They're here! (two)

  After a hearty breakfast of waffles, Anne and I headed over to watch Logan's team play soccer in the play-offs. Then home for a quick snack and out again to see james' team play. Unfortunately, both teams were sacked. Anne and I are both very upset by this, especially for Logan's team. As you know, except for a single game, they were undefeated the entire regular season!   Justus coached james' team and couldn't move around very well. It was very obvious that he is not 100% yet, but he loves his team so much that wild horses couldn't keep him from the game!   While at home between games, the text messages started coming in from John and Jannie. They'd arrived in L.A. and needed our address for the GPS. I texted back and also suggested they stop in Bishop for a little something to eat, as it's about half way. We love eating at Jack's and often stop at Schatt's Bakery for something sweet.   Then it was off to Dave's house to troubleshoot his son's computer. The machine was donated to them by a previous employer and it seems that they couldn't get past the Administrator's login. Using several of my best kung-fu moves I finally identified the culprit: the hard disk drive had a bad sector right in the middle of Windows!   I headed home to Anne and helped her put some Halloween things up around the house. Then John and Jannie texted that they were in Gardnerville. I warned them about the proliferation of officers between Carson City and Reno attempting to raise money for the state's coffers, and warned them about the construction they were heading about to encounter. Meanwhile, Anne put the Beer Bread into the oven for their arrival. (Beer Bread and Tzatziki recipes were both provided by Jim)   We started watching the 25th anniversay of the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame concerts on DVD. These have just come out and anyone interested in popular music is encouraged to see them. About 45 minutes into the video I texted John and Jannie to watch for the new US395-to-I80 ramp. This, I was told later, arrived just in time.   Shortly thereafter, we received a knock on the door and they were both standing on our porch! Weary from the drive, we fed them ("I learned that when people travel they get dehydrated so you feed them soup" Anne said), chatted a bit, then got out the hide-away and let them get some shut-eye (which is what I intend to do next).   Be thankful for family and friends in your life, Don and Anne     ---
