We found a nice campground south of
the city and used the Saturn to visit everyone. This time we hooked up
with friends from Corpus Christi who live here now. Angel, an accountant,
and Terry bartered their services for a number of years. Angel and Herb
drove into the city from the outlying area where they live to have dinner with
us. Three of sister Maxine's daughters, Joni, Jody and Jewell met us
for lunch another day and brought pictures for Terry to scan to add to our
treasure trove of family pictures. The folks at Applebee's were very
accommodating in letting us set up the computer in a corner.

At the Mall of America with Gene
and Ramona, Terry browsed the largest scrapbook store she has ever been in
(and bought a thing or two). Gene also treated us to a fabulous
breakfast that he whipped up at home (with a little help from Ramona).
Because we did not have
exactly firm travel plans, our chance to see Gerry's nephew, Tom, meant
running out to where he was in the midst of a wood firing seminar and we got a
bit of an education in the process. The kiln had to be heated to above 2
thousand degrees and maintained for a specific length of time, requiring round
the clock attention. Gerry spent the afternoon with him and drove back
home with him where Jan had a feast underway.
