Valentine's Day!!

Before I begin my blog today, I want to mention something that happened to us yesterday that was very very special.  After Manuel's cardiology appointment we were so happy that all his results (blood work and stress test) were excellent.  After that, we ran errands and lastly, we stopped at Chili's for a late lunch.  We had a great lunch and enjoyed our time there.  When we got ready to go, asked the waitress for the check.  She came back and told us "your check has been paid by an appreciative customer".  We asked her, "Who?" thinking it was someone we knew.  She said, "He wants to be anonymous but said  he appreciates your service to our Country".  We were shocked and so thankful.  When we walked out, we looked around at the bar and saw no one we knew.  Manuel, waved in case that person was looking our way.   Aren't people wonderful?!!  We are so thankful!

We got an early start today as we have a lot to do.  Our first stop was at the Lopez Senior Center.  We do not go too often as we are usually busy but try to go when they have functions.  Valentine's Day is a BIG day here.  We met up with Mr. and Mrs. Adolfo Montero Sr.  They are our neighbors, beautiful couple.  They are very active here.

While at the Center's Cafe, Manuel stops to visit with his ex-co-worker, Mr. Raul Trevino.  They both worked at Kelly A.F.B. for many years.

They enjoy visiting and reminiscing about old times....
