We got up got our showers dressed and then headed down stairs to drink some coffee and eat some breakfast. We finished our coffee and got on the road about 6:15.
It was an uneventful drive in and the sun was just coming up. We could see it through the trees as we drove along the highway. The temp outside said 34 and it was dry for a change. I used the cruise going in and just sat back and enjoyed the scenery. Sherri read the map looking for a route to Daingerfield to meet Carol and Richard for dinner. Richard is Sherri’s brother and he lives just outside of Avenger Texas. We do not get to see them very often so this was going to be a convenient time to meet up with them for dinner and a short visit.
We got off work about 4:30 and called them to let them know we were getting off 30 minutes early. Being early meant we had to wait a short time for them to get to the Brookshire’s where we had parked to meet them. This gave me time to take a short nap and ready myself for some good food.
They arrived about 10 minutes after we parked and we discussed where we would eat. Richard knew of a good Chinese Restaurant just down the street from where we were so we headed over there.
The parking lot was nearly empty which made me wonder if the food was really that good? Once inside the aroma told me that it was going to be a good place to eat. I was not disappointed either…I ordered the combo plate of chicken and broccoli with rice egg roll and sweet and sours.
We had a real nice visit with them and before we knew it we had to part ways. Hugs were exchanged and so long for a whiles. We have always been a close family and as we all got older we parted ways to live in different parts of the state. Now we look forward to all of us getting back together now and again to visit.
We arrived back at the motel room about 7:30. Sherri took her shower and then we put together a spice rack for practice. Tomorrow we have to assemble several for the spice set at the store. This way we will know how to do it before we get there.
Time to climb into bed now and get some sleep before the trip back to DeKalb. Tomorrow it all starts over for the last time this week. We have one more night to stay here and then back to Lewisville to pick up our home. I can’t wait to get back in my house…
