Tonight we had the honor of being invited to the Trexler's Annual Fish Fry. Excellent deep fried delights and endless "sweet tea". There were diverse people in droves. The youngest... a hairbanned little pink fluff ball...the oldest....hmm.....not quite sure. The common thread..EVERYONE had a great time. The rain poured down onto the tinkling tin roof and the band played a little louder. Whenever there was a pause in the music, laughter filled the air and it was lovley. I am certain the Trexlers spent countless hours preparing for the event, exhaustion sneaking across their faces....yet they genuinely seemed pleased that everyone came. In true Trexler fashion, they smiled and hugged, and shook hands and patted backs. Even me...the transplant was made to feel that the evening might just have not been complete had we not been there.
I have been blessed and pray that my hospitality to others could be Trexler like in the future. Thanks be to God for this family and all they mean to so very many!
Alex's quote of the night.."Only 364 days 'till we get to go again".. and that friends...says it all!
