Bibleville

Fun concert last evening with the Mark Trammell Quartet. Southern Gospel again, as is usual here, I think. Good variety of style with differenct songs featuring different members of the group. The bass was especially good and made us think of Steve's dad with his incredible basement voice. Dad would have loved singing in a group like this. If Steve's folks had spent more time in the south in heir later years...if Dad had not gotten sick...who knows what he might have done?



We went to the worship service this morning. Had lunch with friends of Orlin's who invited him. He had already invited us to his place to watch the football game, so they invited us all and had the game on until its pitiful end. :-)

I organized my suitcase before church. Steve has his ready to go. Mom was thinking of organizing hers and wanted to pack what she wore to church this morning, so she put on her nightgown--at 5:30 PM--completely forgetting the evening service. She debated, but decided to leave it on and skip church tonight. Steve isn't preaching. If she gets to bed earlier tonight, it will be easier to get up in the morning and hit the road.

Tomorrow we head west to Laredo, then north to the Texas Hill Country. Erika thinks we are nuts not to visit Big Bend National Park, but it is several hours out of our way and we just don't have the time. (This is one BIG state.) Bibleville is talking of inviting us back. Next time we'll have to plan on Big Bend. The sad thing here is that with so many older people, inevitably you lose some every year. So how many that we met and enjoyed this time will still be here?
