After a quiet morning we headed out about 12:15 to meet our longtime friends, Bob and Maria, at the IHOP over in Seabrook.
We’ve known them since the mid-80’s when we first met at a local computer store and have been fast friends ever since.
Besides a good breakfast, we spent about 3 hours catching up from our last get-together, and we plan to get back together again soon.
Coming home a little before 5pm we realized we were a little hungry, but not a lot. So, passing Pho20 we stopped for a light supper of one of their delicious House Crunch Salads and a Shrimp Spring Roll, just the perfect amount of dinner.
I forgot to post this photo of my Sweetie last night at Chuy’s,
showing off her Christmas sweater and Christmas earrings.
While we were there, I also found the ceiling in our dining room kind of neat.
Shiny!
I’ve mentioned that we’ve been going through a lot of old albums and photos and I came across a couple really old ones.
This is Jan and I in the Spring of 1968 when we were visiting her parents down in Titusville, FL. Jan’s about seven months pregnant with our son Chris.
And here’s my Sweetie in 1964, she says probably at Westover AFB in MA.
Beautiful even back then. She sure hasn’t changed a lot in 50 years.
I mentioned in Thursday’s blog that the Galveston County Animal Control truck had come by checking out the house, yard, and dog next door. We didn’t call them, but someone did. And apparently someone across the fence saw the Animal Control truck also,
So Jan was happy to see someone next cleaning up the dog’s area, drying out his shelter, redoing his slide line, and putting down a couple of bales of hay to make a bed and dry things out.
Made Jan’s day.
Tomorrow afternoon we’re driving down to Galveston to meet up with an old friend at the Original Mexican Café on 14th St. Looking forward to seeing Linda again.
The Headline of the Day: Six Flags Great Adventure cancels snowball fight because of . . . snow.
Thought for the Day:

Snow Flurries? No, 2” of Snow Instead . . .
When I went to bed this morning about 1pm, I looked outside and it was not snowing. But a few minutes after 7 when Jan got up, I heard her squealing.
Getting up and looking out, it was, to quote Landon, ‘a winter wonderland’.

That’s 2” on the ruler.

In case you’re wondering, that snow in my rain gauge melted out to .25” of rain.
Although the ground was covered in snow, the roads were clear and not slick at all, so I had no problem getting to work.
It never got out of the 30’s today, with high 20’s tonight. But tomorrow we’re looking for low 60’s That’s Texas weather,what can I say.
I spent most of the day repairing epilator cords. Going through some old cabinets I found a box of cords of all different types, many with no or broken connectors. When I ask my client about them he said no one had been able to repair them.
Don’t know who had worked on them before, but by the time I left a little before 4pm, I had 17 of them repaired. And most of them only needed to be resoldered, so I don’t know what the problem was. The other few did need new connectors made, which I did out of old ballpoint pen tubes and heat shrink tubing. They looked almost new.
I’ve still got about a dozen more to go that I should finish up on Monday. Unless another crisis rears its head.
Getting home about 4:45, Jan and I headed right back out and up I-45 to the Chuy’s Mexican Restaurant up in Webster. And yes, we had Mexican just last night.. What’s your point?
We pretty much go to Chuy’s for their Mexi-Cobb Salad along with their Creamy Jalapeno Dressing.
But I also started out with a small bowl of their Chicken Tortilla Soup. Very good, and filled with chicken and white cheese.
Then for dessert we shared a piece of their Tres Leches cake, but we were so full that we had to bring h half of it home.
We’ve got a busy social schedule for the weekend, with lunch tomorrow with old friends, Bob and Maria, followed up with dinner on Sunday with another old friend down in Galveston at the Old Mexican Café.
Really looking forward to both get-togethers.
