Lunch With Terrell And Kathy

Ocala, Florida

Weather: low 74 degrees, high 90 degrees, partly cloudy skies, light breezes

My morning walks the last few mornings have been a little easier to handle as far as the heat and humidity. Lower temperatures help, but the breezes that have been blowing are probably doing the most to make getting out early bearable. It's been cool enough that I haven't sweated. That's saying something!

We met my brother Terrell and his wife Kathy for lunch at a restaurant that we hadn't tried before. Tommy's is a local bar-b-que restaurant located on the north side of Ocala. When we got there at 1130 hours, the parking lot was full, and most of the seating was taken. Terrell and Kathy were already there, so they had a table for us. The food wasn't bad, but in our opinion was not as good as what we can get in Texas. We're starting to get a hungry on for some good Texas food.

Over the years, we have eaten with Terrell and Kathy many times, and we always have a good time. Today was not an exception, as we stayed at the table for at least 30 minutes talking after the meal was finished. Then, we adjourned to the parking lot, where we spent another 15 minutes talking. They have moved to Tennessee, and are getting into the lifestyle up there. If my appointment with my pulmonary doctor goes well next week, we're going to go up for a few days to visit.

Yes, that's right - ROAD TRIP! We're getting stodgy and bored sitting here waiting to see doctors. It's time to take things in our own hands and go see some country. Who knows, maybe we'll see some cooler weather, or even some slight leaf changes. We're ready!

We'll be busy the next few days getting things ready to travel. If the doctor changes our minds, at least we'll have everything on the truck and RV shipshape for the first time since we arrived here. I'm disgusted with how we have allowed ourselves to vegetate since we've been here. I guess being sick is a reason, but it doesn't make me feel any better about it.

More later, be safe.
