Changing to Changas . . .
As I said yesterday we had get-together planned for today at the Friendswood Texas Roadhouse with some old Alvin Opry friends. But that all came to a screeching halt when I went to their website to check over the menu and found that during the week they don’t open until 3pm.
So Jan got on the phone to update everyone and try to reschedule. We thought about changing to 3pm, but several people had conflicts. So we kept the time and changed the location to the Jimmy Changas on I-45 at Victory Lakes.
But even then one person couldn’t make it, but told us to go on ahead anyway.
One thing I’ve always liked about the décor here are the imagative chandeliers, like this one.
Jan got the Pollo Mariscos a chicken breast covered in a cream sauce with Shrimp and Crawfish.
I got the Plato Soldado (Soldier Plate) a combo plate with a little bit of everything.
The price on this plate includes a $2 donation to Camp Hope, a organization that helps veterans. Nice.
Here’s today’s motely crew.
Next up before heading home we made an HEB stop for a few things along the way, finally getting home a little after 5pm.
Recently I been checking out some of those apps that let you colorize black and white photos.
The ones I’ve found seem to do a good job in colorizing faces, but they often make incorrect assumptions about the colors of clothing and things in the background. So I’ve been looking for one that lets you change colors rather than just take what the AI gives you.
But as I go along I’ve been running some of my family photos through the apps, like this one of my grandmother Clara Calvin.
I have no idea how old she is here, maybe in her 30’s or 40”s. She was born in 1892 and died at the age of 93 in 1985.
And here is what one of the Colorizer apps came up with.
I have no idea about the real color of her dress, but it looks good.
And I am still looking at other apps that would allow me to change the color of her dress if I wanted.
