Buttermilk, Hobbz deadliest warrior, widow-ettes, and horses

This year, we celebrated our 4th anniversary and then flew off to Hobbs, New Mexico to see my granddaddy D.C. Murphy. He is the hottest and possibly the most distinguished (he turns 91 this year) widower in his church and possibly Hobbs, Lubbock, Texas, and Midland, Texas all together! Plus, he still drives at his age so he is a hot commodity! Here are some fun Pictures from the weekend!

Anniversary Dinner at McCormick and Schmicks

We landed in Midland and dropped by to visit Farris and Mike Murphy my mom's cousins. They have a beautiful home and the most beautiful horse we have seen in person, Buttermilk.

We stopped by Grandma's grave and we put out a grapevine cross.
There is a pizza place in a gas station in Hobbs called Papa Murphy's. We stopped by and Grandaddy didn't get why we wanted to take a picture at a gas station at first! Later, I was fixing his computer and added this picture to his desktop... he was so excited!
We went rouge...Playing with some of Grandaddy's stuff... acting out our own version of what has become Brett's favorite show: Deadliest Warrior.
Let's just say, crazy wife versus tough husband ended in Crazy wife winning 99.9% of the time... the most effective weapon she has is the craziness!
Ok, So here are a couple of lady widows, from Grandaddy's Church. Hilda on the left was probably one of the closest friends my Grandma had. Clydene is independent and has made a great dinner date for Grandaddy. They always fight over who will pay the bills, so he says that now when they go eat somewhere, they have to talk about who will pay before they even go in to prevent a huge argument!
Saying goodbye and heading back home!

First of all, I love your granddaddy. He's so stinkin' cute and I would absolutely love to be a fly on the wall when he is arguing with the lady over the bill. And, Deadliest warrior is very good and the pics look like they are clips straight from the show. you win, hands down.

He is so cute! That grandad is something else. Don't play with those weapons you might poke an eye out!

Love, Kathy
