Texas Part 2

Ryan preached in two services at his home church in North Houston, we grabbed a bite of lunch and went straight to Brenham to my Uncle Richard's farm. My family all gathered for a bit of fun, but also to scatter the ashes of my Granddaddy. It was the perfect setting to honor him and I was so glad to be there with family. Ryan did an amazing job of leading our little service. It was perfect.

Sometimes the toys cause problems. Ben chipped a tooth on a 4-wheeler ride through the new off-roading path.

 He was brave! He got back on and rode again. No real damage. It's just a baby tooth.
