The Bunch Go to the Homeschool Fair

T just wanted to eat the treats!
L was So happy her brownies placed 1st.
 

A's Italy Display.

L's is the one on the top left.
Irving holds a wonderful home school fair that we like to attend. It is always a lot of fun and we meet  home school friendly vendors, which basically means we get a ton of coupons to go and visit places during the slow period of businesses. I love it. This year A entered the cultural display, baking, art, and photography divisions. L entered the baking, photography, and art division. A studied Italy for her display. We spent a couple of weeks studying the culture and history of Italy. We read about 10 books on Italy and I know more about Italy than I ever thought I would! A decided to make peanut butter cookies with a Hershey's kiss for her baking entry and draw a "fashion design" for her art entry. Of all the great photos that she took, the one she decided to enter was of our dirty dog sitting in her pen. I couldn't change her mind on that one. L was going to make turtle brownies for her baking entry, but they turned into brownies with fudge icing because the carmamel we bought was rancid and she didn't want nuts in them.  Her art entry was a really cute flag she used water colors for and her photo she picked to enter was of a waterfall at the Dallas zoo. It looked pretty cool, she may be a future photographer. A received first place for her cookies and display. She received 2nd place for her photo and drawing. L placed 1st in everything for her division. She was beyond excited. We had a great time and I was very proud of them.

The Bunch's Streak Of Bad Luck Continues

We made great time on the way there! It's amazing how leaving only 30 minutes later can help immensely with traffic. I wish all the shows started at 8 instead of 7:30.  What a week this was! We went to Bass Hall to see Back to the Future. It was ok. Definitely not the best play we have seen. The boys went with us and since the last two shows they joined us for were The Outsiders, which is one of, if not our most, favorite show ever, and A Christmas Story, which is in probably in the top 6, they were really not impressed. However, we still had a nice time doing something different together.  We love Bass Hall❤️ We had opening night tickets and got a GREAT deal! I went in this week and had my polyps removed plus they did a biopsy. I was more sore and for longer than I anticipated. Yes, the doctor said recovery was about 10 days, but I really only anticipated maybe 3-4. Boy, was I wrong! It's been 7 days now and by 10 I think I will be completely back to normal. Unfortunately, sh...

The Bunch Have A Fun Week!

D had his awards banquet at a BBQ place we had been wanting to try for awhile. The food was really delicious and not greasy at all.  We have had a lot of expenses thrown at us lately. We bought our new appliances , which were well planned for. However, after that we had 2 cars to get repaired, one of which   was decided that it was too expensive and would make more sense to get a newer, stronger, younger one, I have to get some polyps removed, we owe uncle Sam money for the first time ever (thanks to the rule about the year a child turns 17 you lose the child tax credit even if the majority of the year they are 16), and lots of other little things. You know how it goes...when it rains it pours. Since we were unable to take the rv out because of the tow vehicle being unable to tow with a heavy load, more like us not wanting to risk trying, and since A had a day off work, we decided to go on an adventure to do something that none of us ever had done before. We started with...

The Bunch Say Goodbye

  Aunt P picked a lovely cemetery. It was so beautiful and peaceful. For the past 8 years or so we have helped our Aunt P.  We have had numerous visits and conversations over the years, not to mention dinners and root beer floats. We have watched her physical health decline while her mental health was still sharp as tack. Sadly, the last month of her life she had started to have several moments where she didn't know what was going on. We had numerous conversations about her death with her and we are very happy in knowing that she finally has the relief she wanted. The past year in particular was VERY hard on her and she needed help more. D and I would visit almost every Wednesday and Saturday, plus whenever she called for help. It was nice to talk to her. She was witty, smart, knew the answer to just about anything, and did a wonderful job of making you feel special and loved. I once told her that I would really miss our chats when she was gone...I will. I really enjoyed getti...
