A Night in Big "D"

A dear friend treated us to a memorable evening in Dallas. It began with a train ride to American Airlines Center on the TRE from FortWorth. We were on our way to watch the Dallas Mavericks play the Utah Jazz. The memories began. To quote the conductor, "Don't be alarmed, but the train hit a car"! Yes, I am serious. Fortunately, there were no passengers in the car! We had to then spend 1hr and 10min standing on a very crowed train waiting for the police to complete their business and allow us to continue on. Time was spent talking and for some....commenting on Facebook through their phones. Finally we were on our way. We arrived at the game just in time for the tip off. What a spectacle. Lights, music, cheers and alot of excitement. We were lucky enough to sit in a platinum suite. What a treat! The game was very exciting and the Mav's won, making it their 12th in a row! Now back to the train for our return trip. More memories! We missed the first train and had to wait 40 minutes to return on the very last one of the evening. A cold front had hit Dallas-it was cold and windy. We got back to the station safe and sound. My trip ended with a great breakfast this morning with my BFF Michele and her daughter and my son and his girlfriend.
What a truly spectacular weekend!

Our train ride home

I want to share the feeling as I left highway 20 and headed south to Stephenville. As I began to see pastures of cattle and familiar hay stacks, I became relaxed and a feeling of home came over me. I LOVE my friends and family and visiting them in town, but I truly know

my heart is in the country.
