A Peek at the Sharps: January 2008

Sunday, January 27, 2008

One weekend I flew (by myself) up to Kentucky. The weather was so BEAUTIFUL while I was there- and the leaves were gorgeous. I got to see the twins and wives and their homes, churches, parks, and workplaces. AND The Twin Spires! I lost a little money- Becky won some dough. I got groped by "Churchill Charlie"- but at least I got some nachos! It was a great weekend!

Cabin Fever

This past October, Marcus and I took a trip to Bastrop State Park and stayed in one of the cabins built by the CCC - (Civilian Conservation Corps). Our cabin was built in the thirties and had indoor plumbing added later. There was a framed page from the architectural set hanging in the cabin - and the "budget" to build our cabin was only $38.00 - I'm only about 90% sure I'm remembering this statistic correctly - but it was definitley less than 50 bucks! Crazy!!!
We had a great time- very relaxing! We brought lots of food and drink. The golf course wasn't the best - but downtown was very cool. We found a popular oyster bar and watched the UT game. Enjoy the pics!

Trip to Kemah

Sometime over the summer, Marcus and I met up with some of my old friends down at Kemah. We went to ride the new coaster... whose name now escapes me... should have posted this a few months ago. Hmmm. But we got there early and bought tickets that would give us limitless rides. Sounded like a great idea, but after one go round on that coaster I had had my fill. John and Chuck (who are pro-coaster riders) went a few more times. And John's wallet fell out (not very "pro-coaster" of him)! It was turned into the office, so all was well. Marcus and I left at lunch time, and still made it back to H-town for his tee-time!
Oh yeah- had to add this. Check out the pic of the coaster- don't you just bet those home owners are miffed!!!

Sharp Trip to Arkansas!!!

I might possibly be the worst blogger with the "best intentions" out there. I am the family's devoted "picture taker"- but then, I don't make time to share the memories. So this Saturday morning, while my most darling hubby in on the hunt for the perfect pair of jeans (I've drawn the line on re-sewing buttons on his old denims), I will post pictures of events of this past year. In short form, mind you, b/c there is A LOT to catch up on!

So- this past summer- we Sharps boarded an RV- bound for Arkansas, for a Sharp family reunion. I had never met most of the Sharps and had a great time visiting with family and enjoying good ol' southern food (like grandma used to make!). Here is a shot of some of us - Royce Sr's sister and her family included. Note, Heather has not had Seneca, yet, and she will likly kill me later for posting a preggers picture of her.
