Last night the rain came in to southern Texas, deterring the plans of all our house guests travelling on Friday night – about 8 inches overnight and in this low lying part of the USA instigates severe flood warnings.
Woke up this morning to a very damp landscape, even though the rain had subsided.
The jetty was under water and the lake banks almost up to the grass level.
The temperature had also cooled off.
It was party day today for Polly (Chucks mum) and Don (Tonas dad), 90 and 80 respectively.
Tona, Chuck, Russ, Sue and Mary (Tonas sister) went to the church hall at 10am to set up and decorate for the 1pm party kick off.
Plenty of practice for these Kiwis, as many a ‘Bonnici Day out’ has been had and party set up is par for the course.
Pink for Polly (strawberry cake)
Chocolate for Don!
Plus a lot of food for lunch. The rain held off and a great time was had by all.
Polly and Don being serenaded (happy birthday) and ready to blow out the candles.
Polly and her two Boys, Chuck and Garry!
It was our hosts work Christmas party tonight, so the kiwis are hanging out at the homestead with family members down for the weekend!
This weekend is all about socialising and catching up with friends before we pack our bags….
