Tonight's picture is me sitting on the sofa with our surprise visitor: Tom Rose! We were floored today when Linda called to tell us Tom was coming by to see us. He has been to see his son in Texas and was headed this direction. I was talking to her on the phone when Don saw him outside! What a cool surprise and we've had a great time visiting with him! We want to persuade him to stay through next weekend when we have our Celebration of Freedom weekend, which we think he will love. We'll see if we can talk him into it. Trish and Rob and the kids are coming and we'd love for him to meet them.
We left him here tonight while we went to graduation because a really good friend's daughter was graduating with honors, so she was speaking. Then they had a reception for her, so we went to that, too. Tom was asleep on the sofa when we got home, so I guess he needed some rest. We look forward to showing him around southwestern Oklahoma as long as we can get him to stay. Linda, we MISS you! Tom and Linda and I graduated from high school together and Tom and Linda are great friends who have been to Hawaii with us twice. This is really a treat and we so thank God for Tom's safe trip and this time we can spend together. It's a good thing the weather is nice, so he's not experiencing storms with us.
