This here's whatcha call a TRUCK in TEXAS!

Yep... this is a Texas Truck... and I know because this is my near 6-foot tall, Texas "born n' bred", son-in-law... Standin' here by his brand new Ford F250, 4 wheel-drive, king cab.... Texas Truck...

Son... ya done good... just remember to throw a ladder in the truck bed before ya'll come over to take us out to dinner... otherwise, I'm gonna need a sky-hook to git up in that thang...

ps... I hope yor little wife told ya I was gonna post this picture... ;)

pss... I have just been informed that an automatic step has already installed for use by us old broads (mother and mother-in-law) and one young pretty wife...

Just doin' our part to stimulate the economy down here in French Lique...

The blessing of rain... in French Lique...

The windows were open this morning when I woke up to the pitter-patter of rain outside. I love the sound and the smell of rain. Ricky came into the bedroom and I told him "it's raining, you might want to park that motorcycle this morning and take the truck to work"... to which he replied.... "Naw"....

Ricky left for work, on the motorcycle of course, and I sat down at the front porch table to enjoy the rain with a nice hot cup of coffee and the morning newspaper. About 5 minutes later, he was back... and soaking wet. It was just drizzling at our house... but a couple of miles down the road, it was pouring... So he came back, gave me another kiss good-bye, and took the truck to work.

One of these days that man is going to listen to the wisdom of his wife... just biding my time down here in French Lique...
