From near Garrison, TX.
There is a T in Texas and a T in Tyler too. Herb, JoNell and Gerri and I drove to Tyler. We had lunch at iHop and then went with Herb to his orthopedic appointment. He is getting a series of shot in one of his knees to ease the pain. They have some type of thing made from rooster comb that helps replace cartlidge, Or something like that.
On the way back to Garrison we stopped at the Minden Post Office. I hadn’t seen a Post Office this small since I was a kid in West Virginia. I was born in Riverview, West Virginia. My Grandfather and I used to walk to the Post Office to pick up our mail. That Post Offoce was an old carriage house, not as big as a one car garage. Of course it’s gone now, as is the town that was Riverview. Riverview was annexed into Charleston and Interstate 64 goes over where the Post Office was.
While in Tyler we stopped at Home Depot and picked up the parts for a 50 amp outlet in Herb’s barn. So the next time we visit we will have a better power source.
When we got back from Tyler Herb took a nap and the rest of us just sat around. Glenna wasn’t feeling good. She didn’t go to Tyler, not because she wasn’t feeling good but just to stay at the coach and read. The feeling bad came later. She did come into the house with us for supper and ate pretty good. This nondescript “not feeling good” has happened once before on this trip when she had eaten hardly anything but candy all day. She said she didn’t eat any candy but she also had not been drinking any water. Hopefully this is the same thing and she will be good to go in the morning.
We had leftovers for supper and Glenna ate well.. It was better than Yesterday. I never understood why some people don’t like leftovers.
A round of Chicago and a game of Chicken Foot rounded out the evening. Gerri won at Chocago. Remember she also won last night at Chicago. Herb won Chicken Foot.
