Dinner guests

Real picture of our guests, Ron and Mary Lou Salmon



My attempt to get us all in the picture. I scored 31/2 stars.





I tried to resume some activity today by walking a bit. I ended up at the coffee table for another bit. I tried to invite the folks from NC for boudin and brisket sandwiches this evening but they were gone. I did leave a note. We hustled off to Mexico to get a haircut and a pedicure. We also got some medicine for one of our neighbors as well as some Kahlua and other coffee licquer. Evelyn wanted some T-shirts for the Beeli boys and we got those. We also stopped to order a painted vase for Stan and Linda as a house gift. We were in quite a hurry to get home so Evelyn could go to volunteer at the hospital. She had already cancelled me out so I could rest. I took her to the hospital and went to the motor home but the renters weren’t there. I went to Wal-Mart to try to exchange the watch that doesn’t work but I didn’t have a receipt nor the UPC code. He couldn’t find the item in the computer record. I went to HEB and got one of their six pack carriers to transport the Kahula, etc. to the West. I came home and took a nap. The NC people called and said they couldn’t come. I took one link of boudin to them and returned home. I went to get Evelyn and passed one of our neighbors walking her dog. I asked if they would come for brisket sandwiches and she accepted. Evelyn came home and relaxed for an hour while I removed the meat from the buns. That was a difficult activity. I cleaned the table so we could eat outside and then they came. We enjoyed a beer, chips and the brisket. That is all we had but also some good conversation. The blessing of the Lord in this was that they agreed to allow me to ride with them to the golf outing tomorrow. We will leave tomorrow morning at 7:45. They have traveled many of the same places we have and may come to NC during the summer. We had tentatively planned to go to the dance but they did not leave until 8:30 and we thought it too late to go dancing so we didn’t.
