A Day to Remember

We spent most of the afternoon getting the feel of Tyler. Our first stop, of course, was at the visitor information center. Considering the size of Tyler, we were pleasantly surprised at all of the things to see in the area. Next, we found the local post office so we could have our mail sent to us and then we drove around to get the layout of the town.

But, the best part was in the evening. We found our way to Cheddars Casual Cafe where we had the nicest reunion and dinner with my first set of kids, Barb and Theresa as well as their families.


Here we are waiting in the lobby with Theresa and her three angels. Her husband Jimmy had to work, but we'll catch up with him on Saturday.


And this is Barb with her husband David (on the right) and their youngest daughter Chelsea with her daughter Harley. (Hope I spelled those right!)


It's been years since we've been together and what a treat it was. We talked and ate and talked some more for over two hours. Harley was a two year old delight and it was so much fun to catch up with the grandkids I've hardly known. We have all changed so much, but the love in the room was strong with memories and emotions. We just can't go so long between visits!

Since everyone (except us) had to work in the morning, the evening was nowhere near long enough. But we already have plans to get together again.
