A very long day of airports and airplanes yesterday, landed two tired kiwis in Houston Texas around 3pm local time (10pm euro time)
Thank goodness our friends, Tona and Chuck, were there to meet us on arrival and navigate the roads back to our home for the next three weeks – Lake Jackson!
Last night we got to sleep very late Euro time (2.30am) and very early Texas time (7.30pm) so this morning we were up early local time… from now on we are on Texas time. (Even though right now our bodies may disagree). The joys of travelling around the world!
Coffee by the pool – sunrise around 7am. And the sun came up bright and warm.
The kiwi flag is flying next to the US flag to welcome us.
A wander down to the lake and pontoon, being wary of the bobcat family living in the bush behind the house, and alligators that live in the lake!
Nope didn’t see an alligator, but we are assured they are there.
The neighbours dogs, golden doodles, (there was four of them) spied me and came running over to say hello, one barking and another jumping on me for cuddles.
Tona took Russ and I into the township, before the family arrived, and we are having an afternoon of cooking in preparation for thanksgiving tomorrow.
The chocolate and pecan pies cooking in the oven..really looking forward to tomorrow!
Now after a sunny morning, in good fall Texas weather, we have thunder and rain. Great afternoon to be inside with the smells of pies cooking!
We are very spoiled in this part of the world and privileged to share this special time of year with our friends and their family. I’m guessing thanksgiving feast will test the flexibility if our stomachs!
All who wander are not Lost girls
