Galveston - August 25, 2006

When Donna and I get back from Austin on Friday with our Ashland Retiree trip, we will drive to Galveston. We are meeting Dan, Tammy and the boys for a weekend at the beach. Last year, both Jackson and Matthew enjoyed playing in the surf and now they are almost 3 so it should be a good experience for them. Ted Nugent is only 9 months old so I don't thing he is ready to get in water too deep. A trip to Moody Gardens should go well for our 3 grandsons. We will enjoy a meal on the Strand as well as some of the other Galveston restaurants.

John E Halbirt's 91st Birthday - Aug 13, 2006

John has celebrated his birthday here before. There will be his children John P. and Donna and their spouces, grandkids and greatgrandkids attending plus the caregivers and a few friends.

The second Monday of each month is the day we retired guys have wings and beer at Hooters. We go at 1:15 pm to avoid the lunch hour rush. Many are from our subdivision but we also are joined by area friends.
