Luau

Tonight, the beat of my heart (Kathy) and I will go to Tyler, Texas for a luau-themed party. We will be the guest of Charles and Scarlett Drane, the notable socialite couple in Palestine. Should be a lot of fun. I'll update this after I return.

Esta noche, el latido de mi corazón (Kathy) y voy a ir a Tyler, Texas, para un luau-fiesta temática. Vamos a ser el invitado de Carlos y Scarlett Drane, la pareja notables socialité en Palestina. Debe ser muy divertido. Voy a actualizar esto después de que yo regrese.

In other news(?), I'll be heading to Dallas to catch up with some very dear friends from the past: Patty and Lanelle. We were quite a team a few years back. I'm sure they haven't aged as badly as I have. Of course they started out a lot better looking than me anyway. Should be a ball. I'll also see Charles II this weekend. That's a good thing for many reasons and on many levels. Catch ya later!

...and the Living is Easy.

Continuing our side trip: Charles has been living in trailer for a couple of days to get accustomed to it. He likes it. He's got his "nest" started. He's even had guests over. Friday night he'll be a Dallas resident. Time has flown- seems like it was only 21 years ago he was being born and now... Oh...wait...that WAS 21 years ago.

On the Nickel Church, the real subject of this self-centered blog, we close on Tuesday. Money set. The Williamsons have been cleaning it out with great energy. I really appreciate their efforts. There will be an estate auction in the building Saturday. Wish I could be there; there are a couple of things I'd like to snag. Oh well.

BTW, is anybody out there reading this stuff, or am I just self-indulgently talking into the mirror?

Thanks a Lot...in Dallas

To continue the last post from before. Today, Saturday, all three of us packed into the Prius and headed to Dallas to find a lot for my son's new trailer. We looked at several. After pretty much settling on one as a "temporary only" choice, we were headed out of town and BAM...we found a great spot, signed up, and we're done. One more problem off the table. But, man! it's been a loooong week.

Side Adventure

Well, we took a short break from our frantic lives for a merely hectic week. Today we bought our son, Charles, a travel trailer to live in when he moves to Dallas to start at the KD Studios Acting Conservatory and College. We hope that when he finishes we'll be able to sell it to recoup some of our expense. Rent- down the drain. Of course he wouldn't take the plain, slightly smaller one...that would be too convenient. But truly we'll get a better resale price for this. Oh, we travelled all over the county looking at trailers big and small, old and new. Kudos by the way to my best friend Jim Vincill for all his help. You da' man!
