It's a quiet evening after several days of non-stop activity. Wednesday I drove to Amarillo to meet Rebecca and pick up Coley. We got back to town, fixed supper, greeted Pops and waited for Chris and Margie to get in.

I took Thursday and Friday off from work to maximize the time that we would have to visit. Thursday we spent most of the day playing Wii sports. I must admit I am a bit hooked on the game. This was my first real chance to play. Coley has brought his game with him before, but I was usually too busy to participate. I really love the golf and bowling, my favs.

Thursday night Julie, Kimberlee, Randi, Elizabeth, Clint (Elizabeth's sweetie) and Larenda (friend of Julie) came over for supper. It was great. There was so much conversation, fun and noise, I had a hard time trying to listen to all that was going on. I just love great family time. Larenda is from the northwest so she was asking about things to see and do in the Lubbock area. Everyone was adding places to go to the list. She will be so busy traveling to Ruidoso, Cloudcroft, Palo Duro Canyon, etc. that we won't see her for awhile.

We picked Randi up from school Thursday and she stayed at our house until about six this evening (Sunday). It is always fun to have her around. She was dog sitting, Dollie, this weekend so we added that to our activities.

Chris and Margie took Kimberlee and one of her friends to lunch on Thursday and Friday. They also went to Randi's school and sat with her class at the lunch table. Coley and I stayed home both days and fixed lunch for Pops. On Friday I helped him fix an impact wrench at lunchtime so I was glad we were here. Some things are easier done with four hands. On Thursday Pops had the biggest tool box he has sold to date delivered to the house by semi. Fortunately Chris and Margie were here. The wind was blowing fiercely so it took all of us and the two men on the truck to steer the thing into the garage. We loaded it on the truck this afternoon and again the wind was blowing wildly. West Texas in the spring, you gotta love it!

Chris went through some boxes of his things that were in the top of a closet and packed them up to take with them. I'm sure Margie is thinking, "where will we put this stuff." But, I think it's time for him to take possession. We found a box of old LP's so had some interesting conversation about the groups and songs that have been remade several times by several groups.

When it was time for Chris and Margie to go, it was hard to believe that the time had come so quickly. After Randi left I told Coley, "Now you are an only child." I think he kind of likes it.

And so, it is rather quiet in the house tonight.
