Leanne enjoyed a catch up here in Houston with Texas Pat, with R tagging along to keep things in order and so they wouldn’t talk about him. Texas Pat is a former practising  member of the Thursday craft group in Brisbane. She retains honorary membership having now returned to Houston. She passes best wishes to all who follow allthego. 

Texas Pat and Leanne at Lupe Tortilla

Lupe Tortilla is at Katy an outlying suburb of Houston, which is where Pat lives with husband Wes.  The Lupe speciality is a lime marinated beef fajita and it was rather good I must say.

Lupe Tortilla, no one took shortcuts here

Back at Texas Pat’s house we had tea and coffee and had a look at some of Wes’ hunting trophies. Quite an impressive collection including a black bear, moose head, a NZ elk and some rather large fish. Kerrie’s dad has  not long returned from a hunt where he bagged a deer. He is having the head and shoulders preserved for display, whilst the rest has made a significant quantity of various Venison cuts and sausages. Hunting runs in the blood down these parts.After some technical discussion around knitting and cross stitch we headed back to base.

Along the way we came across a  small herd of Long Horns .                                                                                                     

Texas Long Horn, looks a bit skinny and might be being fattened up!
