More smoothies! This time Corinne gets one. Delish!
We've been on the road more than two weeks now! We miss all our friends and family.
In the evening we meet Bob's friend from the Air Force, Johnnie Warner. He has not seen him since 1965. Johnnie brings his wife Elizabeth, who is very personable. Johnnie is just the same, with his characteristic expression: "Gollee!"
They treat us to a Tex-Mex dinner and then to the Texas Opry in Magnolia, TX. They are regulars once a month and this is the Fourth of July Special Celebration. All is decked out in flags and most of the patrons as well as the singers are wearing red, white and blue.
The Opry is very cool. A DVD is filmed and Johnnie will be mailing it to us. All patriotic songs, or songs about the states. Very moving, actually. Bob jokes: "I'll make a conservative out of you yet!" Yeah, right!
We are treated to home-made apple pie at the Opry. We get one of the last remaining pieces.
There were very limited fireworks here last night because the area is in a drought and overhead fireworks were forbidden, although a few snuck through.
Good show, good times, and good friends that Bob hasn't seen in 44 years.
Tomorrow we head back to Dallas for an overnight to help my mother-in-law Ruth Stern with some more paperwork and have dinner with Uncle Arthur and Aunt Helen Stern.
