During the last two weeks we have served as hosts to Ryan Hill, a talented young veteran of many political campaigns who came in to assist Wendy Davis's effort at election to Congress. We enjoyed having Ryan with us even though the final two weeks of a Congressional campaign does not allow much social life for its workers. We usually saw Ryan very briefly during breakfast in the mornings and sometimes for a few minutes at bedtime -- providing that bed time came around midnight.
Our longest visit with Ryan was today, after yesterday's painful ending of our beloved candidate's 2022 political quest. Ryan rode with us to Acworth's legendary Henry's Louisiana Grill where we met Wendy for a delicious lunch before he left to visit Atlanta friends for a couple of days. He will fly home to South Bend, Indiana on Friday.
Henry's was a real treat. I had the Louisiana Ooh La La which was chicken, oysters, and crawdads in a delicious sauce over pasta. Sheila had gumbo. We also shared some hush puppies. All the dishes came with a salad and a sweet/peppery cornbread and small slices of a sourdough bread. It was all delicious.
A passerby agreed to take our picture afterwards in front of Henry's as we said goodbye.

Thank you so much for your kind hospitality! Every time we did get to talk, I enjoyed hearing your stories Terrel. You and Sheila made it such a welcoming stay while I was there. I hope to see you both again and I hope the rest of this year holds joy for you both!
