Upon getting back into the swing of things here in Bryan, Texas, the first place we re-establish contact with is the Messina Hof winery which is about a mile from our house. They always have an interesting wine seminar on the last Sunday of the month and this month was all about the history of Texas wines which was really interesting. Here is a fun shot of the entrance to the winery ... little cherubs and all ... or whatever.






Then we celebrated my Dad's 93rd birthday at a local Italian restaurant. Yes it was really 93 years young, not 33 as the baloons show in this shot ... even though he still tries to act 33 on occasion! And this picture is in the garden room of their home and not at the restaurant, however, the food at the Cenare restaurant was, as always, excellent.






And the last shot for today is of our truly Texas front door glass as the sun came up this morning. Beautiful sunrise to start off a nice 70 degree Texas day in the Lone Star State!

Happy Halloween 2009 Y'all!
