Beth made it safe and sound last night. She had some flight delays and the usual small waits and such, but she rang our door bell about 8:00 PM and was very happy to see us.
We let her change and then walked down town to Sr. Froy's and had a wonderful dinner. Sr. Froy was in his usual great form and he paid a lot of attention to our two ladies. Notice Froy in the background of the picture of Linda and I. He did that with out Beth noticing and then asked if he could see the photo she took. Of course Beth showed him and we all got a good laugh when we saw his face in the background. They loved all his jokes and of course he got a bid tip for his efforts.
We walked around to the plaza, had our evening doughnut and watched the kids chase, punch and play. I watched a group of young boys up in the plaza gazebo kicking a soccer ball at each other real hard. I figured out the game after just a few minutes. They kick the ball as hard as they can and try to hit another kid somewhere that they didn't like. Then if the ball went out over the railing and down into the plaza they would swarm the kid that kicked the ball and caused it to go out in to the lower area. As the swarmed they would all yell the same chant and smack the kicker on the top of the head until said kicker could break out of the swarm and go fetch the ball. It got a bit wild if the kicker was located on the opposite side of the gazebo steps. If they were close the chant started and they fled as fast as they could to avoid getting smacked. This went on the entire time we were there, it looked rather wild and harsh, but on one seemed to get hurt.
