The US Blog #2

Visiting with old friends has filled our days and nights.

I had lunch with one of my oldest friends in Colorado. We worked together for over 25 years in 3 different businesses. He is in his 70's, retired and having a ball traveling around the country in his mobile home. No grass is growing under his feet.

Today, I stopped in at a meeting with many, many old friends. I was so happy to be in this energetic, profane and joyous group...I fit in just right.

Some of us went for a late breakfast at a local hash house and whopped it up some more. I worried about driving away customers because we were laughing so hard. This is good stuff for the soul.

Yella and I went to watch the Broncos at some very good friends' house this afternoon. The football game was a disaster but the company was the best. I forgot how much fun it is to be with people committed to laughter and fun.

The theme for the day was laughter and gaiety.

We went to eat at a restaurant that was one of our favorites because it was good and moderately priced. Yella had a meal and I had a drink and side dish because I was stuffed from snacking during the football game.

Oh my God, sticker shock! They have raised their prices A LOT. We paid $35 for a meal and a half. This was so much more than we used to pay...not to mention how expensive compared to Panama.

I'm getting tired of $2.30 cups of coffee.

It is exhausting doing all this visiting. I love it but I am beat by 6 pm and ready for bed.
