Thursday, Aug 25, 2011 - Galveston

The Harris County Pct 3 bus departed at 10:30 am from Memorial City Shopping Center near JC Penney. Ashland Retiree Club had lunch at Mario's Seawall Italian Restaurant with a buffet luncheon or order from the menu. This is Galveston's oldest Italian restaurant.

After a seafood and pasta buffet, we drove to the Moody Mansion. The 28,000 square-foot, four-story structure was completed in 1895. Today, guests visit 20 rooms on a tour that depicts the home life of a powerful Texas family. Our next stop was the Lone Star Flight Museum to look at the war birds that served our country in World War II. After out tour of the planes, the bus returned our group to Houston.

Supper Club - Saturday, Aug 20, 2011

Donna and I were host this month for the Supper Club group that has been meeting for over 30 years. We normally go to one of the members homes but we chose to do it at Juanita's Mexican Grill this time. There was a lucky number of 13 in our party and we all had a good time even though there were a few in the group that do not prefer Mexican food.

If you have enough margaritas and beer with the appetizers before dinner is served, the food tastes better. Donna and I have enjoyed Juanita's Mexican Grill with family for several years.

Silver Eagles Poem

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.
