It was a great weekend. Joe and I, as was Cassie and Xavier were disappointed we had to miss Jiggle Jam. There was a very good reason. My sister, Betty, who lives in Georgia was flying in for a visit. I had not seen her in awhile and really wanted to have a chance to visit with her.
First, Joe surprised me by arriving on Wednesday instead of Thursday night from Wichita. I was SSSOOOOO excited to see him. I went to work on Thursday, made some lesson plans for my three classes for Friday.
Friday, Joe and I left to Austin. My sister's flight from Georgia to San Antonio was scheduled for Thursday at 9:30 P.M. but due to inclement weather in Georgia, it was delayed, and delayed, and delayed. Her plane took off at 4:30 a.m. and arrived at 6:30 a.m. My sisters, Janie and Mary picked her up and brought straight to Joe's Bakery where they met up with my brother Barney. Joe and I arrived in Austin around 2:30 p.m. and were surprised to see my brother Daniel visiting as well. Hungry, we all climbed into the Suburban and took off to Lockhart for brisket and sausage! Yum! Yum!
Joe and I ended up staying the entire weekend at my niece, Michelle and her husband, Roger's home. We truly appreciated that wonderful invitation. On Saturday, we had breakfast at my sister's Janie's home. Around 12: 00 noon we left to my brother Barney's home where he out did himself...again with barbeque and all the fixings. That evening we were invited to my niece, Angelina and her husband's home in Kyle where we were served spaghetti and some wonderful dessert. We played lotteria with their oldest son, Javier and he won (on a borrowed dime) nearly two dollars from us!
Sunday, we got up early and left to Beeville, Texas to go and visit my only living Uncle. My mother had nine brothers and three sisters. There are only two remaining siblings. Seven of my nine uncles are WWII and Korean War Veterans, including my own dad.
It was a great visit and I was surprised he decided not to live alone anymore and had checked himself into a nursing home where he could have more human interactions. He was very thrilled to see us and as we were to see him. Thank God he is doing well. He will be 90 on October 17.
On Monday, Memorial Day, Joe and I returned back to Dallas but first we dropped off my brother Daniel in Temple.
Tuesday, Joe left back to Wichita, Kansas so he can get ready to go to work on Wednesday.
All in all, it was a very productive weekend. I am glad I had the opportunity to visit with my son Albert and daughter Sarah and son-in-law Gui, sisters and brothers, uncles, nieces, nephews (great ones too).
