Vincennes (Monday)

At church yesterday, Sheryl invited me to join their regular Monday lunch with some of my  former Decker classmates, so I got to see a couple of them, and we shared a few laughs.  Meanwhile, Joe, along with Judy, took his mother to the doctor for her appointment.  I probably had a better time than he did.  Fred came out and joined Judy, and more family arrived in the afternoon -- Rachel, Cathy and Dixie.  I made a batch of coney sauce and potato salad, so food was available as people drifted in.  Even Mike and his family stopped by after the kids' baseball game, and we fed Mike too. 

Having some furnace issues today, so we had her propane filled but that didn't help, so we had to call a furnace repair man out.  Unfortunately, he didn't have the right parts with him.  Fortunately, it isn't too cold so the house didn't get too cold.  We are hoping he shows up today with parts, but we do have warmer weather in the forecast (along with the chance of thunderstorms, of course).  

With this many people,the evening entertainment was the euchre card game (6-handed this time).  A lot of laughs there too -- in fact, we had Fred in tears a couple of times.  A lot of confusion always goes on during these card games, along with a lot of conversation. This went on until about 11:00 p.m., then Fred and Judy went home, everyone inside went to find a bed, and we retired to the luxury of our RV.
