Delay

We've had this date, 11/18, on our calendar for a while. Our friends Jan and Steve would return to the RGV today, to their place in Green Gate Grove. We've been walking by their lot or riding by on our bikes, seeing the empty driveway and anticipating their return. Hardy and Judy planned a welcome home dinner at Mi Challitas.

Then this morning we got the news. Their replacements would not be arriving today. In fact, the man was in the ER and possibly facing surgery. Jan and Steve were all hitched up--with nowhere to go. The dinner was postponed, and we wondered when we would see our friends. As it turned out, their company is sending temporary replacements to the gate tomorrow, so their arrival will be delayed by only one day. The dinner and welcome home party will happen tomorrow.

We went to Darryl's dance this afternoon. Jean was there, dancing with G. W., because David is home sick. Terry has returned from Canada. More and more people are gathering to form our annual Winter Texan community. It was fun to dance with Jean and Terry and catch up some on their summer adventures. Jean took a tour of Ireland. She says it was very nice, but she won't have to go back: there are no mountains.

Tomorrow morning, we have people scheduled to arrive at 7:30 a.m. to start washing and waxing the Majestic. The forecast is a 40% chance of showers, so we're hoping the rain will hold off until our rig is waxed and Jan and Steve have a chance to set up.
