The Bunch Have A Fantastic Week!

 

Pickleball is always fun!

Now that the weather has been nicer, albeit super windy, we have been trying to do our weekly pickleball match. Basically, this week whoever was playing with the wind won! We still have fun playing even when it is windy. In fact, playing in the wind probably makes us have more fun. The wind gusts sometimes pick the ball up and make it do some funny things, like getting the ball and pushing it back onto your side so you lose a point or blowing it three courts over! Luckily, we are usually the only ones there so it doesn't matter if we play across 4 courts. Afterwards, we usually go get some ice cream/ frozen yogurt and just enjoy our outing. 

T went camping this weekend with his troop. They worked on orienteering, which I was super happy about since T needs to work on that something fierce, but unfortunately the boys in troop aren't much better than him at orienteering and the first guy oriented them upside down on the first one so they basically wasted 50 minutes and ended up in 3rd place because of that. He had a fun weekend with friends and I am happy he found a hobby he enjoys so much!

This was a nice recovery week for D. The 43 hours of overtime was quite draining on everyone. He still has more training, but those are more spread out and a little easier to handle. Overall, he has been doing well.

A and I went to go see Les Miserables at Bass Hall this weekend. I had never seen it before so I was unsure of what to expect, but it was FANTASTIC! Bass Hall is, of course, absolutely gorgeous, but the set designs were amazing! You could easily tell that this production had a big budget! Afterwards, us and the rest of Bass Hall went directly across the street to eat the Cheesecake Factory. This was my first experience with the Cheesecake Factory, but it was really good, and really expensive. I think they could tone down the menu a bit. There was so many choices and as someone who doesn't do well with excessive choices, it was a bit overwhelming. There is enough variety that we could go after every show and always try something new. 

He doesn't understand he can't lie up there like Maisy does.😂

My parents treated A and I to lunch at Chili's. We had a great visit!


On our way to Bass Hall. The drive is much easier than navigating Dallas.

The garage we parked in was mostly empty. Side note: Ft Worth no longer has free garages on the weekends.

The downtown area is really nice. It has almost a residential feel to it.

Our, what is becoming customary, pre show selfie with the marque.

Bass Hall is so gorgeous! And A looked beautiful in her fancy outfit ❤️

I was trying to get a selfie of the buildings in the background.😂 I need longer arms.

The architecture of Bass Hall is so lovely!

We were center mezzanine. The show was WONDERFUL!

The main part was the only part that had an understudy perform and he blew it out of the water! I cannot imagine the principal actor could have been any better. He gave a Broadway worthy performance.

She was so excited! She was able to get every main cast members autograph, including the phenomenal understudy!!

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...
