John & Joanne's Visit

Thank you for coming to visit, we really enjoyed having you and catching up with all your news. It all passed far too quickly - so please come back soon.

Here we all are enjoying the sunshine at Galveston Beach.
We then went to Moody Gardens - fancy a trip down the swanee river ?

Stuart's Visit & Birthday

Sarah getting a guitar lesson from Stuart.
Enjoying a lovely meal at 'Ricos' our local Mexican Restuarant.
Stuart's birthday was celebrated Texas style with a BBQ and copious amounts of red wine. Stuart was over here working and we took advantage of being able to spend time with him. It was great seeing you. Happy Birthday.

Back to school at last!!!!

After 12 weeks of fun in the sun it was back to school on Monday for Sarah. Yipee!!! Brogan was sad to see her go and wouldn't leave her side, he wanted to go to school too.

A Birthday lunch.

Having lunch to celebrate my friend Marilyn's birthday (the one on the right). The middle one is Angie. We went to The Grotto, a very nice Italian restuarant. Not much wonder the pounds are piling on!!!!.

Lake Livingston

About an hours drive away is the beautiful Lake Livingston. As you can see at the opposite end of the lake a thunderstorm was brewing, however, we had a lovely picnic on the 'sunny' side of the Lake.


We went on one of the hiking trails which can be found all round the Lake.

Johnny, Janette & Jodie visit

We had a great time with you and hope you enjoyed your visit to Texas. Johnny relaxed at the pool while the 'girls' went shopping.Out for a walk in the town centre. It took us a minute to realise no one else was out walking - it may have something to do with it being 100F.
Enjoying the cool of the water fountains at Waterway Square. At night the fountains are coloured and choreographed to music.



Becasue my cooking skills are not too hot it was best to eat out. Not much wonder our weight has gone up since coming to Texas.




Here we have Brogan drooling over Jodie patiently waiting for some key lime pie. Brogan behaved with our visitors (well as good as it gets with Brogan) and says he misses his nightly treat of a white box (doggie bag from the restuarants). 9 times out of 10 the box got eaten too!!!!!

As you can see we have a full house.

Janette & Jodie arrived in time to celebrate Sarah's birthday.
