We left for New Braunfels shortly after the morning service at Taft. It was a nice service with a group of young people in Junior ROTC at Mary Carroll High School posting the flags as we honored veterans with pledges and "The Star Spangled Banner". We owe thanks to Lynne Lavender for arranging it all.
In New Braunfels we visited long-time dear friend, Les Roper, who is having some serious medical problems. His wife, Mae, and daughter, Roxanne, were both there.It was a wonderful time of fellowship and recall with a man who was simply great in reaching and helping young people in our early years in Taft.
This morning we headed for Santa Rosa Hospital in San Antonio for a visit with Mary Lou Loidl, long time friend of Ann's at Taft High School. Mary Lou has serious issues, health-wise. After that visit we drove to Floresville to the Veteran's Home for a visit with James Duprie's grandmother, Erdene Weaver. I doubt she knew who we were, but she seemed to enjoy the visit. We arrived home just after dark. Glad to be back home. When I was able to walk into the house I was grateful that was possible. It might not be tomorrow, so we should be thankful for each day given us free from debilitating problems. They will come, we know that.
