...to Virginia, visiting my brother and sister-in-law. Got 4:00 a.m. on Wednesday to take a shower and get organized, hoping to leave the house by 5:00. To get to Decatur before crazy people all got out on the highways. Was tooken to the airport and on the 10:25 flight to Richmond. He met me at the airport and we went to lunch.
They were responsible for baking potatoes for church supper so we went to put the potatoes in the oven, heat up a pot of chili, and eventually eat along with a green salad, and various toppings for our evening meal. When that was done, we came home and talked ... just like back in the olden days before television was invented. When people used to just sit around and visit, did not need to be mesmerized for entertainment.
It apparently takes very little with the folks here: they told about sitting in the recliners, watching the little green sticky frogs stuck to the outside of the windows catching insects. And the best show they ever had was the time the frog ate the lighting bug. That continued to blink after it had been consumed. And all this time, I have been thinking of myself as a person who was easily amused....
