More thoughts

It is a wonder everyone in the Houston area is not sick. The weather is so fickle. One day it is in the 30's, the next day it is the 70's, the next day it is the 30's again. It is cold here again this morning.

When I got up yesterday morning it was in the low 60's. Within 30 minutes the temperature had dropped 12 degrees. The wind out of the north. What a change.

Saturday was warm and windy, so I changed the ABS sensor on the rig. It went well after I went down to the auto parts store to buy a 12 point 8mm socket. I have 4 or 5 8mm sockets, but none were 12 point. Brenda was in the office all day.

Sunday we went to church then onto breakfast with Val & Tony. We had to go to Rayford to drop off our time cards, and we decided to visit with Jay & Stella. While we were there Tommy & Susan came in, so we went over to their rig and visited with them. It was good to see them again.

We left there to go to St Anthony's for a choir recital in the church. There were the bell players, a childrens choir, as well as several of the regular church musicians. Bishop Rissoto presided over the whole program with the pastor at his side. All in all a good afternoon. One of our nieces, Pui Yee, is in the choir.

Yesterday, we cleaned the house. Boy, it is hard to figure how this place can get so dirty with just two people and a cat, but it does. We then decorated for Christmas, put up the tree and the Nativity set that my son had sent us from Nicaragua. Not too much decorations as we are going to take the coach over to Rayford in less than 2 weeks for New Years, and we have to take everything down to move the coach.

Brenda needed to go to Kohl's for some Christmas shopping, so after we went there we were close to Rayford and decided to go see if our checks were there and to visit Jay & Stella. Jay was gone getting his brakes on the truck fixed. We visited with Stella until his return. We decide that we were hungry so we all went to Sweet Tomatoes for dinner. It was good as always. I personnally love salads.

Greg and Dawn, our friends from Canada, left yesterday, and we will miss them. They are going to the Vancouver, BC area where both have jobs. We hope to see them again while we are in the Seattle area in the fall.

Ta ta for now
