Cece’s Part II

 

There is a great place to take the ones you love out for a fantastic meal at an inexpensive price in Port Isabel, TX. It is called Cece’s and is a wonderful Mexican cafe that has more to offer than any other place around.

The servings are hearty, the waitstaff attentive and the food is delicious.

Doesn’t this plate look delicious?

The cheese enchiladas are soft, flavorful and the rice and beans perfect for the palate!

There are healthier alternatives too.

There is a salad bar with wonderful choices at Cece’s.

This is smooth, creamy and delicious!

This is also smooth and creamy and a delight to the senses.

Cece’s in Port Isabel

There is a place in Port Isabel that is booming right now and I am so glad it is packed every time I go over because the staff works so hard to put great food on the tables. I love it when businesses are a success. This new favorite restaurant of mine is called Cece’s and is in the shopping center behind Churches Chicken by the intersection of Hwy 100 and Hwy 48. I am glad that the Winter Texans discovered this place and are keeping it full. These Winter Texans, below, chatted up a storm in the dining area at Ceces.

I love the art there. I love powerful, vibrant colors and the paintings on the wall are simply beautiful.

Every time I go, every single table has been taken. I love it!

I love to start out a Mexican food meal with chips and salsa. I like the chips to be light and crispy and not hard and inedible. Cece’s are nice and crispy and the salsa is not so hot it ruins the meal like at other restaurants. The salsa here has a great flavor and a mild heat.

The fish special is a buck or two more than the cheapest all-U-can-eat special BUT it is so worth it. The fish is not all breading and it is the first all-U-can-eat-special where I have not asked for extra pieces of fish. I believe this was the first time ever I did not ask for extra fish. The food was that good and filling.

 

Our waitress was nice, friendly and had a beautiful smile.  This very handsome man was having the Mexican plate.

Tomorrow we will explore Cece’s awesome breakfast specials.

What is Important?

 

I just had a dream where I was on a plane looking down at the clouds hovering over a city. The clouds looked like toasted, browned popcorn and I figured EVERY city puts out its fair share of pollution. Then the plane started dropping altitude. I looked down to the scenery and figured out that there was no way the majority of us, if anyone, were going to survive that crash. I thought immediately of my family; I was with my spouse and thought of my daughter on land. It would have to be acceptable to her. It would have to be – there was no way out of this. It was just something she was going to have to deal with for the rest of her life. Then the plane bottomed-out and leveled and headed for water. I was so relieved and thought, “Cool, we are going to make it!” Then the pilot said, “We have to ascend,” and we tried but the plane could not gain altitude but at least we were landing on water and had a CHANCE of survival instead of crashing into solid ground.

The next scene was a scene where survivors were being comforted. I had a mental connection with others since I had been in the crash but lived. I also had a connection with my mom, who had passed away. I was crying and a Mexican lady told me, “Why are you crying? What are you crying for?” (and she was right for I had been given a second chance at life and should be rejoicing.)

I woke up with a sense of unloading. I have to unload all the crap that is weighing me down and inhibiting my enjoyment of a full life. I feel bogged down at the moment by all my crap, all my possessions. They really serve no purpose in life. All you need is what you need and the rest is just baggage weighing you down. I am resolved now to get rid off all that is weighing me down.

I am going to have a garage sale and aim for getting some money for my stuff then donating it all to charity. This reminds me of George Carlin’s bit about “stuff” – how we all need more stuff then we need a bigger place to keep all of our stuff. Stuff that is just weighing us down has no place in our lives. The hard part is letting go. Wish me luck on letting it go.
