Snow Flurries in Houston for Joshua's 17th Birthday!

Georgia pix

Everyone asked about you all. It was nice to see Lynn and her kids. We haven't seen them for 3 or 4 years. Wendell and Lamar were in Kansas hunting so we got to see Lamar too. Scott enjoyed seeing many of his cousins for the first time in 16 years.

Heading to Georgia

We were planning to go to Georgia for Thanksgiving but our trip has been moved up a bit. Scott's grandmother passed away last night so we will be leaving tomorrow and returning on Wednesday or Thursday of next week.

I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving! LOVE YOU!

Garner State Park

Well, Scott finished the Hilton Garden Inn. So week before last we took a mini vactions. We headed west past San Antonio to Garner State Park. Since it was during the week we had most of the park to our selfs.

We rented a cabin and stayed for a couple of nights. It was nice not to have to cook on a camp stove and to have a refrigerator to store the food in.

We took lots of walks, hiked and did a lot of reading. It was restful time for all of us.

KPRC Channel 2 Tour

On October 28th several LAF families gathered to tour KPRC Channel 2. A great time was had by all. They took us through the entire facility. We went into the control rooms to see all the different aspects of airing programs from audio to inserting commercials. We toured the Studio and learned that gone are the days of having a camera man behind each camera. There is one man that runs the cameras from a booth robotically. We wondered through the Newsroom where all the reporters and anchors work. We got to look at one of the new vans and we even got to watch a live news update.



I would recommend this tour to anyone that is interested in the media. Joshua exclaimed he felt like Charlie in Willie Wonka’s Chocolate factory. That is good for a mama’s heart. :) The tour is limited to 20 individuals for very good reason; it was a tight squeeze in some of those rooms.
