The Bunch Enjoy the Nice Weather

Enjoying a beautiful evening

Ok. Today is like 26 mph winds so the weather isn't as nice as it has been, but overall we have spent a lot of time outside lately enjoying the cooler weather. Yes, low eighties is cooler for Texas. What has really helped is the drier air.

Lovely Sunset.

Our original plans to head to Copper Breaks State Park to star watch had to be changed. Because of the pandemic, there are so many more rv'ers that even on a weekday at a fairly unknown park you need a reservation at least a month in advance. Basically, my wait to check the weather and then reserve doesn't work now. We are instead heading back to Eisenhower State Park in Lake Texoma again. We had such a wonderful time last time that we hope to repeat the pleasant experience sans car sickness. We did book the Copper Breaks Park for another time and it will be a new moon then so star viewing should be even better, except now I can guarantee there will probably be a storm or a lot of clouds. Kind of our luck so I am going with the odds.

The kids have been busy with school and A is getting ready to take her driving test. She is NOT at all excited about it. I will probably have to contend with mood swings and crying, but she needs to get it done before she turns 17 years and 10 months. Yes, the state specifically says 17 years and 10 months. If she doesn't take the test before then she will have to redo all the classes. Also, the mommy van doesn't have a college stop.

We are all finally getting use to the limited lifestyle we have been gifted with for the next year. School helps the time pass quickly. We are also looking forward to the holidays. Even if we can't see everyone like normal, it is nice to having something special to look forward to.

They found a Holiday Barbie among the stuff my Aunt was getting rid of.

Apparently, they have always really wanted one,but never asked because they thought it was too expensive. They were through the moon to find it.

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...
