancy's wedding in Longview on Friday.

We managed to get Pappaw outta the house for a while. He walked around fry's electronics with the Pops and I for about 45 minutes looking for a new DVD-ROM for their new computer, and also for a printer. It was good for his leg (broken last year) to get out and walk around a bit.

Aside from the usual chatting and visit from Uncle Bill & Helen, nothing out of the ordinary happened, except for the cable outage. We were without cable for the weekend, and since their phone is also tied in with the cable, we had no internet either. We actually had to TALK to each other... Anywho, in the midst of all the talking, we managed to get a few pictures taken.

In that series of pictures, take note of the tall plant being attacked by Mammaw. That's Okra, being grown in their backyard. I've never seen or heard of okra being that tall, especially in the suburbs.
