Lafayette, Louisiana Friday 1/9/09

Danny Wessel and his friend were sealing

the pavers on the walkway. The sun was in the

wrong direction and it is not a very good picture.

Pat and Skog...on their side! Couldn't figure

out how to turn the picture.

"Maggie" Skogerboe. Another fellow

Westie.

Pat and Skog's daughter Annie (in blue) and their grand daughter

Sara in yellow. The three Wheatens are all Annie's!!!

Yep, we had a houseful of dogs! Good I didn't bring

Maddie and Kate with us to dinner!

More puppies.

We arrived back in San Antonio on Wednesday with both our dogs. They did excellent on the plane ride. Hardly a peep...well, Kate had a little peep.! We were pleasantly surprised at how good they were. Jim Wessel picked us up at the airport. Pam was pretty sick with a bad cold so we decided that we would settle in again and then see them on Thursday.

Thursday John and I did a shopping expedition to get a charger for his phone...(we forgot ours) and I forgot my jean...so got a pair of them, and then the normal grocery run. After we were done we went over to their house and took the dogs. They were very good....Kate didn't run off and they even got along with Pepper...Wessel's dog. Jim had been up to Dallas to a horse sale and purchased two thoroughbreds that are both in foal. We locked my dogs up in a stall because they probably would have chased the horses and I didn't need one of them to get kicked.

We viewed the photographs that Pam had taken of us and picked the ones out that we want to choose from. She really did a great job! After that we went to Papa Gallos to have lunch. We have eaten there about 3 times...counting the times we went in for Flan to go! Flan is a Mexican custard and they make it fresh every day and I just love it. We then met up at our motor home to catch up on some more pictures and say good bye. Pam and Jim decided not to go with us to Pat and Skog's for dinner due to Pam's cold. Skog has been having some health issues and is scheduled to go to the Dr. today (Friday). Apparently he has an infection that makes his blood pressure go WAY low and he passes out. Annie, their daughter, came up from Dallas to manage all his medical records and help Pat get some answers.

We had a lovely dinner with Pat, Skog, Annie and Sara, their grand daughter. Annie has 3 Wheaten terriers. She shows them and one is the top Wheaten and the other is number 5. She will breed the female in two years. Need a pup????? Their only about $2,000.00.

We had a great time and got home around 10:30.

This am we got on the road about 9:30 and got here to Lafayette about 4:00. Ran into some slow traffic that cost us about 30 min., but it was an uneventful trip.

Tomorrow I think we will go to Destin, Florida. The two couples we were going to meet in Orlando are having delays, so we might not be able to hook up with them until February. We would have to go back to Key West to see them in January and we're not sure we want to pay what it costs to stay at Blue Water RV Resort. It is pretty spendy...about $800.00 a week.

We will see...
