March Catch Up

The first weekend in March we made a trip to the Beaumont/Houston area for business and to visit our relatives. These first two pictures are of a Russian tanker ship going down the river by Tommy's old home place. This was often what he saw out the windows of his home. Very interesting to watch. (Click to enlarge.) Blogger is being very frustrating today. It will not let me put spaces where they are needed so I appoligize for any confusion of what explination goes with what picture.

Notice the two little tug boats on either side to help guide it up the river.

This is great niece Miss Olivia, Sabrina's daughter. She is a little doll.

Olivia with great nephews, Kyler and Keaton, Rachel's twin boys. Olivia call's them "her boy's. She walks around and say's "Where are my boy's" or "I'm going to find my boy's." More like brother's and sister than cousins.

A few days this past week we spent in Austin and one day we went to the Oasis for lunch. If you are ever in Austin, this place is a must see. It is on a hill overlooking Lake Travis and has the most awsome view. It is called the "Sunset Capitol of Texas." The food is Mexican, with some steak or seafood also on the menu. We had their Nacho's and they were very good. This place will be on our list of places to go and eat when we are in the area.

Entrance

The view from our table.

About 1:30 the sun began to make it's appearance on the tables, so out come the umbrella's.

Another view of the lake from our area.

The restaurant has many different levels of patio's so everyone can have a good view, unless a umbrella is is in the way, but you can usually move your chair around and still see good. However, that is what makes lunch time the best time to go, no umbrella's yet or be able to get on first or second row of tables.

One of the multi million dollar homes you can see on the side of hill.

Today Tommy planted some flowers and here are the results. This is our own little "Oasis."
