Glen and I attended a funeral this morning at FBC.
The children and grandchildren spoke such loving tributes to Mr. Hatfield. Every person can only hope to have loving and kind words spoken at the end of their life.
We then stayed to assist with the family meal that was served after the visit to the cemetery.
It is interesting to we "northern" visitors the differences in the food culture. Today's meal was smoked brisket--the best ever, Charo beans--fancy, well-seasoned pinto beans, and Mexican rice. There was also potato salad, pasta salad, and various salads and desserts.
Let me describe the Charo beans. Dried pinto beans were soaked overnight, then seasoned with onion, tomato, cilantro, jalapeno, and bacon, and cooked until the beans are tender. They were delicious!
We chose not to go to the weigh-in for Day 3 of the bass tournament as it was 104 degrees when we finished at the church. Tomorrow is the final day, temperatures are to be 20 degrees cooler, so will probably watch the final 12 weigh in.
Hope you are having a good week end. I am hearing "snow", "accumulations",
"cold" come from the Missouri area. Br-r-r....
