Bangers and Mash with Mushroom and Onion Gravy

Home cooking with my darling wife! (I'm cookin') What a fine time! Now where is that cold beer???

Just one left!

We have one kitten left for adoption. Callie is a tortise shell female. She is 3 months old, well socialized and has had all her shots. She has also been spayed. Anybody want to adopt a wonderful, loving kitten??

Seared Salmon with Florentine Wild Rice and Steamed Cauliflower

Yes, it's what's for dinner, and I made it. A glass of pinot and my wife make for a wonderful dinner!

Fisherman's Wharf

We went to Fisherman's Wharf (restaurant) for lunch today in Galveston. The lobster and crab bisque was awesome! We had a great view out of the window into Galveston Bay of the Elissa. We could also see a Carnival Cruise cruise ship from our table. I've never seen one in person and it was enormous!

Lonestar Park

Today we went to Lonestar Park. I've never been to horse races before. I think I'll place a bet on a long shot just for kicks!

Dallas World Aquarium

We went with my neice during her summer visit, today. It's a great place and you should all visit sometime. We took the DART rail system and saved on gas and parking. What a great time!

At last, the rain has come!

It has been what seems like ages since we have had a decent rainfall grace our neighbourhood. We've just recently had the ash tree stump left from last spring's tornado gound to mulch and a couple other volunteer trees removed as well. The rain quenching our dry lawn is icing on the yard work cake! We're also taking advantage of the rain and collecting some for watering plants.
Rain has a mysterious quality (at least to me) the rejuvinates the spirit and inspires creativity. I wonder if there is any scientific phenomena at work with air pressure, temperature chage, or whatever that is quantfiable in a way that might influence people emotionally, psycologicly, chemically or otherwise. I always feel most creative during rainfall. Maybe I should go grab a pen...
