The Gierloff Visit

Today Raymond Gierloff came up to visit.  He brought with him his granddaughter Madison, grandson Rhett and Richard's son Todd.  Todd lives in Longview and I learned he had seen me fly one of my planes at Chris and Marge's place when he was a teenager.  It got him interested, he and Chris built a Senior Kadet (which he still has) and learned to fly radio control.  When he was older he got a pilots license and told me I was his inspiration to do all that.  That sure made me feel good. 

I had mentioned my blog and had the latest book sitting on the coffee table.  Pretty soon three of the books were in use.

Cathy, Michelle, Mik and James came up.  James got there first with pizza from Lexi's in Lexington and it was really good.  Cathy brought a chocolate treat that was really popular as there was not much left.  Madison is a teacher, she and Michelle seemed to really hit it off.

Raymond sat in my chair for a few minutes but seemed to prefer visiting in the kitchen, he and Vera spent a long time visiting in there.  Michelle had gotten some information from Rhett, Madison and Raymond that she added to our family tree in her Ancestry account.  It was a good afternoon spent getting to know cousins we had never met before.  When the weather warms up we are going to make a trip down to see them.
