Well February has been a very busy month in our household. On the 13th Ross celebrated his birthday which he shares with Richie. Our Texas family hosted a great night for them both.
A few days later once Lauren and Jono arrived we had another birthday dinner this time sharing it with Lauren and Albert at Kirby's restaurant.
Gruene also has the Gruene Hall which was built in 1878 by Richard Gruene and it is the oldest continually run dance hall in Texas. It was the set for the film Michael which starred John Travolta (dance scene below) and has staged concerts by Willie Nelson, George Strait, Gregg Allman, Australian Casey Chambers and thousands of others.
Lauren and Jono were particularly fond of the food served at Rudy's the Worst BBQ in Texas.
However we did vary our diet and took in some Italian cuisine. Anyone for a calzone?
Aly and TJ were kind enough to show our friends some of the night life at Gruene. This night they were at the Gruene Dance Hall.
A great night was had by all.
Lauren, The Texas Cowgirl.
Jono and Lauren enjoyed the evening together.
The evening before they departed back to Australia, Lauren and Jono cooked us all a great meal and who better to share it with then our dear friends, Albert, Mary Alice, Aly, TJ , Adrian and Cameron.
We were so delighted that Lauren and Jono made the long trip to visit with us. We had a great time with them and hope that they may find their way back here in the future. It was also a joy to introduce them to our friends. We had lots of laughter and good times.
More to follow,
Beverley and Ross
Sure looks like a lot of fun! People come to visit you because you are such great hosts! Now you need to think about doing a day trip up to Dallas - we will arrive there on Friday 24th May there as my daughter catches a flight home to Copenhagen on 25th May, and other Aussie friends fly in to travel in the RV with us for a week. Hope to see you there??
ReplyDeleteThank you and we hope to see you in Dallas
