Thanksgiving Trip to Texas – 2012

Linda and I just returned from a Thanksgiving visit to Flatonia, Texas to visit my late sister Frances’s three children. Joe, Brian, and Scott. Joe’s wife Delie and  Brian’s wife Elaine were in attendance, as well as  Brian’s children Katy and her husband Clark, Josh and Joanna. Katy’s two sons Trevor and Ty and Josh’s son? (forgot his name) were there. Josh’s wife and other son Seth were not able to attend.

Joe and Delie have an 80+ acre ranch in Flatonia where he has cattle, sheep and ducks and his Australian shepherd dogs. Joe uses his farm animals to train his champion Aussie Woody.
