Dave & Darlene are in Houston

Got this email from Dave Sutton:

"Hello everyone, we have made it to the east side of Houston and are set up in a park 1/2 mile off I-10. Driving across Texas has been interesting but I only need one trip thru this town. The traffic was good but the roads were bad bad bad.

Will do Johnson Space Center in the morning and fill the rest of the day with something to see here. Thursday will head for Hammond, La. but stop short of getting there and spend the night so we will arrive in the early afternoon to set up at cousin Linda's. Will be good to see family again. Cookie and Larry will be there also. Had a good time in San Antonio but looking forward to getting into another state.   Dave & Darlene."

Talked to both Dave and Darlene on the phone and got this email from Darlene:

Howdy Y'all.....does that answer your question??? LOL (I had asked them if they had been in Texas long enough to be saying "Howdy" and "Ya'll?")
I know that Dave has already sent you an email about where we are but I'm a little behind in my correspondence so will try to catch up.  We had some trouble with our computer keyboard a couple days ago......someone, who shall remain nameless, but his initials are DAVID SUTTON, got too close to it with a cup of coffee, and needless to say, some of the keys refused to work after their drenching.  But, lo and behold, when he mentioned his dilemma to our good friend Joyce Cooley she came up with a spare one and generously gave it to us.  So we are back in computer-business.  It's so nice to have good friends!!!!
We had a good time in San Antonio, saw and did lots of stuff.....the Alamo, Riverwalk, Botanical Gardens, flea markets, shopping, etc.  And the weather was very cooperative too.  We are planning on visiting the Johnson Space Center while here in Houston.
LaVon, it sounds like you are really keeping busy with those grandkids and helping out your daughter but I know you are enjoying yourself.  Give our best to Don, we sure miss you guys.  But I'm so glad we have your blog and Snookie and Bob's also, so we can keep up with you all. 
I will attach some picturesBotanical Gardens SA3 for you of the Botanical Gardens, Botanical Gardens SA they were soooooo beautiful.  Botanical Gardens SA2 And one of Dave at the San Antonio Zoo. (That's funny!)Botanical Gardens SA4   You two take care now and keep in touch, we miss you, Love, Darlene & Dave

(Keep those emails and pictures coming!  Was great to hear your voices this morning!)
