Last week held three special days for us. On Thursday, Mamaw celebrated her 87th birthday. She was in good spirits and LOVED the flowers she received from Danny and Ed. She was especially delighted by a rose that had several colors in it. The next day, Rodney and I celebrated 37 years together. We went to see "The Hangover" and then went to eat at a secluded, exceptional restaurant here in Tyler. Bernard's Mediterranean Restaurant was so nice, the food was delicious, and we really felt pampered. We had seafood and avocado for an appetizer, I had scallops and Rodney had sea bass for the entree, and then we shared tiramisu for dessert. What a meal!! Finally, Saturday, we went to a political rally here in Tyler at Bergfeld Park for the Fourth of July. I can feel rumblings of discontent growing around this area. Many towns around here had Tea Parties, but Tyler alone managed to draw 1500-1800 participants who showed their patriotic spirit and freedom by their presence at this calm protest. Then on Sunday, Tommy and Allison came by with their little clan on their way home to Houston from the cabin in Arkansas. We grilled and had a nice family visit before they headed home in the rain. Yes, I said rain. It finally rained and broke the heat here. Last week, every day broke the 100 degree mark. The cumulative effect of the heat on this old house permeates every part of it, and we hibernated in the two cool(ish) rooms. I was a slug. But it's cooler new (low 90's) and I can breathe again! The heat is not kind to us old women!
