A Little bit of Texas

The Day we got here it rained like no tomorrow!! Jada was so funny, she thought it was awesome because the rain was so warm. When it rains down here the streets just over flow with rain, you drive threw puddles that feel like they are going to swallow my car when you go threw them. I dont know if its because the roads are not designed as well or if the sewer system is not as efficient or what but the roads are covered after a good rain.

Then we had the pleasure of dinning at KD's BBQ. I should have taken more pictures....First thing is it is PACKED...a line around the building. When you go to enter you go through this old rickety staircase with a screen door you have to hold open. Then you grab a plastic tray and put a piece of wax paper on it. Next you go to the "pit" to pick your meat. You dont pick how much you just say what you want and they slap it on your "plate" (sheet of wax paper). This place is one of a kind. Then they have loaves of bread just laying out, beans, onions, cobbler, you see where we are going with this......on the table they dont waste time with napkins, as you see you just get a whole roll of paper towels. The Salt and Pepper shakers were a bottle that someone stabbed with a knife a couple times...so be careful it comes out FAST! Then decor was right up there too! Regardless the meat was AMAZING!!!! The experience was EYEOPENING, we will go back if not for the food but to take some more pics now that i'm not in shock :)
The only picture i have so far of downtown Midland.
In our house, well and out of our house...We have these house geckos that are EVERYWHERE. This was the first one we caught. They are so fast and like to sit on my flip flops...grrrrrrr. We have learned that they are harmless, and i guess they help keep all the spiders, cockroaches, fireants, and the nasty bugs out of the house, so.......i guess all i have to say is WELCOME my little geckos, welcome. (Dont even think of going in my bedroom though)
