Dad visits

Dad came up to visit us last Thursday. We went out for some tasty dinners at an italian place called Rocco's on Thursday & tried out the new steakhouse in Steiner Ranch on Friday. Both were very good. The steakhouse is 3 stories and has an amazing view of Lake Travis, but also serves up some really great food! We'll definitely go again. Dad & I also explored a Texas vineyard near Austin called Stonehouse Vineyard. They only have 6 acres of vines so they make only 2 wines at their winery, but they partner with a vineyard in Australia and have some pretty good bottles from there. The tasting was fun and the drive out to the vineyard through the hills was beautiful. Saturday we headed down to San Antonio for a Massey Reunion, but detoured through Lockhart so my dad could taste some of the wonderful BBQ we keep talking about. Then on to the reunion. It was great to see family on my dad's side that I hadn't visited with in a while, some in 10 or 20 years! The gathering was to celebrate my grandfather's sister Josilee turning 100.

The Massey cousins that were able to make it to the reunion: (from left) Charles & Jackie Lowery, my dad & his 3 sisters to his left, Kay, Becky & Sue, and Patricia Hopkins in front.

I wonder what you wish for at age 100?!?
