Visitors welcome

[Today’s run: rest day]

We had a very nice day today.  It started out with pancakes.  Then we had an excellent sermon in  church this morning.

Then we had some visitors today. My uncle Lee and cousin Brian have been working over in Tuscaloosa and they came over.  We had a lot of good conversation and went out for lunch.  I’m not sure how it ended up that uncle Lee paid for the lunch.  But I try not to struggle too hard when someone shows an inclination to feed me.

Uncle Lee and Aunt Barb are some of the most generous people I have ever met.  That is a fact.  I have asked them to do things for me, and they jump right up as if that is the best idea they have heard all day.

Cousin Brian and I used to do a lot together when we were boys.  He is, I think, two years younger than I am, maybe a few months either way.  He is very fit, into a lot of bicycling.  He and Melinda were getting all about fitness gear and the poor posers at the gym, etc.  That was fun.  Uncle Lee and I just let them have that part of the conversation.

We had a very nice lunch, came back to the house and talked for a bit longer.  Then they were back on the road to return to Tuscaloosa.

I didn’t take any pictures of our visitors, and they may not want their mugs on my blog anyway.   But I do have this picture from our recent trip to the Northeast.  This was in Connecticut.  I was trying to remember why I took it.  I remember, it was because the curb was cut granite.  I thought that was interesting for a residential street.
