The Bunch Celebrate July 4th

There were a ton of people!

 A was really bummed that she got called in at the last minute to do a C section and missed our town's July 4th festival that she had been looking forward to. Our town does July 4th on the last Saturday in June. I am really not sure why they do that, but since Gainesville has their's on actual July 4th and A wasn't on call, we decided to go try that one out. Unfortunately, D had to work the next morning so he wasn't able to join us, but Axl needed a babysitter so it all worked out. A invited her new boyfriend to join us. It turned out to be a fun evening. The festival was at the municipal airport so it was a lot hotter there than the Sanger festival was because of all the buildings blocking the breeze and all of the concrete retaining heat. However, they were pros at getting everyone in and out. There was virtually no slow down when we left. The fireworks were great! Overall, it was a fun night. 

They had some fun toys that we could climb on and investigate.

The airport had all kinds of things.

Including lines everywhere! It took A and her boyfriend an hour and a half to ultimately end up with pudding!!!

Spectacular.


T is in the Hill country at camp this week. Last we heard he was having a blast being pulled by the boat on a banana and was crazy sore from basketball. The camp looks really fun and I am sure we will hear all about it when he gets back. This is the first year the church has gone to this camp so we look forward to hearing about what the differences are and what he thought. It was about 2  times more expensive and 160 miles farther so I hope it's worth it. This is the last year he is eligible to go to camp. I know he will miss going every summer. I am glad he has the great memories though.

C & H are doing well. C just had his  one year pacemaker review. One lead he has used 4% of the time, the second lead 1%, and the third lead she doesn't think has ever been used. He feels fantastic!

D flew solo for the first time in church this week. He was nervous, but there was no need. He did great!

After church we had our monthly potluck.

A loves her some potluck!

It was great!

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...
