Last night my mom Maude & dad Cristol & brother Tommy & sister-in-law Peggy drove here from Dickens, Texas (a good 6 hour trek from Rowlett up close to Lubbock) to visit. We were supposed to go home over the July 4th weekend, but the rash of ringworms nixed that idea. So it was very good to see them.
They came with food, too!!! Peggy brought potato salad & brisket. Mama brought ham, fresh tomatoes, fresh broccoli, their 1st ripe canteloupe of the summer, some bananas and some Snickerdoodle cookies. It was all wonderful.
We played 3 games of 42 or 84 or 88 or whatever it is with 6 people. I am proud to report that Mama, Peggy & I won 2 out of 3 games.
Sandy was thrilled to have new people come see him again this weekend! And these people played different games with him than the grandkids did. He really enjoyed them and I think the feeling was mutual. Mama & I took him for his early walk this morning and then everybody went on another walk around 11. He would like to have company like this ALL the time. Last night the drippings from the brisket pan got emptied onto his Iams food and boy, did it go fast!!! It's just cool having little hands here that drop a lot on the floor around her chair and now this weekend he had big hands giving him bites.
