Out and About in San Antonio

Hi,its been a while since our last entry so we thought we would give you a flavour of our life here when we are not travelling.  Recently we have the opportunity to celebrate birthdays and important events with some of our friends here.  As you know Beverley works for Aspen Medical USA and have the pleasure of working with great colleagues.  Soojin Min, our finance director, recently celebrated her birthday so we all took her out to a birthday lunch.  This was her birthday cake.

This is happy Soojin enjoying her day.

Another member of staff is Shelby and this is her birthday cake.

Lynn and Ed we have know for 20 years and they joined us for Lynn's birthday.  We all met when we were posted to Fort Sam Houston.  Lynn and Ed were both in the US Nurse corps and on our frequent trips to San Antonio we have always meet for lunch or dinner and shared a drink or to.  They are wonderful people.

Back to Soojin who recently became a U.S citizen.  We were privileged to be invited to the ceremony and here is the photo of us all with a very new American.  The group consists of Soojin, her husband and daughter ( her son had a cold so was home with grand mother), Pat and us.  Following this we went out for a great lunch.

Recently HQ Australia sent Andrew (in the middle) over to travel with Butch (on the right ) to a conference in South America.  It was a good opportunity to get a photo of Wayne, our operations director, Butch (the boss) and  Andrew.  It was interesting to hear an Australian accent again.  Do we really sound like that?

You would have seen these guys before in earlier blogs.  Yes it is Albert and his precious boys Adrian and Cameron.  These kids are a whiz with Lego's and were proudly showing dad their handy work.

This is what it looks like.

This is really what it looks like.

This is more of their handy work.

Its now baseball season and Texas A&M is Albert and Mary Alice's alma marta.  One of the A&M players is a fellow by the name of  Johnny Manziel (Johnny Football) who is great on the field but tends to push the envelop a bit and gets into strife every now and then.  This is a helmet that he signed which he was not supposed to.  Albert is now the proud owner of this and it will be worth a fortune some time in the future.

We had to have a group photo with said helmet.

Both Adrian and Cameron play base ball and this is what an evening practice looks like.

No blog would be complete with out a photo of food.  This was an Asian meal at P.F.Changs.

The next big event on the calender will be Halloween.  The shops have all of their wares on sale even the Hardware stores (this is Lowes)

Even hanging from the ceiling.  It will be a scary event.

So until our next entry, stay happy and well.

Beverley  and Ross
