The Bunch Say Goodbye To T

 

He is ready for the weekend!

This past weekend was T's first camping trip of many this season with his scout group. He left on Friday afternoon and came back Sunday afternoon. They actually only went about 20 minutes away, but he had a great time. They are working on an aquatic badge so not only did they swim and learn life saving water techniques, but they also rented a boat and worked on boat safety while having a healthy dose of fun being pulled behind it! He was super tired when he came home and had a few blisters from holding on to the rope while being pulled by the boat, but he still summoned up the energy to go play at the local bar for his music recital. He is so incredibly busy that we are taking a hiatus from his guitar lessons to create more down time. We kept scheduling things and forgetting he had a class so instead of paying for each session we missed we decided to take a break for the rest of the semester until things calm down a little. He has been complaining about being tired lately also so we might cut back on some of his extracurricular activities too. Though I have noticed the tiredness corresponds more to school and chores than extracurricular activities.🤔

Much to the kids protesting, we did not Play pickleball this week. The weather was great. We just had a dentist appointment. Yes, we all go as a family to the dentist and the eye doctor. It's just easier if I block a time out for everyone so they can go than to try to schedule everyone separately. The dentist took forever this time, about 2 hours. Normally, we are all in and out in about an hour. I always plan errands whenever we are in town so basically our dentist appointment had us gone from the house for about 5 hours and regardless of what the kids think we don't "always go to the dentist and eye doctor". It's literally once a year for the eye doctor and twice a year for the dentist. They can be so dramatic!

T and A informed me this week that when T turns 18 they are getting matching brother and sister tattoos. I think it's sweet they want to solidify their close bond. They have been through a lot together and it has made their bond closer than ever. I laughed when they told me because my mind went to a black cursive writing of "brother" on one and "sister" on the other one, but apparently it's going to be an actual design "that's not girly".😂 I have a feeling T will have more authority over this endeavor. 

T plays guitar phenomenally well though his instructor messed up the lyrics in a few spots. T actually gave him the look D gets when T thinks he messed up!😂

The dentist got new furniture. This chair was super comfortable.

All done. No cavities. Just waiting on D.

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...
