Texas - October 2019

Outstanding in the Field

Keith's brother was selected to host another Outstanding in the Field so of course we decided to make a weekend of it.  Keith was flying in from Chicago - he arrived the Thursday night late and stayed at the Hyatt Place in The Colony as he arrived late and was up early to tour properties in Dallas.  Shawna arrived at DFW airport just after 5pm on the Friday from San Francisco where she had a meeting and then spent a couple of days with Simran.  Keith Ubered to Colleyville after wrapping up the property tours so we both were at the house at about 6pm.  After a couple of glasses of wine we headed to Nanglo Indian with Keith's parents for dinner.

We both slept in Saturday morning.  After breakfast at the house and some clearing of work emails we went to see Jenn, Jordan, and Michael for an hour or so (Peter was not home).  It was a brief visit but good to see them.  We had to go back to the house as we needed to shower and head to the event at 1:30pm to be there by 3 as the event was north of McKinney at Pure Land Farm.  We picked up Margaret along the way.  There was a couple of hour reception followed by 220 people at a single table for dinner.  It was a fun night - lots of great food and wine.

Keith and Graham

On Sunday, we got up a bit earlier and had enough time to go for a walk.  Margaret dropped off her kids at the house so we got to see them for an hour or so - before we drove to Dallas to pick up Lily who was visiting for a couple of days.  We then went to the Arboretum, but traffic was so bad that as soon as we arrived Shawna jumped in an Uber to head back to Love Field for her flight.  Graham met us at the gardens so we were able to walk around for an hour to see the pumpkin festival.  On the way home we dropped Lily off at Margaret's so she could spend the night at their house.  Dinner was at Bonefish Grill, and then an early night for Keith so he could get up early to fly to Houston Monday morning.
