The Bunch Celebrate C and Grandpa's B-days

My first baby turned 32 this weekend and to celebrate we all packed up and made the hour and a half trek to C and H's Bonham lake house. C had asked for me to make him a red velvet cake with cream cheese icing. I just vaguely remembered that when he was growing up we would periodically have a red velvet cake. It took me awhile to find the the recipe, but I finally did and it turned out FANTASTIC! A said it tasted like her childhood.🥰 We went out to eat at a burger place C recommended, but we arrived about an hour before they closed and the line was literally out the door. I have never seen a place so crazy busy! There was no room to sit at the restaurant so we took our burgers to go and ate C's house. The burgers were really good, but the fries were just ok. I would definitely eat a burger again , but probably wouldn't get any fries. We had a great time hanging out with C and H and celebrating C's birthday! This was A's first time seeing the new house. She thought it was really nice! Unfortunately, C and H just had to have a water leak fixed. I have never seen anyone be cursed with so many water leaks as they are! Their home in Carrollton had a leak in the slab that was a nightmare to fix. Fortunately, this leak was in the wall so they didn't have to dig into the slab. They just cut out pieces of their wall to fix it, which while easier to deal with was still a pain.

We enjoyed the Lakeview and nice afternoon by eating our burgers on the deck.

H has been enjoying her job at the elementary school.... mostly.😂

Happy Birthday to my first baby!

A couple of days after C's birthday is my dad's birthday. We celebrated with him by bringing him some Rosa's for lunch and making him a German chocolate cake. We had a nice visit. It's nice when we can all go together to visit everyone. As the kids get busier with their lives that becomes harder and harder to do so when we are able to do stuff together it makes it more special. I love my family, both immediate and extended. 🥰

We had a great afternoon celebrating Grandpa 😁

Age is just a number. I say go with what you feel like on the inside. 😜

We have spent a decade with just a hay field behind us. Three days ago the hay field got cows! They will not leave the horses alone, especially during feeding times!😂 I fully expect them to end up in our yard one 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...
