Cadel and Maddie at the ALAMO

We had a wonderful visit from Kyle, Daisy, Caitlyn, and Cadel. We had a lot of fun eating on the Riverwalk and walking around Downtown and making our last stand at the Alamo (actually we went to Hagen-Das after the Alamo, then we said our goodbyes).

Maddie's 4th B-Day in Houston/ Go Karts

I absolutely am positive they said Maddie was tall enough to ride in the Go Karts with us. But I had to let SKI and Richard use her rides instead. Just Kidding. We all had good, clean, adult fun... smashing into little kids in Go Karts.....ha ha...

What a Thanksgiving!

We all had a blast at Mimi's House for Thanksgiving. She got a MoonWalk for the backyard and even the Big Kid's (Richard and Rebecca) got to get crazy for awhile.
Maddie told me that Uncle Richard couldn't get his legs straight enough to do the Airplane rides because he wasn't as flexible. From the mouths of babes....
We all had a great time and it was wonderful to spend time with The Struemplers and The Dovers. Maddie was especially fond of her cousin Reagan and asked about her each morning in Houston, if she would see her.

Election Day! Crap! It was a great experiment.

Sorry about the last couple of months. We have been trying to enjoy our last months in OUR GREAT EXPERIMENT. It was a great 235 years. Hope you like the pictures of what we do with our hard earned money, that we get to keep/use well you know what I mean.
What does it mean when (as Maddie calls him) the O Man says: "This victory is not the change we seek?" "Our Climb will be steep" What the heck country is he talking about? Kenya? First my ancestors were kicked out of Mexico for being the rich landowners (haciendas); which by the way can I go down to Mexico and ask for some sort of you know re-distribution? NO! You grow up and take accountability for your own actions and your own family and your own community. You teach a man to fish. You don't just feed him fish. Maybe had he really been paying attention in his Catholic school in Indonesia (alleged), he would realize that's the way a Democracy works. Welcome to the Chicago way...Thugocracy!!! If you don't get any new updates, I'm probably being reprogrammed. I mean, spending time in a Happy, Joyous and Free Facility. Have you done your fair share for Omerica today?
