Where have I been...

Earlier this week, I was notified that one of our friends had died on Monday, Nov 7. both Ron and I were at work when we received the call from Kansas. We immediately started making arrangements for traveling to Marion, KS. We left on Friday. We stayed at a BnB in Hillsboro, KS. Nice place, never stayed at one before, but it was nice, we were only at the bnb to rest. We did not have breakfast while there. We were contstantly on the run. The funeral was on Saturday at 2pm in Syracuse, KS. That was a 5 hour drive from Marion, KS. It was a long trip. All went well, paid our respects, and came back to Hillsboro, arriving at 9pm. We then left on Sunday morning. Total trip mileage was 1500 miles. Like I said earlier, we left on Friday, Nov 11 at 2:30pm and arrived back in Dallas on Sunday, Nov 13 at 5pm. This was a looong trip.

Our friend enjoyed watching tv, playing video games, and gambling. He also liked to eat and smoke. I do remember helping him out when he was in Coppell and Irving Texas, back in the mid 90ties. I remember it like as if it were yesterday. Those days are gone now. We have closed this chapter in our lives. Rest in Peace Friend.
