The Bunch Have A Good But Busy Week

T's last honor guard event. He can't participate after he turns 18.

First, and most importantly, both my dad and D's mom are home from the hospital and both are recovering nicely. My Dad's platelets are at 384,000 after being at 2000 when he checked in to the hospital! He is responding very well to his treatment. He has 4 more weekly doses and then they will switch him to a maintenance plan. He will always have to get treatments for his cancer since it's not curable, but he should be able to maintain a fairly normal life by getting the treatments.

C and H had their first official obstetrician appointment this week. The new due date is December 5 and yes, they found out what the gender is and no they aren't telling us until June 14 at the gender reveal. I personally think it will be a girl. I know H's family is really hoping for a boy since they have no boys on that side. I don't really care what it is. I am just super excited about having a grandbaby to take on fun outings and spend time with!

T and I have been crazy busy getting everything together for him to start school in the fall. There is all kinds of meetings, testings, paperwork, and shots we have to get done so he can register for his classes. So far he still plans on being a paramedic. We will see if he adds firefighter to that degree too.

A has been doing pretty good. She and her boyfriend broke up this past week. I didn't ask why. I figured she would volunteer that if she wanted. She seems maybe a little sad, but overall she is pretty good. We are going to see Wicked again next week so she's looking forward to that. We are also going to go get our facials together next week which she is super excited about.

In a crazy turn of events, D and I might fix the SUV after all. I am not really sold on this idea, but we do need something to tow the trailer to be able to get hay and take stuff to the recycling place, plus with T starting school we just need another car. I thought getting a little commuter car like D has would work well, but that still wouldn't solve the towing issue and we don't want to buy a new truck while still paying off somethings. I just don't like that if something were to happen that the car being totaled out would be like $3000 less than what we paid to get everything fixed. We'll see. I will let you know if he talks me into it.

He will miss the friends he made.

He really liked being in scouts again.

C took us to the horse races at Lone Star. He got us a table at the restaurant upstairs that not only included a/c but also an entire buffet for the whole day!

We had excellent seats right on the glass directly above the finish line. We had a lot of fun!

We celebrated H's birthday. She hasn't had too many issues with morning sickness.

T brought his girlfriend with us. We had an extra ticket since A was on call that weekend and couldn't come.

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 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...

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...
