Old Friends and Good Food . . .
We had a really nice surprise today.
Pat and Judy Benson showed up at our gate.
And they brought Rudy’s BBQ too.
Along with Al and Adrienne Cox, Pat and Judy are our oldest RV friends. We all first met when Jan and I spent 5 months in Fairbanks, AK in 2008, and since then we’ve kept in touch. We even visited them in June of 2010 when we came through Salt Lake City, UT where they live nearby. But it was a real surprise to get an email from them yesterday saying they were in College Station and wanted to come visit us on the gate.
Turns out they were in CS visiting their daughter, Jan, who’s a 4 grade teacher there and came over with them.
They got here a little after 11, and being faithful blog readers, and knowing our penchant for BBQ, they brought Rudy’s.
Luckily we weren’t too busy so we were able to catch up on things as we scarfed down the ‘Q’. One of the meats they brought was Rudy’s Pulled Pork, and I realized I’d never had the pulled pork from there. I always get the brisket, ribs and sausage. So it was a real treat to check it out.
They were able to spend a couple of hours with us, and we really enjoyed seeing them again. Maybe we’ll be able to make it back out to UT in the near future.
It just couldn’t get any better that this. Well, maybe if Al and Adrienne were here too. Then it would be the whole Alaska gang. But hopefully we’ll be able to get together with them in Tucson next March when we’re there for the 2015 55th Escapade.
Speaking of the Escapade, I just made our reservations for the event, and it seems they’re filling up fast, so if you’re planning to go, don’t dawdle.
I’m hoping that Jan and I will be able to give our Gate Guarding Seminar this time. We were planning on doing it at the Escapade in Goshen, IN this past May, but Jan’s medical issues forced us to cancel. Hopefully it will work out this year.
Brandi sent over some Landon pics of him at the Katy Rice Harvest Festival today.
Looks like he’s having his usual good time, and attracting cute girls too.
