I can't believe my last post was July 4. Since then the rain has stopped, Lou is working on her memoir book, and we had a rare weekend with both of our children and their spouses visiting with no grand or great-grand children.
Kathy and Keith came Friday night with Mark and Mary Kathryn coming Saturday. Keith sharpened the blades on the tractor mower and used both the tractor and the riding mower to mow all around the Halsell House and our house. Mark and Mary Kathryn brought hand picked blueberries from up near Gainesville plus peaches from the Parker County Peach Festival. We had blueberry pancakes for breakfast Sunday after eating fresh hand frozen peach ice cream Saturday afternoon. Sue and Ike came out to enjoy that treat.
All of them came to Church Sunday to hear our new pastor, Rev. Margaret Friend, preach. They approved. Kathy cooked a specially flavored pork roast with potatoes and a tasty gravy for Sunday lunch. We had Lou's brownies to go with the overnight frozen peach ice cream. Lou and I were the fortunate recipients of enough peach ice cream to last all week.
Lou is really busy. She is cleaning out and throwing away stuff. She has a manuscript to read for TT Press and has been researching her files for information on her memoir chapter on HER WORK. She has a lot of photos, letters and files on all of the authors as well as the many letters from Bill Shearer encouraging her on that book. Should be a good chapter.
We are back walking. Lou is walking to the front gate and sometimes down the highway a little ways. I am doing the 2 mile trip. Saturday morning Keith walked with me while we watched my slim daughter jog all around us. She has lost a lot of weight and is looking more like her high school days as a drill team captain.
We had all wanted to attend the Cisco Dinner Theater production of THE SANTA CLAUS BANK ROBBERY, but it was sold out for every performance including an added day. We can remember the original production.
Dotty, Mark's dog, enjoyed running and playing but the fox family didn't appreciate her intrusion on their territory. She didn't bother them and they didn't come out while she was here.
