I am off for a weekend in Grapevine, Texas, for the annual Trade-O-Ree. This is an annual gathering of Boy Scout memorabilia collectors. I have been at it for a long time. I have a pretty big collection of the old Region 9 Order of the Arrow lodges. I collect patches, but there are lots of memorabilia categories which others enjoy. Part of the fun is meeting up with friends and enjoying their company.
On the way to Grapevine I stopped at the Buc-ees in Madisonville. It is our tradition to get their sliced brisket sandwiches which are unbeatable.
