Manor House Inn College Station

Socks was born on May 10, 1995 in Tallahassee, FL. He was our daughter's cat - a "college cat." We adopted him in 1996.

In 2007, Socks was diagnosed with Leukemia which was in remission. However, in the past ten days he hadn’t been feeling well. An ultrasound revealed that his Leukemia had spread to Lymphoma. Three veterinarians including Dr. Rossi from MA suggested that we put Socks to sleep since he had 3-6 months max to live and to avoid ...

Left Arlington, TX early in the morning. Heavy rain predicted later on in the morning, definitely wanted to leave before the rain. Ran into rain anyway so it took longer than usual. Texas received heavy rain the past 2 weeks that caused severe flooding in the Dallas / Houston area, of course this is where we are .

I guess this was the main reason I came back at this time for vacation. On the plus side - got to see the whole family in one place over a couple of days.

Outside of having to dress up in a tux, it was a good time. And my rental car even got into the wedding.

Made a quick stop by the Traveling Aggies office to make sure everything was taken care of for my Peru / Machu Picchu vacation next year. I was a little worried trying to do everything from across the pond.

Looks like it will be a good trip & I got the names of the other travellers.

Met up with another high school friend living in College Station. Conveniently, his kids were playing flag football at the same time as my brother's step-son.

Then off to the hotel. My suite on the top floor, right next to the Hilton emblem.

This year I only get to make one football game from Scotland. The Aggies are playing Oklahoma State. Krista is able to make her annual game as well. Not sure if the win streak will continue - every game she has gone to over the years, the Aggies have won.

Update - well, the streak is over. Wasn't as close as the final score. But it was a good day out, even if the weather wasn't as nice as forecasted.

... little old country store. Debra popped the trunk and pulled out snacks. The use of the pace car was donated by Sewell - the pace car is a 2010 CTS Cadillac. It has some pretty cool Lone Star Circle of Life decals on it that will be removed after the ride.
They stopped us after we had ridden around 36 miles. Where we were headed it was raining again and we weren't going to be able to make it to the 5:00 PM ...

... believe that's the chain from which the Dr. Pepper Corporation eventually sprung. Fast forward to the 1960's due to the Cuban Missile Crisis the price of sugar skyrocketed. That's when most cola makers switched over to high fructose corn syrup, including the Dr. Pepper Corporation. The current owner of the original bottling company (Sam Prim's daughter) tried it though, and she hated it! She said that no matter ...
