Visitor from Texas

On Sunday night, my uncle Butch from Dallas called to tell me that he’d be in San Jose for business and wanted to take Danny and I out for dinner. We agreed to meet him at his hotel and then go someplace nice to eat. We ended up eating at one of his favorite local spots, Brandons. It was sooo good. That’s all I have to say. My mere words cannot do the seafood or wine justice.
Here we are looking stuffed and happy.

My uncle is one of my favorite relatives whom I only get to see on holidays or at the occasional birthday celebration.
After we told him about our cross-country adventures getting all of our stuff from Texas to the west coast, he shared some stories about the trips he, my dad, aunt, and grandparents took while he was a kid. Mind you, this was BEFORE air-conditioning. Now I believe it when my Dad says “aw, you kids have it easy these days.” Dad, I think I finally understand and am amazed you survived those wretched summer months without AC. Hats off to you.

    I like your blog! Your picture quality sucks though. Or my monitor sucks. I don’t know. You may have to invest in a new cam when you get that job!! LOVE YOU MISS YOU–

    The pics are ok, but your lighting is sub-par. Not that you could help that in a restaurant. I’m skeptical about you needing a new camera.

    Yeah, I think I’ll pass on the new camera for now. I had to shrink the pics considerably. The one of Danny and I looks really good at normal size, but I’m guessing you guys don’t want a full page of just us.
