We had a great day on Saturday at voting day. Always get to see so many that we don’t see every often, so many hugs. Ha! It was a good turn out and lots of laughs. Yes we did.
Dan and Carol Little from West Monroe drove over for a good visit. Of course, Dan’s main reason was his favorite strawberry ice cream, cheddar cheese and Bryan Bologna.
We welcome yet another Cheek girl back to Rayville, Davie and Cheryl (Cheek) Cardova from Dallas have bought a home in Rayville. There are two more, Connie and Sandra, but we probably won’t get them back. Hey, they don’t know what they are missing.
Brenda Goodman and her neice, Stacey motored over to Shreveport on Sunday to visit with Geraldene Jones Watson. Had a good visit. I enjoyed ole Ken and Merle Rabon visiting on voting and I shared some gumbo and rice and potato pie with them. Many years ago, Merle, Sue Fortenberry and I spent every Sunday together at my house and their house.
That, of course, is what people say “was the good old days.” But other than getting older, I think everyday is good!
