Hand Dipped/Real Milk?
Steak N Shake Drive-Thru Menu
You’d think that with this kind of title Steak N Shake wouldn’t make their shakes from a mix, but you actually have to special-request your shake to be made with real ice cream…
…and pay an extra 0.49/shake.

What Happy Is-The Josties
Really enjoyed this great song by the Jost family...a delightful, truth-proclaiming song, sung by the young Amy-Jo Jost. Her voice and the ukulele in this piece really grow on you if you listen more than once. Oh and nicely done video too. Enjoy! – Lisa
The Jost family have made some great videos that can be watched on their website at www.JostieFlicks.com
CA or Bust
On Tuesday we went to the home of our friends, the beautiful, Grable family. They were packing up and working hard, preparing to leave for their move to California. We snapped this shot of them before we left and said our goodbyes.

Driving to Texas
This morning we loaded up the car for a trip down to Ft. Worth, Texas to visit family. We had a bit of a late morning start, but we eventually made it to the highway. When we were approaching the Oklahoma border we got stuck in some traffic because of a vehicle that was on fire.
After we passed that up…how else do you stay occupied on a long drive through Oklahoma? How about by taking pictures of the dog on your lap!
Noah was asleep for much of the driving and Benjamin also took a very uncharacteristic nap.
The Golden Arch…es
Very dry river near Tulsa, OK
We made it to Ft Worth before midnight, but we didn’t get into bed until 2 am for some much needed sleep.

Trip to Texas
Well, our purpose in coming to Texas was to assist Kate’s recently widowed mother who needs help painting a few things at her house.
We were going to paint the cabinets in the kitchen and bathroom and also repaint a couple of doors/door frames and a breakfast room. By the end of the first day we’d pulled everything out and the place looked like an absolute wreck! But things have to get worse before they can become better!
We all tried to work together…
…and Lydia was a great help. She’d be on top of anyone who tried to lie down on the job!
That is, if she wasn’t sleeping herself!
Thankfully by the end of day two we had wrapped everything up as illustrated by the picture of a sticky ball of tape to the left.
The next and final day we visited a Civil War Museum and shared a dinner with Kate’s sister and niece who also live in TX. We enjoyed looking at their pug…SO ugly it can become cute over time.
We headed home the next morning…
City skyline
The highways/toll ways were a bit confusing through Dallas and there seemed to be a very limited amount of highway signs and directions-things that would’ve made navigating much less confusing.
We made hit thunderstorms and rain at Joplin, MO, so partly because of that we didn’t get home until 1:45am.
