Visitors in January and now again in February. I could get used to this. Papa K. and Tracy drove to see us on the 16th. I was so excited for them to come here. Like a kid at Christmas. I love it when people come to see us. They got here about 5:00 our time and Grumpy started cooking up some Chicken Stir Fry for dinner. We figured they wouldn't want to get back in the car and go out to eat after spending the day driving. We had a nice dinner and just kicked back and relaxed. Some good conversation, a little T.V. and then the sheets were calling our names.
Friday Grumpy got home around 1:00 so we went to Texas Burger for a Jalapeno/Cheese Hamburger. Oh, and can I just say they have a great ice cream station there too! After those jalapenos it was time for a little ice cream. Good Stuff. Tracy and I went back to the apt. to turn into the computer addicts we are while Papa and Grumpy headed to the Commemorative Air Force Museum for awhile. My computer is on a built-in desk in the master bdrm and hers was on the dining room table. After yelling back and forth for awhile, I just brought mine in to the dining room so we could sit and compute next to each other. That worked out well. She helped me with all kinds of things. I wish I was as smart as she is when it comes to computers. I had to laugh at our 3 ipads sitting around the apt. All with the same covers on them. Too funny!
Yes, we spent lots of time in our jammies. I can't think of a better way to spend most of a day than in my jammies working on the computer. Crazy, I know. Friday night we ate at home, BLT's plus avocado on croissants. I love sandwiches. Saturday I finally finished cutting the fringe on a quilt I was making for a friend's new baby. My first rag quilt. Everyone I talked to said not to wash and dry it at home for the first time, to go to a laundromat where the commercial machines are built to take the "fall out" from all the fraying that takes place that first time laundered. So I decided to take the advice. Tracy and I headed to a laundromat while Grumpy and Papa went to tour Midland. They were done long before we were! Got that accomplished and went home to get some rest before going to our favorite (so far) restaurant here. Sho-Gun. It is a tepenyaki venue and I think a very good one. We ate there and stuffed ourselves beyond the comfort zone. Of course.
Being stuffed didn't keep us from going to the local HEB market for some ice cream on the way home. We ended up with mostly Ben & Jerry's with a little HaagenDas thrown in. There's always room for ice cream right? Tracy found a nice dutch oven there and bought it for home. I think I may be going back to get one too. I've been eyeing them for awhile, and I think I must have one. HEB is a fun place to shop. Kind of a cross between a grocery store and a Costco. I miss Costco. I love that HEB has a huge produce section and they carry really good meat too. They have great stuff and manage to keep the prices pretty reasonable.
When we were at the apt. we looked like the pics above. Good thing Papa likes to read on his ipad. We were all staring at a computer screen of some kind a lot. Got a lot done to get me set up and refining some of my skills. (yet to be proven). I am determined to learn new things.
We really enjoyed visiting and hanging out with family. It was fun to have family at church with us. We had a fried chicken dinner Sunday night and watched "Courageous". Good movie. Highly recommend it. We aren't hard to entertain, because we just like to be together. Thanks Papa and Tracy for driving to see us. They set out about 5 am on Monday morning. Grumpy went to work and I went back to bed. I still think morning should start about 10.
Good Times.
