We hope you do gaudet. Was great meeting you and your wife Tanya.
And a thanks to rrawhide for providing the wine for this event. Albeit not the one he intended us to shate it was still enjoyed by all. I had planned on taking the merlot rrawhide had sent me for ourafter dinner sipping but inadvertently grabbed a bottle of the Syrah instead.
Anyway, upon arriving at the hotel to pick up Mike and his wife thy expressed a desire to get elbow deep in some good ribs so off to Simms BBQ we went.
Tanya, Were the ribs good ?
And she replied.................
After dinner we headed back to the Hotel and popped a cork on rrawhides Syrah ( awesome wine there buddy )
Was way too short of a visit and I left with a great selection of Mike's wines ( will get and post picture of those later)We thoroughly enjoyed the meeting you guys and look forward to a possible trip to O'leans in the future.

Man that was a marathon of driving. From New Orleans to Little Rock wasn't too bad. We left at 06:30 on Thursday Morning and made it there for 15:30. Met with Waldo and Kat and it was a very nice evening. Great company and great wine. Thanks to you Rrawhide, that was the first syrah I've ever had and it was most excellent. Wish we could grow them grapes down here.
Al we did have a great time. And made a good friend as well.
Barney, were you expecting perhaps a younger Gent?
And Wade, my wife thanks you for your compliments, and blushes while accepting them.
Drove to Dallas on Friday, left at 09:00 and made it there at 16:30. Relaxed around the room then went walk around the local area since it had a bunch of places to eat and drink. Hit the happy hour at a little Mexican place for some Margaritas and then went back to the room to crash.
Saturday morning, we left about 10am to check out the state fair at the Cottonbowl. It was fun, but I had not anticipated the weather change. I was dressed for 70-80 degree weather and got 50-60 instead. BRRRRRR!!!!!!
Lots of stuff to see there, we mainly went for the strange foods we had heard about. Chicken Fried Bacon and fried twinkies as examples. There were long lines for stuff like the deep fried peanut butter, jelly, and banana sandwiches and deep fried butter (I don't know what sick individual thought of that one). So we didn't get to try everything, but had an enjoyable time. I even got Tanya to go on the Ferris Wheel which was 214 feet tall. (She doesn't like heights)
We decided to come home a day early yesterday since Mrs. Gaudet and I were a little homesick. We left Dallas at 09:30 and made it home at 19:00. The weather was threatening to pour down, but held out and was not too bad a drive home.

gaudet said:Well the thinner me was killed years ago by my wife.
I can't resist her cooking.
LOL! My husband blames me as well. He has lost over 50 lbs. using http://www.sparkpeople.com/. The best part is that you can pretty much eat what you are used to, just in his case less
