As you can tell from my lack of journal writing I have been a busy gal.� After returning to Mooresville after my 4th of July break I headed to Texas again
for work.� When traveling you sometimes have to find joy in the simplest
things.� And the trip to Texas is hard to find exciting.� The days are long, we
are booked to capacity and it is hot, hot, hot.� But the excitement of the trip is
a shell gas station in Tyler, Texas.� It is the nicest gas station we have ever
stopped at.� It has the best restrooms I have ever seen.� They have marble
counter top and the whole is decorated in the neatest western d�cor.� They
have a little cafeteria there had the best food I have on the road in quit some
time.� The pulled pork was to die for.�
Friday night in Texas the whole traveling group went out to dinner.� We went
to a steak house called “Salt Grass”.� Apparently it is the best place in town
for steak.� I really was looking forward to having a great meal.� When it was
my turn to order I told the waiter I would like to have the rib eye.� He asked if
I wanted the rib eye that was the special of the night.� I had not really listened
to the specials but said “sure I’ll have that”.� Well when my dinner came I
almost fell over.� I had order a 20 ounce bone in rib eye.� All the guys were
laughing!!!!� They couldn’t wait to see my try and it.� I managed to get down
about 16 of the 20 ounces.� I then had to surrender what I had left to one of
the guys.�
