Took A Little Trip

Last week we took a little trip to Cleveland via Syracuse to Baptize yet another McCarron kid. This time is it the midwest branch of the family tree. I successfully snatched Daniel James McCarron from the snares of Satan and made him a child of God. I was disappointed when I got to Syracuse to find out that I had to bail my grandson out of prison. Poor kid, his parents left him there.

Once that was taken care of we went to the movies! Also, little Miss Katie was quite the fashion plate. She always likes to dress up before taking a ride on her horse in her pajamas!

We had a very nice stay in both places and when it was time to come home from Cleveland it only took 100 hours. Lovely trip through Pennsylvania in pouring rain and through constructions sites where no one was working. I bought a car on June 13th and as of August 16 I have 5,200 miles on that sucker! I can't wait to get, "On the Road Again".

Y'all Come Back Now

Well, we went south of the Mason Dixon Line this week. The purpose of our trip was to visit our friends, the Clampett's, formerly known as the Beverly Hillibillies (pictured above). That's my wife, Ellie Mae Sue, second from left. Far left is Nurse Ritz Cracker and the couple on the right is Jed and Daisy Clampett from North Carolina via Beverly Hills, New Jersey and Pennsyltucky. It was a great trip. First day we went out on a tooth counting trip. We found many more people had teeth than we originally thought. However, some of them shared the same set of teeth and chewed alternately. I looked into why there were so many people without teeth and the reason seemed obvious after a few days. Everything in the southern restaurants is cooked in tons of butter, deep fried or has been previously chewed by someone else with teeth so you don't really have to chew yourself. Therefore, teeth become unnecessary. After the teeth hunt we decided to drive around and take advantage of the beautiful weather (104 degrees, humid and cloudy). We went to Davidson College in beautiful, downtown Davidson and took a picture just to prove we were there. Apparently, their mascott is a bronze wildcat.

We did not have a lot of time this trip so we left on Thursday. We drove straight through to come home (about 10 hours) with only one stop for fuel for us and the car. We ate at Roy Rogers in West Virginia and after dinner my wife let me ride the horse outside the restaurant. It cost 50 cents. Used to be just 10 cents when I was a kid.

We got home last night at about 9:30 PM and that ended our adventure. Next, wedding on Saturday, Syracuse and Cleveland next week and two weeks after that WORK again!!!! Bites
