Hey ya’ll, another dose of chemo down the hatch. Yes, I’ll repeat, I’m a whiner, moaner and complainer when I have pain. But man, I take advantage of the good days. Emily; my game plan, work when I feel average, play when I feel good and whine and moan when I feel bad.
A good day. Thursday a week ago I was feeling pretty good. So, I invited little Dixon for his first visit to Galveston and salt water. What a day! Yes, we let his mother, little Rachel and Grandmother, Cassie ride along for the fun. The ferry, the Bolivar Ferry ride. Dixon loved it. We got out of my F-150 and walked to the front of the ferry. Dixon was loving the sites, especially the birds, sea gulls and grackles. Yes, his mother is a Dickson. She started feeding the gulls when right in front of her father and son the captain of the ferry, on a very loud speaker, called her down, “No feeding the birds in the front of the ferry.” She is a Dickson. Her grandmother, Katherine, didn’t believe in the word NO. So, Dixon’s mother just holds her hand up where the birds think she is feeding them. Well, the Captain sends a deck hand down and, right in front of her father and son, tells her the Captain wants her to stop attracting the birds and would she please go to the back of the ferry to feed the birds. Her grandmother, Katherine E. Tyra, always said that it was just easier, for her, to apologize than to ask permission. We went to the back of the boat and had a blast feeding the birds. Next stop the Strand. Dixon and I went straight to the Candy Factory where we both ate a large scoop of ice cream. Then to the beach where Dixon had a blast. He attempted to catch sea gulls for over 2 hours and in between jumped into the surf. He loved it. Check out the Galveston photos below.
We ate at Gaido’s. Dixon loves mashed potatoes and he loves cheese. We order him a $3.00 order of Gaido’s famous Au Gratin potatoes. Rachel, Cassie and I all got some sort of shrimp plate. 18 month old Dixon looked at our plates and looked at his potatoes. He wouldn’t have it. Dixon ended up eating $17.00 worth of fried shrimp. We got the au gratin potatoes, to go.
I just got a new listing. The signs are ordered. Yes, I felt average yesterday. My new listing: 988 acres at the northeast corner of FM 529 and FM 2855, $9,700,000.00. and some change.
The cancer in my lower back has really got me down. Some sort of pain 24/7 and add the side effects of chemo and you start wondering on some days. Then pop the prayer warriors and God deliver a great day. When I have a good day, they are so good.
Chasing the Texas sunsets,
