Happy Mothers Day! — Mother and Daughter Reunion — Ruby (Red) Tuesday

(Written late Sunday evening, postdated to Tuesday)It was nice this week to be able to see almost all of my Houston family.
We also got the Jim Bunch together again for eating!

My apologies are offered to the purest, not all of these picture have a lot of red. But red is scattered around pretty good.

Karen, Mrs. Jim and KP 2010
Three generations here

Each lady was given a red rose
KP got one also, shown here two


Mrs. Jim, BP, Billy, KP, Karen
On the right KP enjoyed kicking those bare feet into the water.

The picture on the left was taken at our table today.
We had a three generation mother and daughter reunion.*
All the other pictures above were taken outside after we ate.

On the left is Karen and KP at the 'going away party for Karen.'
Karen's brothers and sisters (four) and their families were there.
Also her cousin, Barb, and her family were able to come. We all
met for a meal of our choice at the UpTown Cafe Express in Houston.



After lunch several got cold inside the cafe and had to go outside
to get warmed up. There were table outside as well as in. A few
went around the corner to the (Wine) Tasting Room (link) to warm up.

This was both a reunion party and a goodbye party for Karen. She and
Billy had just returned from a 'house hunting' trip to London.

There will be several more parties and dinners around town because Karen
is leaving the country to work in London for at least two years and very
likely four. The rest of her family plan to join her soon, as soon as
the house is on the market and other final arrangements can be made.
Paul Simon : Mother And Child Reunion Lyrics
from MetroLyrics (link)

No I would not give you false hope
on this strange and mournful day
but the mother and child reunion
is only a motion away,

oh,little darling of mine.
I can't for the life of me
remember a sadder day
I know they say let it be
but it just don't work out that way
and the course of the lifetime runs
over and over again.
