Halloween

We had a brilliant Halloween again this year kicking off with our street party. Here are a variety of pictures of a great night.

The following are Sarah's attempts at face painting with Nannie & Jean. Guess who's who !!!!!!

Gordon & Liz

Gordon & Liz ventured over to Houston in October and we all had a great time together. Brogan has made friends for life and can't wait for them to come back.

" I loved the pigs ears you bought me, they were nice and crunchy yum......." love Brogan xx Looks like they were in New York but no its Houston. We were at Red Robin where you get one of the best burgers in town.

Tucking in - eat up Gordon remember its bottomless fries - all the chips you can eat!!!!!!

Here we are at the China Bear - buffet and chinese art shop and below watching the Koi at the entrance to the restuarant.

Thanks Sarah for taking this picture, you did a good job. Probably the only one we managed to get with all four of us together.

A day out at the Texas Renaissance Festival. A very weird and wonderful day people watching. As you can see we were dressed normally but for the faithful attendees, they were dressed up as fairies, elves, insects and anything else weird. Check out http://www.texrenfest.com/ for pictures.

A visit to the Sam Houston Memorial was also on the cards. The one below shows Gordon & Liz at the bottom of the Statue. Its Texas so its big!!!!!!!!!

Here they enjoy a panoramic view of Downtown Houston from the J. P. Morgan Chase Building.

At the Woodlands Town Center. We never did find time to go on the boat. You will just have to come back again next year.

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.
