Today we toured Chappell Hill Texas and the Blue Bell Creamery in Brenhan Texas on the County bus trip through our church group "Young At Heart". What a wonderful day we had and again we were blessed with great weather for this trip. We have such wonderful couples that are responsible for putting all our trips together. We really appreciate all the hard work they do to co-ordinate them. Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiviing. Until next time.
