After years of saying we would come to visit someday, here we are in Arlington, Texas making good on those words. Phil’s extended family has embraced us with warm hugs, kisses and delicious food making us feel so very welcome it has been a wonderful experience for both of us! The children of his older brother, nieces, Debbie and Pam and their brothers, Lee and Rick lived with Phil’s family for several years and he feels very close to all four of them because they were more like younger siblings than nieces and nephews during his teens. Debbie’s husband, Connie is a master chef in the kitchen and has fed us like royalty since we’ve been here; really going over the top with his famous barbecued brisket at the family picnic yesterday. The entire buffet was delicious with side dishes contributed by all the other family that came to spend time with Uncle Phil and Joy. Sadly, nephew, Rick lives in Kansas so we have missed him at these get-togethers but his home in Garnett is on our itinerary when we leave Texas.
