    We left Tyler at 5:24am, just before sunrise. We listened to soft instrumental music to keep the girls asleep as much as possible.

    Being creative, we had an indoor picnic at Holiday inn. Just too hot to be outside 95 degrees.

    We had 1 meal for all 4 of us at Lamberts Cafe. Yum. Chicken fried steak. Famous for their “Throwed rolls”.

    The girls were out by 6pm on their pallets on the floor. Proud of them. No accidents “potty” ALL DAY. They are tired.

    We’ve enjoyed Annie, 4 and Amanda 2. Nothing melts my heart more than hearing the words, “hey Grammie, where’s Granddad?”

    Tomorrow, Ellen drives down and picks Annie and Amanda up and we continue on our Member Care trip to visit the Avant Retirees that live along the East coast.
