Saturday, Aug. 1 - Hello Old Friend

George got a surprise phone call last week from an old friend who lives in Arkansas ... he and his wife were in Houston and wanted to come by for a visit. George and John Sullivan worked together here in Houston more than 30 years ago and were great friends "back in the day!" They had lost touch over the years, but when they saw each other, they picked right up where they left off! John & Jeanie came by the house and visited for a while, and then we all went to lunch before George had to go to therapy. George had a lot of fun reminiscing about plumbing jobs and also about the good times they had after a hard day's work! John is semi-retired now; he has owned his own plumbing company in Arkansas for many years, and his customers won't let him fully retire, so they had to head back this weekend, but we hope it's not too long before they come back to Texas and visit again!

We also had a fun visit with another one of George's former co-workers ... Karen Bradford from Klare Plumbing and her son, Derek, came over Tuesday evening. We went to Victor's for some mexican food and then came back to our house for dessert. I made a homemade angel food cake with crushed pineapple baked inside, and even though it tasted good, it all fell apart when taking it out of the pan! Derek made me feel good, however, he went back for seconds! Derek is going to come spend a day with us very soon. He is going to show George how to play some games on the Wii that I bought recently. George gets bored sitting on the couch during the day, so I thought some sport-type games would not only keep him occupied, but would possibly help rehabilitate that right hand! From what I understand, Derek is a real pro at Wii, so George will be learning how to play from the "master!" We look forward to your visit, Derek!!

There will even be more activity at the Luker household this coming week ... Lindsay & Dave and their two dogs are moving in for a few days! I have to go to Dallas on business; our corporate office is there, and I will be doing some training and having meetings on streamlining our accounting procedures. George will be in good hands with our daughter and son-in-law, and Brady will be soo happy having Macy & Cooper here to play with 24/hours a day! Have a great week ahead!!

My happiness is a small thing. Any one thing, as long as the willing, always simple. Easy to hurt others and themselves, and always away from the edge of obscure people. Desire to occupy more and more fragile. cheap uggsNo desire can only say that it is unsympathetic. A brief moment, long forever. Bird's wings in the air vibrations. It was a noisy and cold, and filled with the sound of fear. basketball shoesThe flow of an uncertain fate. People's loneliness, and sometimes difficult language.Always need some warmth. Even a little self-righteous memorial.basketball shoes Sometimes the feelings of just one person thing. Has nothing to do with anyone. Love, or do not love, can only end their. Wound to give someone else a shame, its adherence to the illusion.
