FRIENDS AND FAMILY WEEKEND
Friday night our daughter Kathy came in followed by our son Mark and his wife Mary Kathryn Saturday morning. Kathy spent the day cooking fancy special gift items from three Christmas gift cookbooks. She was preparing gifts for her husband to give to his contractors. We got to sample them. They were fancy and good. Son Mark helped me get a lot of projects done in preparation for a predicted cold week. He cut up three or four fallen trees and then split the large ones so we have a stack of wood to last for more than a week although some of it will burn in a flash. Then he carried the corn to refill the deer feeder and helped me clean leaves off the fish pond and treat for algae. Mary Kathryn made a great chicken noodle soup that we ate all weekend. Lou even ate a little. Then MK made a great breakfast this morning of fancy toasted bread with scrambled eggs combined with two kind of sausage from the Butcher Block in Bryan where they were visiting her brother last weekend. They left this morning after I went to teach SS. They had hoped to go to church but needed to get back home. Kathy stayed to wash all the bedding and take care of the kitchen and stayed with Lou until her friends came in.
At noon Joyce Roach driving her mother's classic car brought Phyllis Bridges from TWU in Denton and Fran Vick from Dallas to see Lou bringing gifts and food. Kathy left when they got here at the same time I got home from church. The good news at church is that we will get an interim pastor to serve from January to June. He is a retired minister originally from Sweetwater who lives in Houston where his wife still works.
The first gift I saw for Lou was a blue ball cap that says White House staff member. Fran also brought her a copy of her new book Literary Dallas plus a copy of Texas Almanac for me for my office. Their food was fantastic. Fran had a special Napa Valley wine from Meeker who was a UT grad that she had visited in Ca. Joyce had a cheese dip and fancy crackers, Phyllis made an excellent almond chicken casserole and deviled eggs and Fran had made individual chocolate meringue and vanilla meringue pies without pie crust. As a confirmed chocoholic I was one happy eater. Lou ate a few bites but is having trouble eating. She is still in a lot of pain and after trying to eat a few bites tonight lost it all by nausea. She took a nausea pill and feels a little better. She took a pain pill about an hour ago. And right now the Cowboys are ahead so she is happy.
