Another great day! Kevin and Maize, Dave and I walked through the neighborhood in the brilliant sunshine and enjoyed the day. When we arrived at the pond, Maize jumped in the water and showed us her skills as a duck-herder. Those ducks found out that she really means business!
Later in the day we visited a local micro brewery in Houston called St. Arnold's. They've been in business about 17 years and last year they sold about 31 million barrels of beer. Compare that to Anheuser-Busch who sells about 100 million barrels each year. The owner himself conducted the tour and explained that St. Arnold's only uses five ingredients in their beer; yeast, hops, wheat and water. The beer is not pasteurized and is only sold in Texas and parts of Louisiana. Best of all, the beer is delicious! Their most popular beer is the Lawnmower. It's a light refreshing beer that's' made to taste great when you are all hot and sweaty from mowing the lawn. They also make a wonderful root beer and a whole case of it found its way to our car trunk. Imagine that!
Last night we got together with five other couples at Saltgrass Steakhouse and had a wonderful time of laughter and fellowship. It was so good to see our friends and spend some time catching up again.
