As we were walking to the Smith's for supper (dinner), I took a few more pictures of the Signs of Christmas (an idea stolen borrowed from Snookie).
Precious Moments nativity figures.
About 5:30 PM... moon over the desert valley.
More signs of Christmas. Ms. Lollie loves displaying her Christmas trees and gifts.
Our destination, George and Karen's.
They served an appetizer we have never seen or eaten before... pickled asparagus. We loved it!
George and Karen served grilled steak, salad, okra and baked white sweet potatoes. Very delicious.
George was born in Kaufman County, Texas where I raised my daughters. George was already gone when we lived there. He met Karen in Pennsylvania when he was in the Navy, on a blind date. They have a furkid named Shorty who wanted to play a game with me... Catch LaVon's Feet When She Walks... too funny. Oh, yes, did I mention the chocolate cake and ice cream?
Thanks, George and Karen! We had a wonderful time. (I wish I had gotten a picture of Karen planting a kiss on George's cheek in response to Don's "act like you love each other" as they were standing for me to take their picture. She said, "Oh, I sure love him" and placed a tender kiss on his cheek. I got a little misty and had to swallow the lump in my throat. They've been married a long time and still love and respect each other. What a blessing they are to us.)
We are so blessed.
