Dallas - God works in mysterious ways

We got back to Dallas by 1pm as were only 150 miles away.  They got right to work on the on the hose to the black tank, even tho we were scheduled for Thursday.  I went to office lobby to use their wifi and later a first walk in a week cuz of rain and food poisoning.  Mike was busy with Shopcat, Marathon crew and swapping stories with the neighbor. Clayton and Priscilla were invited for dinner, but as the day wore on, it would be 8 until they arrived, so opted out until Thursday night.  Since we were grilling bacon wrapped pork loin stuffed with bou
din that we got at Holliers Meat shop and restaurant, we invited the neighbor, Tommy who was washing his coach with mineral free water filter system so, no spotting.  We guessed on the timing of the meat we wrapped in foil.  Taters and onions, applesauce, and garlic toast.  Tommy was delightful company and said he  never socialized this way cuz he's reserved and some fans have gone crazy in the past.  His wife and 13 year old son went to a church youth gathering tonight.  Before the evening was over, he shared his story. His dad owned a bar and Tommy had booze by age 3, alcoholic before a teenager, homeless, broke and millionaire before giving it up to follow music Florida time as a Christian cowboy musician based out of Nashville.  Not being g musical (Mike plays 80s  on 8 or ads of his favorites.) We didn't recognize Tommy Brandt.  www.tommybrandt.org
How humbling. Turns out he was entertainer of the year, vocalist of the year, etc.  Mamma's Arms, 3 nails.  God works in mysterious ways.  We enjoyed his company till 10.
