Thoughts For Living
ByAUhaf
I think I mentioned last week that
ix ajsras ssxz
and aince it is his 75th, we decided a
Hftfr crirbration should tsk«
place. After all, it's not Just
everyone who reachee that
particular mileetone. Ae, with most
families, our children are tied up
with their various jobs through the
week, so Aug. 17 was the closest we
could get to his Aug. 19 birthday.
We went to Judy’s (or this
celebration. Jim and 1 went down
early Saturday morning and Paul
Ray’s family came Sunday. We had
two missing, since Vicki is in
Germany and Curtis had to work
that day. At Judy’s that morning,
everyone got up at his or her own
leisure and had a light breakfast
anticipating what we were going to
have at 1:00 P.M. In fact, when I got
up, Mifh—i was already getting the
grill ready to start the fire. I
recommend Michael very highly as
a chef of distinction. He grilled
steaks that were beyond description.
I had been with Judy when she
bought the potatoes. I had found the
potatoes and told her, “They have
beautiful potatoes, but they are too
large.” “We want them big!” die
insisted. So big potatoes we got
Everyone made his or her own salad
using a generous variety of
ingredients, and of course, there was
plenty of DeLeon cantaloupe. When
we had all been through that line, we
sat down to that delicious dinner.
After all that, could we think about
dessert? Yes, we did. Every
birthday dinner has to have a cake!
So we had cake topped off with
strawberries and cream.
After all that Michael said, “Now
everyone can find his own spot for a
nap!” But there were no naps. A few
might have dosed a little in chairs,
but we had a good family afternoon
together. Paul Ray’s family left
about 4:00, but Jim and I stayed over
until Monday morning to make our
way back to DeLeon.
We waited until the traffic would
not be at its peak on Monday, and
then we stopped in I ampasas for
coffee. When we got to Goidtbwaite,
we decided to drive out the
Brownwood highway to the Country
Kitchen and have a hamburger.
When they were ready, they covered
a plate and I don’t believe I ever ate
a better one. If you haven’t tried
that place to eat, I recommend you
try it the first opportunity you have.
If you don’t know where it is, I’ll
warn you to be careful or you might
miss it It looks a little more like an
abandoned bam than a restaurant
and is three or four miles from the
intersection of Highways 16 and 183
on the way to Brownwood. We
learned about it several months ago
and have never been at a time to eat
a full meal. I can only say their
hamburgers are super and their
sandwiches are usually more than I
can eat. They are made of huge
slices of their own bread baked fresh
daily with lots of whatever you care
to order on them.
It has Just dawned on me that this
entire column is about food. Have I
made all of you hungry! Well, i’m
sorry that I can’t satisfy that hunger
with some of the same delicious food
we’ve eaten on this weekend. Now
that we are home, we are both going
to have to limit our meals to
something much lighter to
counteract all this delicious food
we’ve eaten on this special birthday
weekend. While we eat our lighter
meals we can think about what we
had over the weekend!

percent in August 1977.

constitution to allow branch

ratified by state voters in
