Entertaining Friends in Our New Home

Well it is Saturday morning and the sun has peeped over the horizon before Sherri and I had a chance to get out of bed. We have to start getting up early so we will be use to the early mornings. We have not done this yet and I am sure when Monday morning comes around and it is time to roll out of bed we will have trouble getting up.

Well we have one more day of freedom before that happens. We had company today around 3:30...Mark and Dortha and Jim and Ellie came by to see Sherri's Birthday present. They came baring house warming gifts which was the nicest thing! Thank you all so much. Jim and Ellie brought us a bottle of wine and a six pack of Miller Lite! Mark Jim and I took care of the beer as soon as we got seated. Sherri is saving her wine for a later time...maybe a candle lite dinner?

Mark and Dortha brought me an air card router and Sherri a beautiful candle holder. It was such a nice thing for them to do. Sherri and I thank you so much. This puts the finishing touches to such a wonderful home to have friends visit share their time with us.

We soon became hungry and decided it was time to plan a meal. We discarded Mexican, Chinese, Italian and Applebee's so that left us with a small playing field but we all decided that Chili's would be just right because they have everything. So off to Chili's we went Mark and Dortha Jim and Ellie in one car following Sherri and I. We went north up interstate 35 to the restaurant just a short drive from the park. We were seated quickly...which was a surprise for a Saturday night but who was I to say anything!

We all got our order in and continued our conversations with plenty of laughter to go around. We had a great time and some good food too. It ended way too soon for me but then our friends had a ways to travel to get back home. This would probably be the last time we get to see these friends until March 1st at Kerrville for the "Gathering".

Dortha Mark Ellie and Jim get ready to head out to Chili's for dinner. I let Jim be in this picture even though he did not want to come...LOL. Jim had fun anyway...right Jim.

It was getting dark by the time we got to the restaurant. We hurried up and parked and got a table right off.

Don't we all look so satisfied? We had real good food and a real nice visit. Thanks guys for including us we had so much fun.

This is the mobile router that the Halls gave us. It is so nice and Dortha is going to get us up to speed on the Air Card so we will know what to do. Her and Mark have theirs now and they will be using it for the next few months and letting us know how it works. We wont get ours until we are ready to leave out in June.

I think Sherri is going to use this for the surprise candle light dinner she has planned for my birthday...

This is the candle holder and the inscription on the front reads..."A happy home is filled with love and laughter". Today our home was filled with just that....Thanks friends for being a part of our lives...May we meet often Somewhere in Time.
