Path Near Myrtle's House

Wednesday, June 2, 2004

Cousin Gerry comes over in the morning and brings his beautiful granddaughter, Elena. She is about 5? and full of energy. She plays with us for awhile, until they need to go, and we decide to pick up a few things at the mall.

We New Yorkers are mall-deprived, and enjoy wandering around the nearly deserted spaces, looking and shopping. Lorraine gets five great shirts on sale, and I buy a few toiletries. How do these places stay in business? They must have very low overhead. I have popcorn and lemonade for lunch.

For supper, we get a terrific pizza from Papa Murphy's (a meal in a slice.) Never heard of them before, but really good.

Cousin Jack and Irma, both looking marvelous, arrive in the evening and we have an excellent time with them. Kati, their dog, entertains us, too. They will stay with Gerry and Wilma.

It's a beautiful day. We're off to the airport to pick up cousin Nancy. We drive around town to run a few "roots" errands. Nancy has planned a reunion party at a local restaurant.

We eat across the street in Johnny J's, "a fifties style eating place." Nancy and I check out La Costa, and think it will be a good location if they will give us the side room for ourselves.

We order the cakes at Albertson's and then drive up Casper Mountain for a few sunset shots. There is a couple there getting their wedding picture taken. It makes a nice backdrop.

Home to Myrt's and a great ham dinner that she whips up out of the refrigerator.

Jack and Irma stop by again for another good visit.
