The Tall City

This weekend we visited the booming metropolis of Midland, Texas to see Clark's parents. Tomorrow is Karen's Birthday so we decided to surprise her by dropping in on her dinner. We left FW around 4 and got to the restaurant around 8. She was shocked and totally caught off guard as Dean had told her that some of their friends were going to be meeting them there. We had a nice dinner and then headed home to chat for a while before turning in for the night.

Entering the Tall City

Saturday, I went over to Wynne and Stephen's house to check out all they had done to it since first seeing it last summer. The house has really come together and all of their hard work and spray painting skills have paid off! It looks fantastic and they should both be proud! That night, we went with the Elder's and Dean to the Midland drive-in. (Karen had her 10 year :) high school reunion that night) There are these things called Chihuahua's at the Midland Drive-In. Basically, they are comprised of pimento cheese, cabbage and taco beef sandwiched between two tostada shells. I know they sound terrible but I promise they are fantastic. This was Wynne and Stephen's first Chihuahua and after much trepidation, we made believers out of them as well.

Success!

Sunday we had brunch at Wall Street before heading back to town. For some reason, the drive there went so fast for me but dragged all the way back to FW. I was so glad when we finally made it. It was a great weekend and we were so thankful to be able to spend it with Clark's parents. Even when Karen wasn't prepared for us she was still the hostess with the mostess.
Happy Birthday!!
