We rang in the New Year with
Joe & Dolores - dinner and a movie - and dessert at Denny's where Millie
& Lucy take really good care of us. January also brought a very nice
surprise. Donald, a school chum (we are talking grade school here)
of Gerry's stopped by overnight with his wife Donna on their way to the
Valley. After they parked their RV by the pump house, we gave them
the grand tour, caught up on the latest news and then took them out to
Cotton's for a real Texas barbeque.
Another weekend, we went with David & Carol up to San
Antonio to check out Andy, another Clydesdale. While there we
celebrated their anniversary and David's birthday. David's sister
Catherine joined us for a great evening. In between we continued to see other friends
in Corpus, like Kenny and Angie, Terry's friend Sherrie, Terri, and George
and Linda. Sisters Amber
& Pauline came from Las Vegas to do some heavy-duty
scrapbooking at Carol's. They make thousands of greeting cards to
send for the troups to send home to their loved ones. Terry was invited to join them for
four days of intense play. Gerry joined them for evening
meals David cooked (or took us out). Maggie's mother and
aunt came for a visit and stayed on the property with Maggie (she's the
caretaker).
On very short notice, David, cook extraordinaire,
grilled hamburgers out at the property one Saturday and a diverse group of his
friends and ours that included Joe & Dolores
dropped by. It was
enjoyed by all. Another time Charlie and Della stopped overnight on their way
home to the Tyler area from the Valley. Glen & Jinny made it down for a day to check
out the two new Clydesdales (see Page 2). Ruby & J.J., Winnebago MILWIT
friends, also stopped on their way from the Valley. And
Peggy, a longtime Navy friend, finally made it out to visit and brought some friends.
