Day 101
October 17, 2008
San Antonio, TX
Faith Baptist Church Parking Lot
Merrell and Chuck washed the motor home and fixed a few things this morning. When they were washing the motor home, Merrell discovered that some of the screws holding the ROOF of the motor home (I think he said it's a one piece roof that fits down over the sides of the RV or something like that??) had rusted off and the roof was loose!!! I can just see us driving down the highway and loosing our ROOF and not knowing it until we get a hundred miles down the road, can't you? Now, that would be a pretty picture, wouldn't it??? Teeheehee Anyway, Merrell had his trusty Tim the Tool Man drill with him and put new screws in the roof and everything is fine now!!! :>)
We spent the rest of the day today with Larry and his family and Mae, Regena, Howard and Irma. Larry grilled burgers and hot dogs and Candy made a wonderful Potato Salad that I had never eaten before. It had pecans in it as well as lots of other good stuff. I have the recipe and am going to try to make it at home. She also made a wonderful pineapple upside down cake. Needless to say, we all ate WELL!!!!
We played a card game for a couple of hours this afternoon and before we knew it, it was time to leave. There never seems to be enough time to do everything you want to do, but we have had a wonderful time with Larry and his family and we certainly appreciate their hospitality.
Howard and Irma left after dinner. They were heading to her sister Patty's house in Waco. We are going to go there on our way to Arlington to see Chuckie and Jan.
We are leaving in the morning and heading to Marble Falls where David and Jeannine live. Our time is passing sooooooooooooo fast. I can't believe it's already October 17th.
Can you believe that neither Carolee or I took pictures today?? We took our cameras with us, but we just didn't take any. I guess we thought we took enough yesterday to do us for a day or so!! :>)
I finally got Carolee's pictures of her grand daughter Monique and her family posted. If you want to check them out, they are in the Post where we were in Phoenix. Monique is a beautiful girl and she has a wonderful family. Ashlynn and Christian are really cute kids and are very well mannered. We didn't get to spend very much time with them, but I was so glad I finally got to meet them.
It's time to hit the sack. I'll catch you somewhere down the road.
Love, US
