The Bunch in Quarantine Week #6..



Maisy's typical school day. It really messed her up when D was home last week....he takes her spot!
As with most of the country right now, we haven't been doing much of anything. D did have off this past week and we had wonderful family togetherness quarantining.  The baby chicks were finally moved outside. At least during the day they have outside time, we still bring them inside at night when it gets cool and during thunderstorms.
There is a HUGE size discrepancy. This baby barely comes up the the top of the legs of the full grown hens!

They aren't too sure of their new surroundings.

We also FINALLY got the travel trailer's warranty work finished from LAST MAY! It took them a year to not only order the right parts, but get ALL the parts, and install them. I see why so many rv-ers just do it themselves. It is the most frustrating experience. Unfortunately for the dealer, we can't go anywhere right now (or for the foreseeable future)so we have plenty of time to wait for them to fix the trailer. I was really disappointed that even with a new cabinet door they STILL couldn't line up the handles. It really bothers my OCD personality that they aren't even, especially since they are right next to each other. How hard could lining them up be?
I know it's close, but it would have been so easy to have just made them line up perfectly.

We have watched A LOT of movies lately. We generally watch a movie a day. We rented EMMA last night, which according to my husband is a remake of Clueless. I liked this version better than the one Gwyneth Paltrow did a few years ago, even my youngest son and husband found it entertaining, but overall we probably found the new Little Women movie the more entertaining of the two. We also watched the new Call of the Wild. It was really good. We all liked that one. The new Doolittle movie was way better than the one Eddie Murphy did a few years ago.  While we didn't think it was the best of the movies we have seen recently, they did do a great job with the special effects. We have also watched countless documentaries and older movies on Disney+. I have to say we bought Disney+ before all the stay at home orders and it has more than paid for itself. Disney+ is by far our favorite channel.

The kids are down to only 3-5 weeks of school, depending on their grade. Hopefully, once we finish school, life will re-open and we can go out and explore! We miss being able to have new adventures and experiences. The good news is A has almost completed all her driving practice and has really enjoyed having mostly empty streets and highways to practice on. Now, we need her to practice driving around other cars. She will probably have to miss her last year of eligibility for volleyball, but she understands it is out of her control. The kids have been so good during all this at home time. T is probably having the hardest time of everyone, but even he has handled it well. We are all ready to be able to see our friends again.
L has been memorized by the babies.

T hard at work

My Dad and D complained that they wanted more material for their face masks....hope this is enough!

Some of you have already brought it to my attention, but several of my posts have had the pictures taken down. I am not sure what has happened and have brought it to Googles attention and hopefully it will be resolved soon, but just know I am already aware of it. I have no idea why it has only affected some posts and not all of them. I may just take down the ones that have issues, but thank you for bringing it to my attention.

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...
