Our Friends from Back Home

Dan and Helen live across the street from us back home. Their son Jim, his wife Angie, and their extended family live out here, not too far from us. While we were home this summer, we heard that they would be coming out for a family wedding Thanksgiving week and had invited them to call us while they were here. They called this morning and the four of them came out around noon today. Before they left, we had this shot taken of the four of us.

We showed them around our place.

The seven of us went to Elvira's for lunch. You may remember this place because I posted a couple of photos the first time Rich and I ate there a couple weeks ago. It has all that colorful hand-carved, hand-painted furniture from Mexico. They all loved the decor, took lots of pictures, and enjoyed the food too!

They had brought a cake so we came back to our house for dessert and to continue our fun, lively conversation. What great folks to spend an afternoon with...so fun!

How lucky we are to have such great friends back home and to be making new ones here. I pinch myself every day to see if I'm just dreaming!
