Gulliver’s and Grandkids . . .
This morning started early (well, early for us) when we headed out about 10am to drop Jan off at Chris’ so she and Miss Piper could have a girl’s day out.
And they had a pretty full day planned. First up was a movie with the new Jack Black film Gulliver’s Travels in 3D on the schedule.
After that it was lunch at the Texas Tea Room, a place that our friend Barbara Cutsinger had recommended, but we had never tried.
After that it was shopping, shopping, shopping for the rest of the afternoon.
Nick Russell called about 3:30 to talk over things and complain about how cold it is in Florida right now. He does kind of have a point, though.
It’s colder in Central Florida than it is here in Texas. Of course, Nick’s not happy if he doesn’t have something to snivel about. If it’s not the weather, then it’s high bridges, or something else.
Jan was hardly home and in her jammies when our friend Maria called to see if we wanted to meet them in about 30 minutes right down the road at La Brisa.
Hey, it’s Mexican, we’re there.
Then later, our daughter Brandi called to catch us up on their trip to see Lowell’s family in Oklahoma. They had a great time and Mister Landon slept the whole trip back. We also made a date to meet them Wednesday night at Pappasito’s Cantina, another good local Mexican place.
And, of course, we’re meeting Maria tomorrow night at Monterey’s Little Mexico before she and Jan head down to La Marque for bingo. And Miss Piper might be going too. We’ll see.
Of course, that means we’ll be having Mexican 3 nights in a row. I don’t see a problem with that, do you?
In fact years ago, when the kids were little, we ate at the same Mexican restaurant every night for a week. What can I say, we liked the place.
Our friends George and Sandy Stoltz sent us this picture of their new grandson.
We have agreed that our grandsons are tied for The Best Looking Baby Boy of 2010.
And I have to take this opportunity to embarrass our granddaughter Piper, who I think won the title of The Best Looking Baby Girl of 1993. And she’s only gotten more lovely every since.
Of course she probably won’t be speaking to me for a while since I put these photos on the blog again.
Oh, and did I say she’s really smart, too.
And since I’m making family members mad at me, here’s a photo of our beautiful daughter Brandi, along with Miss Piper again. This was taken at Bubba Gump’s Seafood in Time Square last year when they both came up to visit us and see New York.
It’s easy to see why they’re often mistaken for sisters, even thought they’re aunt and niece.
Well, I’ve alienated enough family for one blog post, so that’s about it for today.
More tomorrow…

If you agree with the French raise your hand – And if you are French, raise both hands. (This one’s for you, Nick)
