Alarm is going off so it must be 5:00 am. GEEE that is just too early to be getting up…but then Sherri has to get ready for work. I got up and slipped on my clothes so I could make the journey down to the coffee maker in the lobby. There were several people down there when I arrived. I got in line and waited my turn…I could smell the coffee as each individual poured their cup and I was hoping they would speed it up so I could get mine.
I pumped our two cups…this machine pumps to disperse the coffee…and then headed back to the room. Sherri open the door for me an then snatched her cup from my had…are we addicted? We drank our coffee while Sherri told me what all she had to do today. There was some inferences made that I would be doing nothing…I ignored them…I know she has to work but I will be too and then she will not have that to get on to me about. Only working three days a week wont be bad for me…after working 7 days a week 10 and 12 hours a day…no I will survive this I am sure.

My sister in law Becky Turner will be having open heart surgery on Monday of next week. We will be there for her and Rodney during the operation. Sherri and I request your prayers for Becky. She has a bad valve that will have to be replaced. The procedure takes several hours and can be risky. I don’t know for sure if I will post a journal entry on Monday but will bring everyone up to date on the outcome of the surgery on Tuesday for sure.
These are some of the plantation homes here in Opelousas. There is so much history here that is overlooked just running down the Interstate at 70 mph. We could spend another week here and still not see it all.
Meantime we will be moving from Marksville Louisiana to Lake Tawakoni Texas. We will be staying at the State Park until Sunday morning when we plan to leave for Lake Lavon. This will put us closer to the hospital in Dallas. From there we will be traveling south to Lake Whitney. We are really going to be on the move this next week. I will try to keep you up to date on our whereabouts…
Somewhere in Time.
