On our way to Houston, we stopped to visit Paula and Steve and little Kenny in Lafette,La. It was so good go see them; it had been a long, long time. They have a cute place. We got to see their horses & the fixed up old barn. Stayed the nite and left in the morning. Steve the gumbo was excellent and Paula I loved the brownies!!
We finally got to Texas. 14 1/2 hours!! I had not seen their new house. It is really nice. Izzie is a little doll. Susan and Rob are great parents. They have lots of patience with her. She has been a bit of a challenge.
We went to the Houston Zoo. It is quite a large zoo. Izzie's favorite thing to do is RUN. So they are forever chasing after her. She was determined she was not riding on the merry go round!!
We also went to a Renaissance Fair. The three of them have costumes. They looked really great. It was really fun. A little difficult to describe. Most people were dressed for the event. They had music, rides and food.
Susan cooked for three days so we could have a gourmet Thanksgiving. We shopped at a really exclusive market where she had ordered a free range turkey. She made mint peas, glazed carrots, special stuffing and gravy BUT the best part was the chocolate lava cakes!! Those were really yummie.
We had a really great visit with them. We had a nightmare trip home. We decided to drive straight thru. When we got to I 75 there were so many accidents you could not count them. We were tied up with stop and go traffic for two hours. We got home at one o clock AM
