Ok, me again. My daughter has finaly got her new"familly in Texas, and they live in Smithville, Texas. Anyone been there? I know the movie Hope Floats are filmed there, so did anyone see hte movie and can tell us something about this town? I know it is about 1 hour from Austin.

Hanna, how exciting!!!! I've not ever been to Smithville, TX, but did see "Hope Floats" and it seemed like a beautiful town! I'll have to ask Ray where that is from us....not too many hours, I think! How great, congratulations! When will she actually be moving here? Keep us posted on everything, I'm very excited for you. ;)

[Hannamoren]

She will leave august the 12th. We know she will stay at a teacher's house, and they have children! I wonder if there are ranches there.....

[raybeck]

There are lots of ranches around the Austin area, in fact, we have some really good friends that have a ranch in that area. You can find ranches pretty much all over the state of Texas!

Hanna, the friends I was telling you about that have a ranch around the Austin area is very close to Smithville, according to my DH! I would say Smithville is around a 3 hour drive to our ranch, but I am just guessing, need to ask DH about that, too. Anyway, for as big as Texas is, it's not all that far from us. Cool, huh?

[Hannamoren]

Beck, I think I will have to lock my daughter up in her room, and do the trip for her!

[raybeck]

No, you will just have to come and visit her............. {toothy}

[Noseypoo]

Just hide in her suitcase ...

[Hannamoren]

We are actually thinking about comming the last month of her visit, so we can see Texas together! Just have to save up a lot of money....

[raybeck]

I know it's expensive, but if you can pull it off, it would be GREAT!!!

[Noseypoo]

So you're saying our first Frappy-Meet is going to be in Texas? ;) {laughc}

[Hannamoren]

I know we will get the money, so we will come. It is so exiting, since we have never been to Texas, or any of the states close by( Have been to Tennesee, that is the furthest south we have been.) So Texas sounds very nice to me!

[raybeck]

So ya'll would be trying to come to Texas sometime in May of 2006? Will she graduate from High School in Smithsville, too? Yes, Noseypoo, I thought we already had it established a while back that our Frappy reunion was going to be in Texas!!! {toothy}

[Noseypoo]

Well, I better start walking now, so I can get there in time {rotflmbo}

[Justawoman]

Rent a horse Noseypoo and learn the song to Rawhide.

[Noseypoo]

A horse? {yikes} I'd rather spread wings and fly. {laughc}

[raybeck]

{sing} RaaaaaaaaaaawHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide, I love that song!!!

[Justawoman]

Can't you see Nosey moseyin on down here and singing," rollin, rollin, rollin, keep those dogey's rollin Rawhide......" {oh} {yeah}

[raybeck]

keep those dogey's rollin Rawhide......thru wind, rain and weather (what's next?) la la la, wishin my gal was by my side!!! That can be our reunion song...lol

[Justawoman]

And when we say audios we can all sing Happy Trails to you until we meet again.

Of course you all would have to learn Van Halen's version instead of Roy Roger's.

[raybeck]

Oh man......that would be hard for Ray to do.....he'd HAVE to sing Roy Roger's version....

[Noseypoo]

{rotflmbo}

[Justawoman]

Oh man......that would be hard for Ray to do.....he'd HAVE to sing Roy Roger's version....

You mean he wouldn't dress up llke David Lee Roth for us?????
{devil} I'm bad what can I say? {toothy}

[raybeck]

Well, I'd have to say, he's come more near looking like Roy Rogers!!!

[Hannamoren]

We got the photos of my daughtersnew "familly" in Texas. They look very nice. It made it all so much more real! My husband has not been sleeping for a couple of days. He is really struggeling to let our oldest go. Luckely the new "mother" answers me right away when I ask her silly questions.....

[Justawoman]

I hope they keep you very informed about what all your daughter is doing. I would be nervous too. Just let the new mom know what you need to feel secure about this whole situation. I am sure they will understand after all she is your child.
