The folly of fantasies

We didn't have much time this morning. I went to the hall for coffee because the man I wanted to see was there. Tom Crouch and I talked and decided that they will come to lunch Saturday. He hesitated because he is having problems with his teeth and can't eat chewy food. Our menu is mostly soft so they will come. We went off to Harlingen to take our nice renters from Regina to lunch at Sauza's buffet. It was all Mexican food and very good. We took a sweeper with attachments, hoping they would clean the unit before they leave next week. We then went shopping, ending up at Hobby Lobby where Evelyn continued to pursue her fantasy of making a sitting area in the back yard. She bought an arch trellis that is more than six feet tall. She is going to plant climbing vines to hide the view of electrical wiring. I would have thought she would have learned the folly of this from my fantasy of making a grape arbor over our walk way in the back yard in Indiana. That failed for several reasons. I think this one will fail because it will rarely be used. Oh well, she probably wastes less money than I because, for one thing, she never plays golf. :-) We came home, took a nap and a walk to see if our friends, who took a trip to Israel, have returned as yet. We want to hear their experiences. We spent the evening computing and ironing. We had only popcorn since we had eaten a large lunch. The weather was very pleasant today and is supposed to continue throughout the weekend. We are closing in on time to begin packing to leave around April 20.
