FAMILY GET TOGETHER

Yesterday Kathy fixed a great breakfast with special toast, scrambled eggs and turkey bacon. I had lunch with an eHarmony match that reviews books for Good Readers and had an amazing background of activity including starting to college at TT in Petroleum Engineering but dropping out to get married. She still owns a small ranch south of Spur where one of her sons shot a buck and a doe yesterday. She reads extensively and knows history of the Huns that I had never heard and their influence on France and German populations.

I came back to Kathy's for an hour nap and all of her kids, including Jon-Marc who flew in from his job in Wisconsin plus a woman doctor friend of Valerie joined to hold a baby shower for Mandi. Jim and my great-grandsons were there. Keith's family members Cricket and her son Jay along with Bob and Carol Thormer. We ate Kathy's dips and brownies with home made ice cream, meat balls and fancy pasta salad from Carol while Keith bbqed chicken with his special sauce. We had a good visit with an interesting discussion of the latest cell phones. Jay works for Verizon in Dallas and Jim teaches technology in high school so we learned a lot about the latest cell phone technology.

This morning Kathy had cereal with blueberries, flax seed and banana so I felt right at home. Keith was going to take me to Randolph AFB for a special air show, but it is raining big drops and the show has been postponed until later. The storm is supposed to move on out but it doesn't seem to be letting up here at 11:07 a.m.
