Visited with Larissa and Arianna

Since Lari was out of school today for Martin Luther King Day, we visited most of the day with them.   We went to Chuck e Cheese and had some fun.   I forgot my camera and since Lari got a camera for Christmas, she brought hers along.  She is good at taking pictures.

These two sweethearts just take all our worries away when we are with them.

 

Lari takes our picture from across the table.

Grandpa divides the tokens evenly.

Off they are to take turns....

Back to have lunch....

More gaming and riding....

Lari takes more pics.

     

     

Arianna did not want to take a picture with Chuck....he is too big!

I sit with her and Lari takes our picture!  

  

Grandpa waits for us as we play.....Lari took the picture.  Good job!

A picture of a picture....Lari's idea.   She has the same idea as I do sometimes.

What a wonderful day we had!   Tomorrow I will go visit my Mother.   Until next time....

We Are Now Home

We arrived in San Antonio at about 3:30 this afternoon.   We are exhausted and have a very busy week ahead of us.   We will go spend the day with our granddaughters since Lari is out of school and we have not seen them since they left on their vacation.   I will go see mom and spend time with her.   On Thursday, we will head out to the Houston area to attend two RV Rallies; one with the Lone Star Allegros and the other with the DeMondtrond Travelers.   We have decided to stay in the Houston area for about 10 days since the rallies are on consecutive weekends. 

I also wanted to share pictures my brother took last night while we had gone out to dinner and I forgot my camera.   He is like me; he takes his camera everywhere he goes.   He got a blog started and is as active on it as I am.   We both enjoy picture taking....   Enjoy!

We had such a nice visit and had a delicious dinner, outstanding dessert and just had a great time with my brother, Jesse and his wife, Berta.

 

Landry's signature salad was sooooo goooood!

The Broiled Catfish Manuel ordered was good, too.  My Shrimp Scampi was very very good.

My Brother wanted one of each for dinner but had to settle on some Chicken.

We ordered two deserts and shared.  MMMMMMM!!!

We drove around Corpus' T-Heads.....so pretty at night.

We called it a night at about 11:30.   Jesse and Berta, Thank you so much for treating us.   Thank you so much for also being at the services this weekend.   That meant a lot to us and the family.   Love you all.

The Day of The Funeral

Manuel Jr. came in last night and spent the night with us.   We woke up this Saturday morning to a nice sunny day but it was pretty cold and windy.  We went to have breakfast before heading to the 10 am Funeral Mass.

The funeral mass was so beautiful.   The priest had some beautiful words to say about Oscar.  The big church was packed again.....Oscar was such a good man.  He was a very caring young man. His students cried so much!

We followed the procession down Ocean Drive.  Oscar loved the beach and loved sunsets....

There were several tables set us with pictures, favorite Bible scriptures, etc.

The Church has a ministry that prepares meals for the family after funerals.  The hall was full of family and friends.  The food was very good.

Sylvia, Corina, Olga, Alicia and me.   We all went to high school and graduated together, except Corina, of course.  Olga baptized our Daughter, Corina.  It sure was nice to see Olga. 

Tommie Gutierrez and Sylvia.

The Priest who performed all of the services.

Yvette and a friend took care of setting up all the pictures and things....

 

There was a lot of fellowship.   We had not seen some of these friends since we left Driscoll in 1971.

Sone is heading home so we say goodbye.

Gilbert Garcia and Robert graduated the same year.   Manuel and I had not seen him in 40 years....

Manuel took a really nice picture of Sone.  

Cousins, Robert Jr. and Peter with uncle Mauro.

All the cousins enjoyed their time together.

Robert & Sylvia and Manuel and I.

We returned to the Coach in the early afternoon.   Manuel Jr. headed home to his family and Corina also left today.  We rested for a while.  Nice day but still on the cool side.

 

We had made plans to visit with my brother, Jesse and his wife, Berta at about 6 pm.  They attended all of the services but we were not able to visit much.   They wanted to take us to dinner so we went to Landry's by the sea.....We had a great dinner.  I forgot my camera, but my brother had his camera and took a few pictures.  I may borrow some from his blog later....We had another beautiful day with Family.

Love you, Oscar. You are another Angel in heaven watching over all of us. Mijo, you are missed so much already!
