Allen, Texas - Day 2

Sunday, April 16

We attended church with the Brooks' family at the Messiah Lutheran Church. On the way to church we were impressed to see police cars blocking lanes to allow cars to turn into the massive church parking lots, and there are so many churches around here!

The family returned to Bill and Linda's home where we had a beautiful meal and we were made to feel very much a part of the family. After lunch we joined in with games and then sat around chatting and getting to know everyone.

Later in the afternoon when everyone else had left Bill drove us around the Allen area to show us the biggest school in the State, and its magnificent new football stadium that holds about 20,000 people. We couldn't get over the scale of the school and its facilities, and it certainly makes Australian facilities look second rate. We also got to see Southfork Ranch where the "Dallas" tv show from the 1970s was filmed.

We ended a beautiful Easter Sunday sitting on the back porch looking out over the golf course and watching lightning bugs flying around after another lovely sunset.
