Visiting The Tim Jones Family in Dalhart, Texas

September 7 – 14, 2006

Delton’s brother Tim and his family (wife Kim and sons Carson and Grayson) recently moved to Dalhart, Texas from Decatur, Texas. We were happy to stop and visit them on our way back to Texas. As luck would have it, Delton’s Mom Josie, and two of her sisters, Betty and Ruth, were visiting Tim and Kim at the same time. We played a lot of “Murder” (a board game) and ate lots of good food.


Tim retired from the Navy last year and has taken a job as the anesthetist for the hospital in Dalhart. Many patients with serious medical problems are taken to a larger city for treatment, so Tim’s work schedule is light and varies greatly from week to week. He has a lot of free time.

Since Dalhart is a small town, there is not a lot to do there. They must even travel to Amarillo (about a 1 hour drive from Dalhart) to go to Wal-Mart. But, they have found a very worthwhile activity – GOLF! Delton was very happy to help Tim, his wife Kim and their son Grayson with the basics of golf. We played often while we visited them and can easily see that with all the time they are spending on golf, they will be winning any Jones Family Golf Tournaments in the future. SORRY – we have no pictures. We kept forgetting to bring our camera to the golf course.

We enjoyed our visit a lot but missed seeing Carson. Carson is a freshman at A&M. Too bad he didn’t go to a good school like Texas or Texas Tech!!!!!!!!!
