    Several Sundays a month I host a casual afternoon meal. It’s open to who ever stops by. Family style comfort food.

    I held my last one one year ago, until today.

    I sent messages to my friends and neighbors asking them to stop by if they were comfortable doing so. I put everything in single serving bags to minimize contact. I put a basket of them on my front porch for those who still need to avoid contact.

    Friday afternoon I was driving home from west Texas on a curvy two lane road. I was coming around curve Speeding like I always do. The oncoming pickup truck was drifting into my lane. I could see the guy looking down into his passenger seat. He just kept drifting over. I threw my truck into the ditch and jammed on the brakes; the guy behind me did the same. By the time we got stopped the oncoming guy was long gone. This incident drove home the fact that I’m a whole lot more likely to die on a lonely road in the middle of nowhere than from the virus.

    It’s spring time in Texas, a time for renewal and rebirth.

    Y’all get to Texas on a Sunday afternoon you should stop and have a piece of pie. Bring your appetite and a mask.

    Cheers

    What a magnificent post Rodeo. Of course, I feel terribly for the actual event, but I love your response to it. Indeed, there are far more likely things that will kill us than this virus.

    The food looks yummie!

    Glad you are still with us!

    It is for reasons like this we should never say no to pie. Glad you made out in one piece Cowboy.
