Time just keeps going past...and more so when life is full, and you are having fun!

When Diane was about 2 and Doug was 3, we took a train to Dallas to visit my sister and brother-in-law and their kids. In this shot, we are at the zoo. Left to right: Carol (me), Steven with probably Doug next to him (can't tell just legs and shoes to look at), then Margaret, Diane in the blue checked pinafore, Al in the red shirt, and Julie...all looking at an ostrich, I think!

 Carol in front (why do I always carry such a huge purse??), then Diane and Steven. Nice long neck (the giraffe..)  .....I made the top...

Petting the goats at the Dallas Zoo...Carol (with danged huge purse!) and Diane in her cute pinafore...and goats!

And, here are cousin Jeff and Doug near a train ride. Best buds!

 With the Brookners visting Six Flags. Left to right - Carol, Steven and Julie.

 Wet hair after 'moist' log flume ride at Six Flags Over Texas... that's me... (I made that top, too...)

 Here I am at Six Flags...looking a bit somber... Pretty landscaping, with the flags, fountains, and flowering bushes... A fun day!

We went to a country club (not sure if Al & Margaret were members so he could play golf there, or what...) and took in the swimming pool. Carol in two-piece suit, Diane at my feet, and Doug getting in the water with his 'floatie' board. I think that might be Margaret and Al in the background, sitting in lawn chairs. Not sure of that, though....

 Another shot at the pool, with Doug, Carol and Diane...fun in the sun in Dallas!

More Six Flags... we've been caught doing something bad, I guess! Carol, Steven, and Julie in the stocks!

Diane and Doug at Margaret's in Dallas...sunny and warm!

Doug and Diane on the front porch at Margaret and Al's house in Richardson, Texas.

Here are the two Brookner boys (Jeff and Steve) with Doug at the Dallas Cowboys stadium.

Here are Steve and Jeff playing ball on their patio behind the house... Sports fans most of their lives...

'Big Al' at bat! Steve must be the catcher, and Jeff is sort of in awe of his dad!

We had a good time. The Brookners sure know how to entertain their guests! Lots of different places to visit and good food to eat. (And wonderful memories of that time together!)
