Guy and I went on a 3 day trip to Sweetwater. We just got back in time for Kaylee's third birthday party. We had a very nice time. First of all a lady I had met a few years before that told me any time I came down just for a few nights I could stay in one of her rent houses free of charge. Now how many people would offer that? She has lots of rent houses completely furnished with flat screen TV's and washer and dryer and all bills paid. Even Wi Fi. You can't beat that.
The first time I met Beverly we had moved into one of her rent houses. It was a hot day in August and we were unloading the moving truck. She brings over a silver tray with three glasses of tea in fancy glasses. A sprig of mint in the glasses. Beautiful serving tray with glasses. I had seen things like this on TV but never in real life.
Anyway this trip we were getting settled in the house and a young girl brings over towels for us . A little later she bring s pillow. Then zipper bags of ice. Beverly does make people know how to feel at home.
First night there we went to Mrs. Allen's who is famous for her fried chicken. I love the potato salad. We were sitting there eating and in walked Joie. She waved at me . Came over and looked at my ring. So very nice to see a friendly face. In Fort Worth I never seen anyone I know at a store.
The next day we were coming out of Wal Mart and I seen Christy that I have known for a long time. We took Debra to the BBQ place to eat with us at lunch the next day. That last night we went to Mrs. Allen's and ate again and Tami and Terry were there. It was so nice to be back in Sweetwater and see people I knew. I can't wait to come back in November and stay part time.
Like the old saying goes, "There is no place like home." Fort Worth has never felt like home to me even though I have been here for twenty five years.
