Ruminations

Belle's daughter from Missouri came down this weekend for a visit, bringing her husband and two granddaughters.  They got here Friday morning and left this morning after breakfast.  It was good to see them.  The husband is an old soldier, having served both in the 25th Infantry division and the 5th Infantry division..   We have things to talk about.  He also likes Scoth whisky.

The great-granddaughters, both 10 years old, had never seen an in-ground pool. They were amazed, and spent several hours in the pool Friday and Saturday.  I am amazed that they are not sunburned, but they are not.

Of course, grandma cooked all weekend.  On Friday, it was chicken-fried steak with mashed potatoes and white gravy.  On Saturday, it was crawfish etouffee with rice, a salad, and fried fruit pies for dessert. PawPaw was showing off, too.  I showed off my selections of single-malt whisky, which is fairly depleted as of today.

The kids left this morning about 9:00.  Missouri calls.  Belle and I ate Popeye's for lunch.  Right now, I'm into some bonded bourbon, thinking about the benefits of family, and the pleasures of a working AC system.
