Terrell And Kathy's Visit

Elkmont, Alabama

Weather: low 34 degrees, high 48 degrees, mostly cloudy skies, light rain late

I had a few errands to take care of in town this morning. It seemed like it took half the morning to get out, but Carolyn was having some balance problems, and I didn't want to leave her by herself. Eventually, she felt better, and I went to do my little chores.

When I got back home, it was lunchtime. During lunch, my brother Terrell called wanting directions to the house. He and his wife Kathy were in Athens, so I talked to him as he drove out to our house. We hadn't seen them since we were in Texas back in early December, and anyone that reads the blog knows that I'm always ready to visit with family.

They found the house with no problems, and we sat and talked for some time as we got caught up with what's been going on with each other. They are on their way to Texas for Kathy's monthly visit with her doctors in Houston that are treating her for cancer, and decided to detour by here on their way down. We're glad they stopped. We were able to convince them to spend the night with us.

Later in the afternoon, my sister Judy and her husband Roger stopped to visit with Terrell and Kathy. We all agreed to meet at a local restaurant for supper, which turned out to be an extended gab fest.

When we got home from the restaurant, the gab fest continued. Terrell and Kathy are going to be grandparents again, as their son Scott and his wife Chriselda are expecting their first child in June. Terrell and Kathy think the same way we do about grandchildren, which is that you can't have too many of them.

Terrell and Kathy will be leaving in the morning to continue their trip to Texas. Maybe we can convince them to stop here on their back home over the weekend. In the meantime, we enjoyed the visit.

Oh, by the way - another snow event is expected tomorrow night. Only expecting up to three inches this time. That shouldn't be too bad.

More later, be safe.
