On Thursday, October 10th we were invited to Theresa Martin Kitowski and hubby Chuck's 3-story lake house on Lake Travis at Marble Falls, Texas. We struck out around 8:30 and got there before dark. Here are some pictures I took of our visit. Our classmate Myrtle Loviza Alvarado driving her new Toyota Highlander and Sue McNamara Fowler in the front seat. Ina Lott Whittington and I in the back seat.
Two years ago Sue, Ina and I made the trip in June and had a wonderful time and rode in their boat and went swimming in the infinity pool.
It was fortunate that Kay Hess Simms (classmate) with hubby, Jim flew in from California the day before and Theresa's sister, Rita Martin Holland flew in from North Carolina a week ahead of us arriving and stayed a week after we left the help her sister. We left on Monday, October 15th. We have been invited to return next Spring of 2020. Hopefully, we will get to ride in their boat and also swim in the infinity pool next door.
Our first sunset with a lit Century plant bloom next door.
Enjoying a late meal Thursday night with pretty lit bottles on the table to enjoy..
Ina, Sue, Rita and I stayed next door at Chuck brother's two-story lake house. Kay, Jim and Myrtle stayed in Theresa and Chuck's lake house.
Theresa called and told us to look outside to see the steam coming up off the lake. A lady commented on my Facebook post that from the mid-west it is called white stallions. From now on it will be called the white stallions.
Theresa and Chuck's home. Top floor, steps going up to the main floor and entering the bottom floor by way of garage. It has three decks that you can sit on and enjoy the fantastic view of Lake Travis.

Another little old lady all dressed up in her finery.
They are both in the pool room. Notice pictures on the wall of family members. A great way to preserve memories.
I took this picture off the 2nd floor deck of Chuck's brothers home where Sue, Ina, Rita and I were staying on a pretty Saturday morning.
Looking beyond the peninsular.
The master bedroom where Rita was staying on second floor. The bed was not made up with all the pillows. They were thrown in a beautiful wooden crib to the left.
Looking down at the infinity pool. We did not get to go into it because the weather had turned cool.

How lucky they are! What fun!

Leaving a wonderful four days at Theresa and Chuck's lovely lake house with Kay taking one last picture of us with her phone as Ina looked on. We have been invited to come back in the Spring so we can swim and take a ride in the boat. We are all looking forward to returning.
