A Very Pleasant Day

It was so warm yesterday that I left my jacket in the car when we went down to Lambert's for brunch yesterday. The sky was perfectly blue and our future home loomed over the state garage and chilled water plant as we stepped out of the car on Guadalupe.

Lambert's has a Sunday brunch and it is a most unusual format and this was our first time to try it. (We've taken you there before but not for Sunday brunch.) If you are a big eater, it's a bargain. Even if you aren't, it's a great thing to have although a little expensive. For one price, they will bring you all the egg courses or French toast that you want. But it doesn't stop there. They bring out muffins and scones. But that isn't all. You can go to the buffet and order up bacon, cheese grits, sausage and hash browns to your heart's content. And, the best part, there is a serve yourself bar with fresh fruit, mac and cheese, potato salad, house-smoked salmon, ribs, brisket and prime rib. And desserts like pie and stuff. We tried not to overeat but FFP and our friend did cover a lot of ground tasting different things. We walked around in the sun (shirt sleeves remember) and looked in shops before going home to read and watch football and snooze. We will have another front tonight to turn the weather colder, but still we will be glad to be in Austin!

Tomorrow, the Daily City Photo family will (optionally) reprise a favorite picture from the year. Since we've only been involved for part of the year, we 'only' have 228 pictures to choose from (besides today's). FFP has voted for this montage (part of the Daily Photo typical breakfast theme day). Maybe that's what we'll do or maybe I'll decide something else is more representative of 2007! In any case, tomorrow's assortment of photos for all the sites ought to be a very nice one so be sure to visit tomorrow after your celebration. And Happy New Year!
