The Bunch Take T To Camp

This is actually typical. They always kid I'm Snow White. MiMi is at my head.

I am really struggling to remember what all went on this week because I didn't take any pictures! I know we went to have dinner with T's girlfriend's parents. It was very nice of them to invite us over to meet them and have dinner. This is his first real girlfriend that has lasted more than 2 weeks and so far she is a way better fit for him than the last girl he dated a couple of times that hated the outdoors. T is a very active person who loves going to do things outside and I really couldn't see the last one working out because there's only so many movies and so many times he can repeatedly sit still. This new girl is really nice and plays club softball. She is crazy busy with that like he was with basketball. He met her at church when she started coming. She decided she wanted to go to church even though her family doesn't. She is a very thoughtful and nice person. Apparently, T is the first boy she has ever dated and they were quite shocked! She is a junior and one year younger than T almost to the day. Her birthday is two days before his.

We also installed my new dishwasher! Poor D hit a little snag with it. However, he managed to get it figured out and I love it! It is so nice not to have things fall through the silverware holder and all the wheels stay on. It is crazy quiet too! The only thing that is kinda driving me crazy is trying to keep my glass top range clean, which so far I am failing at.

I also had to drive T to his campout. He wasn't feeling great the night his troop was leaving so I took him up early the next morning to meet them. We left at 5:45 am, drove an hour, and had 10 miles of unmaintained dirt roads, but he got there. He was able to spend the rest of the week with them learning how to shoot a 22. He was crazy tired when he came back and to be honest hasn't really recovered yet.

This week A is going to go with us on a camping trip. I am so excited! She hasn't been with us in years.

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...
