Kemah Trip

My brother, Ryan, came in from the big metropolis of New York City. The family decided to go down to Kemah for the evening. We ate at a restaurant called Joe Lee's. It was a cheap little seafood restaurant that was very good. Ryan rode with us, so Olen and I got to visit with him. After dinner, we headed down to the boardwalk. Hmm, made me want to sing for a minute there...under the boardwalk.....o.k. back to the story...It was fun. We spent the evening walking along the boardwalk watching the people and the boats. They have a band on Thursday nights, so we got to hear live music. They were pretty good. Olen was having fun taking lots of pictures. I experimented with nighttime photography on my camera. Olen was more successful than I was. I did end up with a shot that looked like a ghost ship.
It was so relaxing to all hang out together. We decided to end the evening with some Dairy Queen ice cream which, of course, makes any evening perfect. However, one thing made me inform everyone around that God loved me. Craig Biggio, of the Houston Astros, http://astros.mlb.com/index.jsp?c_id=hou was close to setting a record going into the baseball game that night. I had wanted to watch the game just in case he got his 3000th career hit, but wanted to spend the time with the family more. He needed three hits to reach the mark. I turned on the radio as we left the boardwalk. Lo and behold, (why doesn't anyone say that anymore? It's kinda cool...Lo and behold...hmmm, maybe I can start a trend. Ok, what was I saying, oh, yeah) Biggio was up to bat. I listened carefully to Milo Hamilton (the best baseball announcer in the world, at least he is for an Astro fan) say that this hit could be the one. He (Craig, that is) had gotten two hits already in the game. So, I listened...and as we slowed to pull into the Dairy Queen parking lot...he got his hit!!!! And the car goes wild......well, I did anyway!! How cute of God to have us leave at just the right moment to catch a piece of history that I dearly wanted to hear...Isn't that just like God! He even cares about the silly desires of our hearts.
