Jordan's parents, Bob and Debbie, visited us at the end of January and we had a great weekend. Friday, Bob bought us tickets to hear Carrie Newcomber at Uncle Calvin's Coffeehouse. Sounds normal enough right? Wrong. It was a very neat experience. Uncle Calvin's is a coffeehouse that features songwriters that just happens to also be a Presbyterian Fellowship Hall. So, picture this....should have taken a picture....about 30 minutes before the doors open, just like any other bar, there are lines of people BUT in the foyer of the church! No alcohol, it's Prebyterian (not Catholic), but they had coffee, tea, water, and cakes and pies! The fellowship hall has been completely transformed into a lounge sans booze and smoke. It was a beautiful night with music, very moving...

It was great hearing the story behind the music as well, don't you wonder what the songwriter was thinking when he/she wrote a song, she sang a beautiful song about her father.
The rest of the weekend was a lot of fun, we ran around Dallas, ate wonderful food, and watched the Saints beat Brett Farve and the Minnesota Vikings to make it to the Superbowl! Who Dat!
It is always great to visit family, and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to visit with the Ray's since we missed everyone during Christmas! Thanks for coming, and next time, we'll meet you at Uncle Calvin's!
