Jan 24 2012 Miniola,TX

Hi,
 we arrived in Miniola on Sunday and have been visiting our good friends Joey and Brenda Paradis. It is so great to see them again. We stayed up late talking and catching up. Joey and I had a ball looking at classmates pictures on Facebook and triing to figure out who was who. posted a couple of comments and got alot of responces very quickly. They had to work for a few hours yesterday so Linda and I went to Tyler,TX and stopped at a couple of quilt shops, Walmart, and then at a Northern Tool store(lots of neat stuff). We were deciding where we might eat when Brenda called and said we could meet them for supper in a little town on they're way home. We got on the highway and drove about 50 miles and we had a nice dinner. It is so strange for us to drive so far for anything. it was like driving to Boston for us, but for Joey and Brenda it's just a skip down the road. They drive over 80 miles to work(one way). You MUST remember that everything in Texas is HUGE, including the state itself. Linda and Brenda drove one car and Joey and I drove the truck and we all had fun chatting. Today they have a funeral to attend so Linda and I will go touristing in the area. Tomorrow nite we are planning to go to Plano to see their friend , and great singer, perform . Should be a blast. I think we are headed south on Thursday but do hate to leave here. They weather is nice and sun shining so we are happy.   Love to all, Russ
