We chased storms from El Paso to Houston, only seeing the water that the rain had left. Being Arizona boys, we wanted to see rain. When we left Houston, the rain followed us all the way to Kilgore, which is about 200 miles from Houston.
Thank the Lord for cell phones. I was able to keep my sister, Loleen, apprised of our whereabouts. We reached Kilgore around 4:00 p.m. We sat and talked with Loleen until dinner time. Bob and I helped her and Cindy cook tacos. After dinner, we watched the finals of Dancing With The Stars and American Idol. Our favorite, Apollo, won Dancing With The Stars. Tonight, May 23, we will find out if our favorite, Jordin Sparks from Glendale, Arizona, wins American Idol. (Later note: she won.)
Loleen's house never lacks visitors, John, Lucy and Candi, stopped by to say, "Hello." Darla was in and out of the house. She brought her son, Jonathon, with her. Joey and Cindy now live with Loleen. Joey will be staying with his father while Bob and I are visiting. Thank you Joey.
On Wednesday morning, Angie, Jack, Cassidy and Trey came to visit. Darla was back again. She is in the midst of divorcing her husband. 
I go to the Randolph C. Watson Library on Kilgore College's campus to use their wireless Internet connection, which is free. I took my laptop which has the ability to connect with wireless connections. I checked my emails several times during my stay in Kilgore. Across the street from the library is the museum of the famous Kilgore Rangerettes.
During the day, Bob and I run several errands, we shop at Brookshire's to buy ingredients for Bob's potato salad. Loleen had requested his potato salad. She had eaten it previously and raved about it. Bob wants to make it on Thursday; let it sit overnight in the refrigerator to infuse the flavors; and serve it on Friday night at Joey's graduation party.
Wednesday night is enchilada night at Cancun Dave's. Bob and I treated Carl, Jr. and his family, Cindy, Joey, and Loleen to enchiladas, beans and rice. When I am in Kilgore on a Wednesday night, it is a tradition to eat enchiladas at Cancun Dave's.
On Thursday, we go to Joey's graduation. Loleen had to take her wheelchair because she is unable to walk very far due to her knee replacement. It was a fun evening. Joey's last name is White and the diplomas were awarded in alphabetical order. He was one of the last to receive his diploma. Candi, my nephew John's daughter, plays in the band so it was necessary for her to go. She graduates next year.
