Great Sunset . . .
Not much going on today.
After a lazy morning of coffee and conversation, we left about 12:30 to head over to Brand’s. Jan was going to Landon-sit while Brandi took a nap.
After dropping Jan off I headed out to check on new tires for the truck. (See Nick. I told you I’d get new tires when I got back to Houston.) I checked out three different places, and I’ll go back to NTB tomorrow to get them installed.
I told Jan I’d give her two hours of private Landon time before I came back, so to kill a little more time, I stopped off at Starbucks to get a Cinnamon Dolce Latte and catch up on some reading.
Getting back to Brandi’s about 3 pm, I got in some Landon bottle feeding time and even got a couple of good burps out of him.
About 3:30 pm we headed back to the rig, stopping off at La Brisa on SH 146 in Bacliff for dinner. I had their great Chicken Tortilla Soup and Jan had the Shrimp Nachos.
We got back to the rig about 5:30 and settled in for the night. A little later we got to enjoy this great sunset.
This shot in the other direction shows lights from the many refineries in Texas City.

Happy Birthday, Brandi Leigh White Morrison . . .
First off, I want to wish our daughter Brandi a Happy Birthday. Here she is with her husband, Lowell.
I spent this morning checking in with several clients, and catching up on things. Then on the way home I stopped by the bank. I love the new ATM deposit feature where you just stick your checks in and it does it all for you.
I know Nick Russell is always looking for local attractions to check out for the Gypsy Journal, so I thought he might want to check this one out when he comes this way.
And, of course, here’s your obligatory Landon “Ahhhhh” moment.
About 4:30 pm we all (except for Chris’ wife, Linda, who had to work) met at Chuy’s, a Mexican restaurant we really like. We have eaten at the one down in the Galleria area a number of times, but they just opened a new one yesterday right here in the Clear Lake area. A lot more convenient.
And, of course, being all together, we all got some quality Landon time.
Landon started out sleeping peacefully in his carrier, but that didn’t last long.
Here’s “Nana” Jan
“Papa” Greg
“Uncle” Chris
And here’s a great shot of our son Chris, and our granddaughter Piper.
More tomorrow…
