For three days and four nights Bob and I enjoyed an enjoyable vacation at Meadows Manor aka Loleen’s property. Cindy was very thoughtful in relinquishing her bed to Bob and Loleen let me use her couch for a bed.
After Michael’s and Christi’s wedding we hightailed to Lokie’s house. Naturally, we engaged in conversation catching up on all the family news. I was glad to hear that Darla and Leandro had gotten back together again; Joey matriculates at Kilgore College; Vernon is doing much better after his stroke and so is Loleen. 
Loleen is able to work in the kitchen now rather than suggesting what needs to be done to the girls. Cindy is real happy about that (Just kidding Cindy). She races her wheelchair whipping wheelies and chasing the kids around the house (Just kidding again). Actually the kids love her to death. They all want to sit n her lap. Cindy and Carla resemble their mother in their mother in that respect, i.e. holding their grandkids in their lap. On Monday night, we watched Dancing with the Stars. We all picked Wayne Newton to be eliminated. Side note: Wayne Newton lived behind Loleen on 10th Street in Phoenix when he was a kid. She saw him taking out the trash occasionally in the alley. He was already famous with the song, I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus. Oh yes, Loleen roasted a hunk of beef in her slow cooker.
On Tuesday night, John, Lucy, Cindy, Bob, Loleen and I ate catfish at the catfish place in Longview. Mmmm…muy good. We hurried home to see Wayne Newton eliminated from Dancing with the Stars. John and Lucy joined us for more family talk.On Wednesday night, we ate enchiladas at Cancun Dave’s in Kilgore. Bob hosted Cindy, Carla, Vernon, Darla, Alicia, Jonathan, Loleen and me to dinner. Bob and I had planned to leave on Wednesday morning, but instead, we imposed on Meadows Manor for another free night of boarding. Thank you Loleen and Cindy!
