Day 28, Beaumont, Texas at a Sleep Inn and Suites

"An Ode to Trees" without words. This is for Mary J. who misses trees. This is a live Oak in the Houston Garden, it has leaves and no snow on them. A live oak's wood is three to four times as strong as a regular oak. Mary writes a blog and lamented about her missing tree's down in the Arizona desert outback .















This is one of the best bronze statues I have ever seen cast with a real resemblance.








Guarding the Pres










Spent a couple hours at the Bayou Art Festival. Many exhibitors, with many nice art booths. The picture shows a booth in the middle of the pix, it had neat bold rich colors to the Italian type paintings. They had Bud available!


For Michelle












The rooster at the front of the restaurant we ate at. Pronto Cucinio Mandola's Casual Italian on 1401 Montrose Huston, Shirleen had a roasted chicken leg and thigh with garlic mashed potatoes and Italian green beans with tomatoes.


Abby, I had Fettuccine Alfredo, one of the best, accompanied with a grilled pork chop with caramelized onions, melted caprino cheese with sun-dried tomato. We ate outside.

Recommend this place!!!








Missed the shift again, that Maserati went on by.




We arrived at Beaumont late afternoon, only thing left to do is eat and write the blog.








We drove around and found an old part of town that had a neat street set-up. Country western music and small groups of people. Knew we had a place to stop and eat. We ate outside at Spindletop restaurant, Shirleen had a half ribs roasted over mystique, I two fillets of cat fish fried in a fine crunchy corn meal, heaven. jerr
