Visit to Ed

 8-11-2021 - Wednesday

Another late start morning, but we did get a little shopping done in Bloomington -- a stop at Best Buy for a new GPS for the Jeep, and a stop at Walmart, as usual.  Then we made our way over to Joe and Cathy's office to charge the new GPS.  We got the call from Ed that we had been waiting for, and headed over to Mooresville for a visit with him.  He's not doing well, but it was good to get to see him -- it had been a long time, and we have a long friendship with him.  He and Nancy have a lovely home here, on almost 2 acres.  They have a really nice deck in the back that I didn't get a picture of.  It took almost an hour to get over to their place, a lot of road construction around I-69.

We got back to Bloomington about 6:00 and met up at Cathy and Joe's place.  They have a chair that Joe would really like to put in the RV, and it would actually fit into my color scheme at the house.  Not a recliner, but it was very comfortable.  Cathy said it was made in Canada -- too bad we can't just run on up there and pick one up.

Cathy and Joe have a real flower garden going on, both in the front and back yards.   Another pandemic accomplishment.  The bench behind them belonged to Joe's father.  I didn't get any picture of their flowers, but Dixie would be jealous.

We went to a dinner at a Mexican restaurant, and the colors there would have competed with their flowers.  It was very, very bright!

these are the chair backs

We enjoyed a great meal and great company, but it got late.  It was 10:00 by the time we got back to the RV, and it is very dark out here.  Fortunately, we did find the camper.

We need to get an earlier start tomorrow because we have a road trip planned.  Hot and humid today, same for tomorrow.
