Playing Catchup

I didn't intend to be off the blog for so long, but it just worked out that way and now I have to play catch up.

I drove to Houston on Thursday for an AAUW "gig" Thursday night. A real treat on that trip was that I got to stay with my nephew, Alan, and his wife, Bekki. The visit was short on quantity but long on quality -- we had a great visit and the AAUW "gig" was great fun.

I got back home about noon on Friday and then Carl, J. J., Grover and I headed for my sister and brother-in-law's place on Lake Buchanan about 2:00 p.m. We stopped by our house in Horseshoe Bay to meet the exterminator and then we popped in on our neighbors for a nice visit. We got to the lake house about 7:00 p.m. and spent a lovely evening on their deck overlooking the now-full lake!

Saturday morning we started work about 9:00 a.m. and worked like little elves cleaning their house and front and back porches so that everything will be nice and welcoming for them when they come home next weekend after 6 months in Las Vegas!

Yesterday, my girlfriend (Susan) and I did some fun running around and then the two of us and our husbands cooked out together at their house last night. A fun, and delicious, thing we grilled was stone fruit (peaches, plums and apricots). YUMMO! as Rachael Ray would say
