Movin to Texas!

Downtown Burkburnett TX (as seen from atop the grain elevator)

It's transfer time for Pat. In his email he told us where he'll be spending at least the next six weeks. It's the little town of Burkburnett, Texas. Here are some facts:
July 2007 population = 10,554
Location = just south of the Red River and the Oklahoma State line
13.4 miles northwest of Wichita Falls, TX
Elevation = 1057 feet
Land area = 9.51 square miles
population density = 1110 people per square mile (low)
February avg daily high temp = 55
February avg daily low temp = 32

If you'd like to compare your town to Burkburnett you can go to this link and put in your own town/city name. It makes for some interesting reading!

You scared me too...Glad Pat is doing well. It sounds like a nice area. Next time you get to email him, tell him we said hello.

I know you guys will be here for a while, but when more grandchildren start coming, you may not be able to resist. Till then, we will feel secure!

No winter coats for Pat this year!

you fooled me for a second too (and I even knew Pat was being transferred to Texas!)--Dad's spent so much time in Texas over the past year, that it is reasonable that you might be moving there. I thought how strange it was that you hadn't called us to let us know before you posted about it. Looking at your post, of course now everything makes sense.
