The gang is all here

 

Ahhhh! another beautiful morning out there...I think...it is still dark and I hear Sherri down stairs fixing the coffee. I opted out to lay there for a few more...then the aroma of coffee started filtering through the bedroom and I had to follow it. She had my cup out and ready for me to pour. I have to be the luckiest man in the world today!

Here we are waiting for the rest of our friends to show up. This will be a great weekend for sure. Mark and Dortha are coming up from the south...John and Brenda are coming in from the north...and Deb and Rod trucking east and soon all will converge on our location. Sherri, Sandy, Weldon and I are settled in here waiting on their arrival.

The first to arrive are Brenda and John. We all headed out to great them. Hugs were exchanged and Weldon and Sandy were introduced to the two of them...whom by the way had been long lost friends over the Internet for some time. How great is it to meet folks you have been chatting with for years and now you are shaking hands with them. This is a great life style...I don't care what you say!

Next was Mark and Dortha. We converged on their site to welcome them and then backed off while they got set up. Soon we were all gathered in a circle to visit. Soon all the stories were told some flowered up and some just down right true. We laughed and snaked for some time. Not too much later the last of our party came rolling in. Deb and Rod had arrived from a long journey from Abilene. Once again hugs and hand shakes were traded and then we retreated so they could get set up.

It did not take them long to get their things in order and they came over to join in the visit and story telling. We sat around until dark and decided it was time to head into town to get some dinner. Mark and Dortha knew of a BBQ restaurant that we could get some good food at. We all piled into two cars...guys in one and gals in the other...and off we went to eat.

We had a great meal and continued to tell stories and laugh until we all hurt! We over stayed our welcome at the restaurant and when we saw them locking up the kitchen we knew it was time to get going. Back in the cars and we were off.

We visited for a short while upon our return but eyes started to get heavy and we all decided to call it a night...
