The Bunch Get Into Spring

It has been a crazy six weeks.  We decided to make a huge Universal trip to Orlando and stop off in Pensacola. The planning for that length of a camping trip has been very involved. We are super excited though and cannot wait to visit Harry Potter World.

The cat lives on...21 in April!
We also visited my grandmother in law at the nursing facility that cares for her in order to celebrate her birthday. Thankfully, she was having a really good day and recognized her husband and one of her daughters. It is sad she doesn't remember her grand kids or great grand kids anymore, but it is heartbreaking when she forgets who her husband and kids are.  She was such a kind hearted woman, who always put others before herself, and learning to see her with severe dementia has been hard for everyone who loves her, but especially her husband. He has handled it with wonderful grace and love and I can only hope that if I am ever put in the position that he is in that I handle it as well as he has.

D's grandfather passed away last Weds. so we have been dealing with that also. His burial was at DFW National Cemetery. I had never been there before, but I think we might take a field trip there one day, not only to find his grandfather's marker, but also just to pay our respects to all the soldiers. The Patriot Guard was there when the Hearst drove by and all of them stopped and stood at attention while we passed. It was so heart warming to see and that small gesture meant the world to all of us who were grieving. If anyone associated with the Patriot Guard reads this,  Thank You, it means a lot for those grieving to see that.

Our time on earth is short, so let's make the very best of it, not only for us, but also everyone who knows us
Shhhhh.....you can't see him.

The Bunch Start Birthday Week

  Yes, my Mom had my name misspelled on the cake.😂 It was still yummy so it was all good. T, A, and I all have our birthdays within a week and a half. Which means there is a crazy amount of sugar within those 10 days. We always like to make whoever's birthday it is feel special for the day. We watch what they want,do activities they like, eat what they pick, do their chores for them, etc. It not usually too expensive, but just a fun day where it's focused on them. The kids use to use their days to rule like little kings and queens, but have become a lot calmer in their "old" age since they get to do whatever they want most of the time anyways. We are a pretty close family and do a lot of things together all the time anyways, but on birthdays we still make sure we defer to the birthday boy/girl. My birthday is first and the kids do so many nice things for me all the time, but they put forth an extra effort on my birthday. This year A even woke up early to turn the cof...

The Bunch Are Ready For Fall To Come Back

  A and I at our favorite venue. We LOVE Bass Hall. I must admit that we are pretty tired of the crazy hot weather. We are ready to go back to the temps we had at the beginning of September. We played pickleball again this week, but D had required overtime to work so just T, A, and I went. We played singles and winner played the next person or A and I played together against T.  We ended up in full sun and the humidity was a killer. We are happy that the cold front is coming through this week and the mornings should be in the 60s or low 70s with low humidity. It should be super nice to play in. T won every game we played, but A and I together definitely made him work harder! We still had a lot fun. We decided against our usual post game Braums. We all were hot and really just wanted to get home to the a/c.  A won the lottery for tickets at Bass Hall to see the Life of Pi. We were up in the upper gallery, but that might have been beneficial for this show. The animal puppet...

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...
