The Bunch Enjoy The Beautiful Weather And Have A Bar Recital


The insane cold snap is now just a distant memory. The weather has been absolutely perfect! We have been outside and getting some things done. Basically, we're just enjoying the great weather. We know before too long that summer will be here and we'll have to deal with all the crazy hot weather.

    We have not made it out to look at the house we're interested in seeing yet. D was super sick the week we were going to go see it and then the crazy cold snap came and we needed to stay close to the animals plus we didn't feel like getting out when it was that cold and windy. Now, training season has started for D and over the next couple of weeks, he will only have Sundays off. T and I will probably go drive by and look at the outside of the property to see if it's flat enough for what we want to do with it and if it is then D and I will make an appointment to go check it out. We're getting some projects done in the meantime that will help get the house ready to sell if we decide to go that route or if we decide to wait then we're getting projects done that we've needed to do. Either way it's a win!

T had his recital this week. Sanger maybe under an insane amount of construction and growth right now that is taking away our small town feel, but I never feel as backwoods country as I do than when the music school has its recital in a bar! All these little kids show up with their families to either play on the stage at the bar or watch their older siblings play. There were 37 kids that performed at this recital. It took almost 3 hours! The bar we played at last time had gone out of business (I can only imagine it was because of the lack of food. Noone wants a bag of chips and some candy on a night out!) and the new bar in town hosted us. This place was so great! The space was about 3x bigger plus they also had a pizzeria and ice cream parlor! They apparently didn't realize how many people this recital would bring and were VERY  overwhelmed! Our pizza took over an hour to be made, but since T is the most advanced student and was closing the show out, we had plenty of time to wait. We may even go out to this place when there's not a recital. I really want to try the ice cream! The bar brews most of their own beers, which if we liked beer would be super cool, but they also have Artisan root beer. We are huge root beer connoisseurs and LOVED the root beer! It was super yummy! T finally took the stage around 8:30 pm and did great! He played lead guitar while one of the instructors played drums and his other instructor played back up guitar and sang. The song he played was Bon Jovi's You Give Love A Bad Name. The whole song was around 4 minutes, but this site only lets me upload one minute videos so I shortened it to just include the main solo he played.

The bar was packed with families, but still roomy. It was nice.

Somehow we managed to find a couple of seats at the bar directly in front of the stage.

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'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 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...
