April 13-21 ,2010 VISITING FRIENDS

We left Sherman, Texas on the 13th and arrived at our friends Neva and Jerry's in Quitman,Tx. They use to live in Calif. and we've been friends for over 40 years. Neva and I were roomates before getting married. It was so good to see them and the family. We will stay here about a week. They have a beautiful home on 4 acres of land. Here are some photos of the place.

While we were here we went to Tyler and Neva took me to a store called Dressin' Gaudy. I loved this place. They have all these jackets with all the sparkles and bling.Also lots of jewelery. I will go back there when we come back through in Oct. We also went to one of the many Victorian homes in Tyler. This house is called the Goodman-LeGrande home also known as the Bonnie Castle.The Goodmans bought the home in 1866 and start remodeling in the 1880's. Dr. Goodman was a local Dr. and civil war surgeon. The family occupied the home for 72 years.
While at Neva's and Jerry's I think we gained a few pounds.She was always cooking and we were always eating. We had a great visit and will miss them but will be back in the fall.
