Taco Salad and Scrabble!

April 30, 2017

Last week Josh Ellinor and John Ortiz came over and since there were four of us I pulled down a game we've never played on a Saturday night - Scrabble!

 So we fixed ourselves Taco Salads or Tacos (whichever was preferred) and ate dinner. Josh shows off his colorful work of culinary delight. But, do you notice what else he is showing off? And no, that isn't taco sauce on his upper lip! He's actually sporting a new mustache!

And this is my work of art...oh, I guess you're too late...I ate it already!

Yvonne is eating nachos....well, tortilla chips with melted cheddar cheese.

And then we went to the game. I think you can tell the level of enthusiasm from the looks on the guys' faces...

But as we began to put words on the board the intensity and competition came out!

Josh finally won with the word "RIN" a Japanese coin. Yvonne and Josh were so close!

Then it was time to call it a night!

Sunday we had chicken, roasted potatoes, and green beans. Dessert was cinnamon rolls. Just after we ate, the door bell rang and Ruth Davis was standing there! Ruth is Andrew Davis' mom. She was bearing German cookies to boot! We had a nice time catching up with her. She and Mike came to visit Andrew when he was staying with us way back in 2009. She and Mike are really active in supporting our troops in Illinois.

By now you know me...I have to have pictures. Words alone just don't seem enough. Here are a couple of pictures of Ruth and Mike when they were here back then and Andrew too playing Attack Uno!

Do you notice anything unusual about Mike's face? Yup! He has a mustache! :) I just had to point that out!
