Day 33 - Midland, TX

Today we went out for brunch, then to Bob and Gingers church. The banners are spectacular, all relating to biblical text. The colors are amazing as is the design. Returned back to Bob and Gingers, did some laundry and waited for the kids to arrive. Ginger had made a brisket, and a delicious Greek salad, as well as a fruit salad. So nice to see Mark and to meet his wife Michelle,where does the time go??

Here are pictures of Ginger, Bob, Ken, and I and then of Ginger, Bob, Mark, Michelle, and Andrea and Errol. Andrea and Errol haven't set a date for the wedding yet, or started planning. Her engagement ring is outstanding, Tiffany setting and about the size of a golf ball, beautiful!!! Don't know if it's obvious but Errol is 6'4" and Andrea is about 5' 2", they make a beautiful couple.

Mark and his wife Michelle are going on a trip to Ireland this Thursday, they are so excited! We shared our experiences in Ireland with them, we had such a great time, hope they do too. Such a pleasure meeting both Michelle and Errol, liked them both very much. S

OK, for you car guys, Errol brought his GTR over tonight, and it looks like something out of Batman! WHAT A CAR!!! Errol was going to take me for a ride in it, but time to eat, and then too late to go for a ride later. The seats in that thing grip you like you don't need seat belts, and the driving position is incredible! With 480+ horsepower, all-wheel drive, paddle shift, and looks like this, can you imagine the ride?

Errol said some guy on a rice-rocket motorcycle tried to take him on at a stop light, and it was about an even race. Surprised that bike had a chance. The sound of that engine is something else, and I was so impressed. Figure we could both get about the same amount of luggage in both the GTR and our Vette, but Errol would get places faster than we could.

Check out the exhaust pipes on the rear of this thing - And there are four of those 12-inch pipes (just kidding) hanging out the back. The tires are as wide and as big as those on our Vette, and there is no doubt you would need all that rubber on the ground if you stomped on the throttle.

Really a great day all around. K
