A Visit From My Brother -- And Dinner at Inca

I had just headed back to the bedroom to take a well deserved nap this afternoon when Brother Pat showed up.  He was on his way to Odessa to check out some onion seed plantings his company (Montsano) has in the area. Forry ended up going with him and they checked out onion fields, canola, garbanzos, wheat and a field of something neither one of them could identify.  They were both pretty warm when they got back to Auntie Violet and I think they appreciated the cold drinks I fixed for us along with some cheese and crackers.

After Patrick left, we headed for Moses Lake where we joined our friends, Curt and Sarah, their daughter Anna, their son Pete, Pete's fiancee Tessa and her young son Ayden at Inca for a wonderful Mexican dinner. We hadn't seen any of them since last fall and it was good to catch up on all that is going on.  After dinner we went over to take a look at the house that Anna, an attorney, will be moving into shortly. It has a great view of the lake it overlooks.

Not too bad a way to end a day that had started with a trip to the dentist to have the prep work done for the new crown I need.  As he drilled it out, the dentist commented that it was probably a good thing the inlay had come out while we were in Pittsburgh.  There was enough decay under it that had it remained hidden, I probably would have lost the tooth, or at the very least ended up having to have a root canal.
