The Bunch Play Pickleball Again

 

I had to get A a wig since I got T a wig.....she looks good!

We have been just enjoying life the past couple of weeks. I honestly just forgot about updating the blog last week. We made it to our weekly pickleball game after missing the past two weeks. This time according to the kids " the world is as it should be". Yep, they won this time. They can't go next week though because T got them tickets to a show so D and I will get our practice time in. We'll see how the match the following week goes! 

Sam's club has a year membership for $15 right now so we bought a membership to check it out. I haven't been to a Sam's since I had to buy diapers for the kids. The kids went with me to check it out and while we loved it, it was a bit overwhelming. I have been told the one by us is one of the biggest/busiest. I believe it! We went at 10:30am on a Thursday and it was crazy! The checkout was 30 people deep! There was so much to see. We just stuck to food and groceries this time. It took us about an hour to look at all that and then we were all ready to leave the mad house. We are going back this week to look at some of the other things. They sell appliances, clothes, decor, and pretty much everything else including the kitchen sink! I think we will like it, but I will see how much we drive all the way down there after the Tom Thumb in town opens up in December. We are so excited about having a real grocery store only 12 miles from us! The DG market opened up about 4 miles from us about 6 months ago, but they have a very small selection and are frequently out of items. It is way better than not having anything though. We are also excited about the new restaurants coming in the Tom Thumb shopping plaza. What we are NOT excited about is the 5000 apartments, townhomes, and houses going in. Our small town is rapidly becoming a suburb. We have been talking about moving farther out, even T has asked about it. We'll see. I plan to stay put until D retires from the force in 2.5 years, but I have learned that life doesn't ever follow my plans we will see what happens. Hopefully when all the annoying construction is done it won't bother us as much. After almost 2 years in a construction zone we are ready for them to be done!

For the first time in several years, A is going to go on some camping trips with us. She said she misses going. I am so excited! I love going on camping trips and having adventures with my family! She even seems willing for hiking, which she hates.

A had a wedding to go to. She goes to more weddings than I ever did!

T has been training her. She says she is in the best shape of her life....but she also says she can't fully extend her legs because her calves hurt too bad.😂

After their whooping last time we played, the kids took the title back from the "oldies".

The horse that didn't die....yet.

T is my helper when the farrier comes. I have no idea how I will do it alone next year when he's at College during the day.

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...
