Joe's Party

This weekend, Mom and Dad got to see all their old friends from their previous time in Houston 10 years ago. The reason for the reunion was Joe's 40th birthday! The bash was held in his hometown of Moulton, TX. With a population under 500, the party goers practically brought the town out of recession by completely filling its one and only guest accommodation, a bed and breakfast! Mom and Dad has lots of fun at Moulton's American Legion Hall where everyone danced to the music of a great local band and dined on fajitas cooked out back by Joe's brothers. The whole gang was there, including Andy and his German girlfriend Simona who together had flown in from Europe for the big event. The next morning, Mom and Dad were able to visit more with their friends over a wonderful breakfast prepared by the charming B&B owners--the wife also doubles as the town's mayor! On their way home, Mom and Dad stopped to see a historical landmark of the area, one of the beautiful painted churches. They hope to be able to tour more of these amazing artworks when they're in the area again.
