Sherry was working on the screened-in porch as well as preparing a few delicious sides to go with the smoked ribs - both wet and dry rub versions - AND olives and sausage for me to take home.
Dean is a foodie and Sherry is a great cook herself - so Saturday night's dinner was absolutely delicious!
Sherry's daughter, Crystal, drove own to pick us up and then returned us a couple of hours later.
Dean, Sherry and Crystal all made us feel so pampered and loved.
We are so grateful for all our family relationships....Louis Dean's family as well as mine.
God is good! All the time! And what amazing ways He blesses us!
Sherry and Crystal did a great job on the porch!
Crystal and Sherry have such a good relationship!
They are both strong and amazing ladies.....and I love that I am also part of their family!
Today (Sunday) we had our morning routine, watched Fellowship Church online and then I finished cleaning up the camper and front room while LD loaded the truck.
He hauls so much stuff back and forth - as in trash cans full of junk and trash.
I remind myself that it is part of what he does and part of the dementia and it doesn't really matter in the long run if he packs trash back and forth on our every visit.
Once we had packed up - Dean and Sherry invited us for a last lunch before we hit the road home.
It was a great repeat of last night's dinner and SO good!
We had five full days here plus our arrival and departure days.
Much was accomplished and our time here was wonderful.
Thanks to Dean for all the repairs he made and Sherry for all her encouragements and Crystal for being there for us - and she knows what I mean!
This visit totally redeemed the last time we left the ranch on January 5th with my hair on fire!
Looking forward to returning in a couple of weeks!
We made it home safe and sound and before dark!
The rain had just started when we pulled into the driveway.
As I write, the laundry is going, all the perishables are in the fridge and everything has been put in place.
Long ago, when I had been away for a time, I called the process of coming home as 'getting even.'
Putting everything away and getting back to normal.
It's going to be great sleeping weather tonight.
It's always good to go to the country and just as good to come home.
We have the best of both worlds!
Thank you, Dean and Sherry, for your gracious hospitality.
We love being down there with y'all!

Hi Linda. I am glad that you had a good visit in the country and made it home safely. That porch looks great. I hope that you and L.D. have a good week. See you again soon!
You both remind me of The City Mouse & The Country Mouse. And I bet if you had to choose, you would not be able to.
Glad to see you both having fun! Life is just too darn short for anything less...
