It's been a family-filled weekend, that's for sure!
In the afternoon Charles and Cherish - plus Aries, of course - came in town to see Alex while he's here:
BTW, it's not only yappy little dogs who like to play with those things, and to chase laser lights:
Yesterday was also Alex's 28th birthday so Don and I met him at Mom and Dad's for club sandwiches and chocolate cake. First, however, there were cards and a few small gifts:After that Alex and I went to the monthly "Dessert and Improv" performance, featuring Curtis Needs a Ride:
It's truly an ill wind that blows no one good, for Hurricane Ike chased Don's aunt, Norma Ruth, from Port Arthur up to his brother's house in Haslet, so we took Norma Ruth's brother, Richard, and Jonathan to see her. Last time at least Don, Jonathan and I had seen her was in the summer of '90, on our way back from DisneyWorld, and it was the first time we'd seen Katie Elena since she arrived home with Joe and Helen when they adopted her from Guatemala (or "Guacamole", as Joe teases her):
That's her with Tuxedo. She's a week younger than Hannah....won't it be wonderful when Hannah comes home for good next summer? The girls will have such a super time together, I've no doubt.
Jonathan, Joe, and Don (who is not looking especially enthusiastic about having his photo taken):
Richard, Norma Ruth, Don, Joe, and Katie Elena.When we left a band of the erstwhile Ike was moving over us, bringing rain and wind. Looks as if we might get some more as the evening progresses.
This IS north Texas, right? Yesterday Lubbock got 7" of rain from Tropical Storm Lowell, and today Fort Worth is seeing some rain from Hurricane Ike.
