Houston- We have GOLD!

One of the things we do for our sponsor, Celadrin, is go on TV Interviews and this last weekend, when we were in Houston, TX for the Texas State Senior Games was do a live appearance on the Weekend Morning Show  at KPRC-TV NBC CH 2.  This can be viewed by clicking here.


Here we are setting our sights for the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.  Who knows?  If you don't reach high you won't get the best at the top!

We left home on Thursday Oct. 21st and I had to travel 12 hours before meeting the team for an incredible meal at Del Frisco's  at the Galleria Mall.  We discovered great sales, primarily at Macy's and Chico's but I snagged some beautiful boots at Clark's.
On Friday we practiced for several hours and did a radio interview with Robyn Cuffee at KPFT-FM.  I don't know when it's airing after she edits a half hour down to 3 minutes.
The TV interview above was Saturday morning and we had a frustrating trip there due to a misleading address and new freeway construction.  Our GPS lead us in circles for about 45 minutes until we phoned the studio and had Amber Willis walk us through the route.  We got back to the Hyatt Summerfield Suites in time for complementary breakfast and more shopping.  We weren't impressed with Cheescake Factory where we had to wait nearly an hour to be seated that evening and it was so noisy and hectic that Mavis' granddaughter, Madelaine, was not the only one who wanted to leave.

After the tournament on Sunday, held at the Jewish Community Center, we had a swim and hot tub.  Madelaine enjoyed skating at the Gallaria while Loretta shopped.  Kitty and I lounged at Del Frisco's outdoor patio with some Calamari and drinks.  Quiet at last with the warm Texas breeze and great service gave us a special moment before the rest of the team joined us for dinner.  Thanks Celadrin.
Another 12 hours to get home, made shorter by my IPOD and books from Audible.com.  I've finished the Ender's Game series and am now listening to Treason, by Orson Scott Card.
Poul arrived home shortly before me.  He had a welcoming fire in the fireplace and lots of good stories to share.
