Busy Party Day ...

May 28, 2014

A busy and exciting day for Nixon ...

he was invited to his friends birthday party ...

it was held at the mall ... with the big Carousel ...

and Mary Poppins arrived to surprise the birthday girl ...

the kids had a great time riding on the Carousel ...

Taking a break at the mall ...

before we headed out to go shopping ...

at Oma's favourite store ...

Mike's good friend invited us for dinner ...

at the Spindletop Revolving Restaurant ... in downtown Houston ...

we had not seen him in about 20 years ...

He was delighted when Mike contacted him ...

to let him know we were going to be in the area ....

Britt had been working with Mike a long time ago in Calgary ...

we had invited him to our home to spend the weekend with us ...

He felt this was the perfect place for us to get together ...

We enjoyed a lovely evening ... visiting ... reminiscing ... laughing and eating ... !!!

Some pictures  of the Houston area ...  from the top of the restaurant ...

the building were so high around us ... the only way we could see the sunset ... 

was on the reflection on the mirrored building ...

It was great spending the evening together ... it seemed as if no time had passed at all ...

since we had seen each other ...

Britt still hopes to come and visit us again ...

this time with his family ...
