Alan and I drove over this Saturday to League City to see Mom, Dad, and Kenneth, heretofore known as the League City Trio ("LCT"). The weather was very nearly fall-like, and we were very happy to see that except for the piles of tree branches perched on the front curbs of many of the houses, Kenneth's subdivision looked almost normal. Kenneth was waiting for the cable installer to come back to the house. Apparently, early that morning Kenneth had looked out the window to see the cable guy drive up to the house, walk up to the front door of the next door neighbor, ring that bell, and when no one there answered the door, then get in his truck and leave. All this before Kenneth could throw on his pants and dash to the front door to hail the cable installer. Naturally, Kenneth would now be required to place at least 10 phone calls to the cable company in order to retrieve the installer before days' end. He was still waiting for them when we left at 5:45 pm.
Mom and Dad were looking fantastic, and it was especially good for me to be able to see them and touch them for the first time in a long while. We shared some laughs over our gourmet Sonic Drive-In delicacies, watched a little OU v. UT football (Sorry OU fans), and then gluttoned ourselves on Marie Calendar's Coconut Cream Pie. The men later worked on connecting Kenneth's platforms for his new-fangled front loading washer and dryer. They look so efficient and spiffy sitting up pretty and high like that, you'd have thought we would have wanted to do some laundry. Nah.....
Dad said he's feeling fantastic, just feeling a wee little bit of nausea off and on today. But, as Aunt Margie said, Stan is too far above getting sick. We'll be going over again soon. - Kat

seems pretty rough, eating sonic and coconut cream pie! I hope that nausea stays at bay a little longer; you've gotta eat more pie!
