Canasta, again!


This is a picture that Don took of Diana and I tonight before we got started playing canasta. It was so good to see her and really fun to play. We hadn't played since we left for Branson for the winter! Frank and Jo Ann came but had to leave right after they got here because there were wild fires out near their home. They called later to tell us that the fire is contained, but it was scary. The winds are gusting up to 50 miles an hour here today, and it's so dry that fires are a real danger. One whole town, not too far from us was evacuated! Anyway, we give thanks that we haven't had a fire close to Hobart and that the one out by Jo Ann and Frank was contained before getting anyone's home.

Diana is married to a guy I went to school with in Japan. She and I got to be great friends on the Internet before they retired in Alaska. They moved to Texas, first, and then they moved here a few years ago. They are remodeling one house and restoring a great old home. They are amazing. Her husband, Bob, is doing security work at a launch site in Kazakhstan, so we miss him. I feel like I went to school with Diana! I guess you could say we went to different schools together? :)
