Lori And Family Arrived

Elkmont, Alabama

Weather: low 60 degrees, high 70 degrees, cloudy, windy

Lori and her family arrived here early this morning about 0100 hours. Obviously, they were tired after the long drive from Texas, so after a quick hug, they went to bed. Lori was the first one up this morning, as she's always been an early riser. Much like her parents. We got caught up with what's been going on, and then I had to go to the hospital in Athens for more medical tests. By the time I arrived back home, the rest of the family was up and stirring, so the donuts I picked up in town were welcomed.

After lunch, Lori and John went for a drive down memory lane, looking at the places that Lori remembered from the time we lived here in the 1980s. She agreed with us that Athens hasn't changed much in the last 21 years, except for the traffic being worse. It's good to know that some things haven't changed much.

Carolyn and I went to the WalMart Mall to pick up some things for supper, including a couple of pizzas. Lori's family is vegetarian for the most part, so when they visit, we have to change the way we plan our meals. Tonight's supper consisted of a large cheese pizza and a large supreme pizza, along with a huge salad that Carolyn prepared. Pretty good food.

Shortly after we moved in the new home base, I installed a wireless router so visitors could use the Internet while visiting. Today was the heaviest usage of the wifi signal yet, with four computers online at the same time. The signal worked fine, with no apparent slowdowns. Looks like the plan was successful.

More later, be safe.
