Ed: We have been at my aunt and uncles since Thursday. A black Olds followed through the the last three turns and I pulled over to let them buy, it turned out to be my cousin who had been visiting for a few days. They led us to Ray and Issey's gate and jim stopped to guide me through the gate and around the house to the place where ray had talked about having me Park the rig. One side of the circle drive has some low hanging wires. They do have plenty of land but not all of it is firm enough to support our coach.
The six of us sat up discussing family gossip and then due to having hotel reservations in New Mexico on their way back to Indiana Jim and Sally left Friday around noon for their return to Indiana.. My Aunt and Uncle , spent the day regaling Trudy and I with stories of their 72 years of married life, a large part of it was spent in Europe and the U.S. Living in MANY places during Ray's 30 year Military career, be fore moving here to the California dessert 47 years ago. They have 5.5 acres of sand cacti, Joshua trees . Ray has a great garage and work shop, in addition he built a mall cabin that Issey has used as a hobby room.
Neither of them drive any more but they still have an older car and truck that they encourage visitors to use. Yesterday I drove Ray into town to pick up their mail. They have people from the "Community Church" who transport them to Dr. appointments and such. In the Morning, I will go to Church with Ray. My Aunt has developed a serious dislike for any amount of travel, so she and Trudy are going to stay home and watch Ed Young, this surprises me because my Aunt has long displayed a degree of animosity toward the SBC, and has generally preferred "non Denominational churches. This may have to do with Many years of Military Chapels
I will pick up after visiting the Local church where the current preacher has been for 30 Years.
