Hoping to get a possible invitation to visit at some point in the future, we decided to leave this morning and let the Little’s return to a semblance of their normal lives.
I forgot to mention our buying trips to Cat Mountain Emporium and Savers. We did not spend lavishly, but did partake of several bargains, and I stocked up on mostly summer shirts – 8 or 9 of them for under $60.
Gene and Mary await us, and we are anxious to share some of the Book Festival stories with them and hear what they have been up to. It was a very pleasant trip east with a few stops for photos and a stop in Silver City to stock up on some more red and green chili wine. I know, it sounds awful. Don’t judge until we have poured you a glass. It’s delicious.
We arrived somewhat later than we had planned (Marsha let us down and we overshot their street), but visited as if we hadn’t seen each other for years instead of just a few days. Gene and I put in the requisite time on the computer, had a Face Time chat on our iPads and in general behaved like a couple of teenagers. Cathy and Mary solved all the problems for the Catholic Church, swapped recipes, tastefully laughed at our antics and generally had a good visit. We sure love these folks.
