Awake: 6:24am Temp 60 sleep 5+38 mostly cloudy & windy overnight @ West Memphis, AR.
Early afternoon, I call & talk with Ron D; he & his wife are empty nesters now. Their (2) boys are both married, have children & live elsewhere. They have sold their big house & are now living in a zero lot line condo. He also sold his 210 Cessna aircraft; Linda does not enjoy flying. He would love to get a motorhome & do some traveling but Linda doesn’t want to do that either. I suggested that Kathy have a little talk with her; Ron liked that idea. Ron continues to enjoy his FDX flying & operating the simulator however.
In the meantime, Kathy does another laundry load & also lines (8) of her drawers, some kitchen & some bedroom, with felt.
I spend some time trying to understand our new Pioneer navigation system.
@ 5:50pm, we drive to East Memphis & meet with Bob & Mary Ann B. @ “Buckleys.” A very popular restaurant @ Popular & Estate Streets. K & I share a Filet with Portabellas, creamed spinach, & garden salad + wine. We haven’t seen Bob & Mary Ann since their son’s wedding in 2002. Before that, we were neighbors when we lived in Memphis, living about ½ mile from each other.
After a delicious dinner, (Buckleys was very good), Mary Ann rides with me to their nearby home while I demonstrate our Lady Garmin GPS to her; she is amazed with the technology within that little unit. Kathy rides with Bob & then, we sample some dessert in their living room & gab for another hr or more. It was wonderful teaming up with these people again. We return to our campsite around 11:30pm.
