Birthday Dinner

My artist tonight is Julio Iglesias.

Gene's birthday and mine fall in August and September and we are away from home at that time. So we have extended birthdays. He and I celebrate ours where ever we are and then when we get home we go out with the kids. So tonight was the dinner. And now I am enjoying one of my presents. The CD, "Romantic Classics", Julio Iglesias. You can check it out on iTunes. The songs are in English. He is my all time favorite singer. I met him in Bolivia at a concert, but he was a favorite before that. We saw him again in Chile. But, I did discover him in Bolivia. :) When I listen I always think of Bolivia and the kids. They have given me many of his albums/CDs for Christmas and birthdays. It was Joanna's turn this time. Jennie picked it out as well, but.. Larry was there, too .. and on time! It was a nice dinner and fun to have everyone together. Doesn't happen too often. David lives in Kentucky so he and his family could not be there, of course. Hope to see them around Thanksgiving.

Oh, there was art there. We ate at Hyde Park Bar and Grill South and Mike Etie's pastels were on dislay. Very nice. He is a member of the Austin Pastel Society. A very nice show.

My dinner was one of the worse dinners I have ever had in a restaurant, not even the pecan pie was able to erase the horrible taste. It stayed with me for a couple of days! Don't tell people it was a good dinner, Jennie's was not good and Larry did not care for his either. I guess you and Joanna were the only ones pleased withtheir dinner.

Ah, "nice dinner" I said, referring to the visit with the family. I should have been more explicit. I like the little tamales they make for a side. I don't remember what I ordered for a main dish, so it must have not been outstanding. :(

My dinner was delicious. All the way around. And, Jennie's leftovers (which I took home) were quite tasty. I don't know why she didn't like the catfish.

I am sorry about you and your meatloaf, Dad.

You can please some of the people all of the time. And all of the people some of the time, etc.......

Guess since Lone Star has sort of disappeared we are stuck on some of the people.... ha.

Hunan was very good tonight.

I guess it is all in the presentation and expectation. See you next time!
