Well it was a really great day. I didn’t get to watch the live stream on Rockets 2015/Houston. Unfortunately i was busy around the house, and then couldn’t remember my log in, so I will figure that out tomorrow and watch some then. I did get updates from Steve though. He said all went well, recovery was at about 80% so that is actually pretty good. They sent up 12 today. There are 14 more planned for tomorrow. They only saw one alligator and one rattle snake, so that is good.
Even though I didn’t watch myself, my sister-in-law did and she said the live feed was having some difficulty. Hopefully that is resolved now and will be better tomorrow. Of course, she was still able to watch several, so it wasn’t too bad.
It will be a long, hard day for the crew tomorrow, starting early and ending late possibly and then a late and long drive home to Fredericksburg after they pack it in for the day. Keep them in your prayers so all goes well and everyone returns home safely, both the SystemsGo crew and the students of the schools attending.
I attended the 60th wedding anniversary of some of my parent’s best friends, Mr. Dennis Lange and his lovely wife, Mrs. Shirley Schnerr Lange. It was held in Doss, TX at the home of their daughter and her husband, Peggy and Clyde Crenwelge. There were about 100 folks in attendance and all enjoyed wonderful BBQ, beans, potato salad, and German chocolate cake. It was a wonderful celebration and an absolutely beautiful place to have it.
It was so much fun to be out there again and with friends we just don’t get to see or spend much time with anymore. Even their son, Jason Lange, who lives in Seward, Alaska was able to be in attendance. That in itself was a treat for everyone. He and I visited and caught up on each other’s lives and families. And of course reminisced about old times when we were kids running around out on the place. We all had a lot of fun back then. It was fun walking down memory lane and remembering all those old times and stories. I have to admit there were a few I had to think about, but, yes I do remember.
Of course, it is the water fights and playing hide and seek in the dark while Jason made scary cougar screams that I think I remember the most. Probably because they were a regular occurrence every time we went to the Lange’s house. You never went out there without at least one, if not two changes of clothes, even in winter. Those were the days.
Congratulations Dennis and Shirley, what a wonderful 60 years you have had together. Thank you, Peggy and Clyde for the tour of your gorgeous home, hopefully we will all get together again soon. Thank you Jason for the visit and the trip down memory lane. It is too bad you and Rhonda don’t live closer, I am sure we could have had a lot of fun together still.
Well I warned you that some days would be more on a personal note. Thank you for indulging me today. Tomorrow, will be more on Houston Rocket launch, day 2, and perhaps Mother’s day.
