Grand Prairie, Texas

Last night in Lubbock we went looking for music and found the Depot District, which has bars, music venues, restaurants, and the Buddy Holley memorial.  It's hard for us to stay out late enough for night life to get going, but we did find a fun bar, Triple J, with good musicians.



This morning we drove to Grand Prairie, a suburb of Ft. Worth and Dallas.  We passed hundreds of windmills on the mesas.  When we got close to Ft. Worth, trees started to show up and the land became rolling.



 We came to see our niece Amanda and her two adorable children.  Amanda and her husband Adam have been in Grand Prairie for a couple of months.  They have made lots of adjustments - new job, new home, new friends, new state and town.  Amanda is staying home with her two toddlers, Luke (almost 3 years old) and Livie (almost 1) while Adam is tackling a new, demanding job.  Adam works out of town, so we didn't get to see him today.



We had a jolly dinner. The kids were great eaters, and we were so glad to see them and Amanda.
Happy Friday!  One week from today we will be home in Atlanta.
