MORE RED HATS

Everybody is having a good time.

MORE RED HATS

Today's event was hosted by Edna Majors.  Lots of food and everybody was having a very good time.   Although I didn't have a red hat, I was permitted to enter to take picture.  I did my job and left promptly.  Not often a man is permitted at a Red Hat meeting.

CLOODY'S RELAY FOR LIFE

This is the first time Cloody has participated in the walk as a cancer survivor, and she did an excellent jog.  She walked the entire route and I had a hard time keeping up with her.  The Relay For Life is an annual cancer fund raiser, and is supported by the entire community.  

We are looking forward to many, many, more walks.   

ANDY'S HOME

We are happy and thankful to have Andy home.   A simple, overnight  procedure in the hospital turned into major surgery and four days in the hospital.  The prognosis was at one time  very bleak, but our prayers were answered, and Andy made a  quick turnaround and is now on the road to recovery.  We thank Nash and Carson for all the caring help and attention given.  

 

Andy will be recovering for the next week or two, and will enjoy the much needed rest.

THE NUT CRACKERS ARE BACK

Yes, The Nutcrackers made it there and back.  It's true we drank our share of Gin, did lots of sight seeing but the verdict on Chinese cigarettes is still out.  We got lots of practice getting in and out of cars, we saw lots of windshields, and we had a brief visit with Al, which is always a treat. But most of all we got to meet Hall.  Davis had already tipped him off and he was ready for me. I never had a chance.

 

The food was a different story.  It was wonderful. Mexican, Thai, and some of Nash's specials.  The fish poached over a bed of sauteed vegetables was the ultimate.  I'm sure I only gained 10 lbs. Remember, we shall return.

DON'T FORGET TO FEED FRED 

THE HOUSTON TRIP

Cloody and I first lived in Houston it 1955 and we were impressed then and even more today.  We spent last week visiting with our children and had the most wonderful time.  We continue to be impressed with the wonderful people and the way Houston had grown over the years. 

 

*************

Although we saw many great sights, I think the high point of our trip was a visit to the Farmer's Marker on Airline Road.  We have been there many times in the past, but this visit confirmed how much I miss the fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and spices, and Mexican cooking.  You haven't lived until you have had a genuine Mexican gorditia.

THANKS TO LEE AND MICHELE

Lee and Michele Johnson took it upon themselves to add flags to the Village for Memorial Day.  I think it was Michele's idea and Lee supplied all the labor.  It was certainly a nice deed and it really gave the Village a boost for Memorial Day.   With residents like Lee and Michele, one can understand why The Village is such a nice place to live.  Thanks again.
