Vacation on Lake Palestine Texas

By -
Kathy and I rented a lovely house on Lake Paestine, about 2 hours east of Dallas. We took the boat, all of the water toys, and the kayaks, and met all of the kids and grandkids for four days of sunshine and play. Jessica and Kristin worked out in advance every meal, and we had such a nice time with all of the grandkids. There is a new collection of photos on my Picasa Web Album. You can click on "Kevin's Photos" on the left side of the blog to view them. All I can say is "come on down!".

I read a couple of articles about the ongoing l...
