By the time you read this post, I will be in Dallas, headed to g-grandaughter Lucy's second birthday. We will spend time with Lucy and her mom, Bailey, and her dad, Daniel this weekend. I'll be home Sunday night, and then I will be back on the road Wednesday to see more grandchildren, Annie and Wyatt, and to take care of their family's two hundred chickens, turkeys, and horses while the family goes on a short trip. Wish me luck!
