The Donaho's

We were able to spend Father's Day weekend at the ranch with Zane's parents, along with Erin, Jason, Atlee & Emery. It was a beautiful weekend, with perfect weather. Rain storms here are too rare, and we experienced 2 or 3 over the weekend. Temps stayed in the low to mid 70s all weekend, until Sunday afternoon when we headed home (then it got toasty). Garrett and Atlee were busy and inseparable. They played some baseball. G pitching...  Atlee batting...

I want to stay with Nettie for at least 5 days".  See how difficult it is to leave our children? :) Annette and I met in Irving, where we did the switcheroo of kids and cars. I drove back to Mansfield ...
