COMPANY

Our Company is gone right now.

 

A bit after 9:30 Company arrived looking for German pancakes and all the trimmings. There were only 7 of us--Larry, Linda and the three KEITHS.  The Shields have football and a wedding etc. so they did not come.  They seemed to enjoy their breakfast and I know we enjoyed them.  Larry and Linda  left after a few hours (and Larry cleared the table and put all of the dishes in the dish washer!!! ) Linda says he does this at home also (sometimes before she gets thru eating)  There is a Harvest dealy in J.  and then Larry's performance was coming up (and again tomorrow).  So Keith and the Kidlets left --to let the Kidlets off at the Sheilds and Keith was going to The Larrys to shower etc.  They plan to come back here to eat later.  We talked and talked about eating out or eating here and we decided to eat here.  L & L will not be coming--busy In J.  So Elmer dear and I made a meal --ready for when Keith etc. return--more about that later.

 

Well Keith had quite a time getting into Medford yesterday.  The plane was late!!!  --so instead of arriving at 3:25--it was after 4.  And in Seattle he had talked to a Redcap (and tipped him plenty--and the fellow talked so long--stories etc. he missed getting the luggage on the plane.) They could pick it up at midnite last nite--but instead they picked it up this am.  So all of that caused a bit of confusion.

 

So about 5 or so last evening all 13 of us-including the Shields  ate at a Mexican Rest. in Jacksonvlle.  A REALLY NICE FAMILY runs it and they are very busy--also left off the HOT STUFF for us.--

 

Our driveway and patio etc. had more leaves--mostly a lot of small stuff--and as soon as the Co left--here was Ron blowing and blowing--what a neighbor.  We have been having a bit of rain last nite again. 

 

Caedmon (I suppose his Folks will have to tag along) is arriving this very next Thursday.  We haven't had so much excitement in a long time.  And then L & H will be down for a weekend.

 

Elmer is holding up quite well.  He is down for a nap/rest right now.  Keith will have to tell about what he thought his Gpa would be like after  not doing so well but he is still wearing his hi-top boots and also uses a crutch to go up and down the steps--because his ankle will not bend much.  He helps me A LOT.

 

We are enjoying our family--everyone is so kind.  I asked Katie if she would like to live down here and she hesitated and then said in her quiet little voice--she would miss THE MALLS in Seattle--10 years old--that girl is.

 

The sun is shining--very nice out.

 

Until next time--gg
