pirates

Lynda and I went to a party put on by one of her doctors whom she works for. They sent out invitations for a pirate party, so we went and rented pirate costumes. Well, guess what, we were the only ones dressed as pirates. They all thought it was neat we were dressed up. We had a good time, especially with some of the little kids that thought I was a real pirate.

This past weekend I went to visit my uncle in Houston. Sister Beth and her husband Doug picked me up and drove to Corsicana to pick up my mother Sue. We drove down to Lufkin to stay the night with my other sister Neilla. Saturday we drove to see uncle Jimmy. It was a great trip with my family to see and visit with them all. We got to see my cousins Terry and Angie and some of their kids. Uncle Jimmy had a brain tumor removed and had to have radiation and chemo. He is now doing fine and getting his appitite back. At least I saw him eat two bowls of home made ice cream. I bought him some egg bread at Collins Street Bakery in Corsicana, because it is his favorite. He lit up with the warmest smile when I walked up to him with the bread. That smile was worth the trip.
The bad news we got on the trip was a good friend of Neilla and Greg's got killed in a motorcycle accident. We will all be praying for David Colley's family.
