Friends Visiting

We have had an unusually busy week with visiting friends. Mac and Consuelo arrived on Saturday night. They spent Sunday with us at the Builder's Expo food booth. We served New Orleans style subs for lunch. For breakfast we had breakfast burritos (they call them tacos here in SA) and blueberry scones. We had to explain what a blueberry scone is to a surprisingly large number of folks! This population is not what one would consider culinary savvy. We served bread pudding all day long. Everyone knew what that was and it seemed to be a big hit. Mac and Consuelo were of tremendous help. We appreciated them being here. Sunday was the third day of that thing and we were pretty tired and worn out. Mac helped us break down the booth, haul scads of stuff out to the vehicles, and then unload all that stuff at our shop. It took two loads. Thanks Mac!!

Luigi and Marjorie came in on Tuesday night. They still have not sold their house. They are wanting to build on their property here in SA pretty bad. On Wednesday, Mac and Consuelo closed escrow on their new home in New Braunsfels. We and the Corsi's went to see the house and help Mac and Consuelo celebrate. Their new home is just beautiful on an acre just outside of town. We all went to the Grist Mill for a great dinner. It sure was nice having friends around us. We miss all of our friends very much. Too bad we all live so far apart.

Tonight we had dinner with the Corsi's at a Mongolian BBQ place called Hu Hot. We made up our own plates with cold food items from a buffet and they cooked our selections on a big round griddle...quite good and it was fun. We had great conversation...we enjoyed it a lot. We were there for 4 hours!!

We are going to Houston on Sunday to do some motorhome shopping. We'll let you know if we find something interesting.
