We ran some errands today and were going to go over to Cabela's in Gonzales (about an hour away), but we discovered the store is just now being built and won't be open until this fall.

This evening Cliff and Laska, friends of Dave and Grace's, came over for a nice long visit. I had met Cliff and Laska a few years ago when I came to visit Dave and Grace so it was fun to catch up with them. They are expecting their first grandchild any day now, too.

We had mufalato sandwiches, an area specialty that has different meats on the bottom, cheeses on the top and an olive salad in the middle, all surrounded by, and heated in, a special 12-inch diameter bun. Even though Roxanne and I don't care much for olives, the sandwiches were very tasty and we had seconds.
