The Bunch Start Birthday Week

We had a great lunch.

My Birthday kicks off birthday week. It was a little strange this year since T started college and noone is being homeschooled. He was technically at home, but he is so busy studying that we rarely see him when he is here. He was able to finagle it so that he could go with me to meet A for her lunch break. We ended up going to Cracker Barrel and it was delicious! It ended up being a good birthday. We don't see A very much. She is either at work, her boyfriend's, or sleeping. D and I are learning how to do things by ourselves. It's different, but we're learning. I do need to work harder on learning to cook for fewer people. I am still in the mindset of having a large family so we generally have loads of leftovers, which isn't too bad since both A and D take them for lunch. T still usually eats most of his meals here. He just heats them up when he is ready to eat. D and I have become hooked on our Brit Box subscription. We enjoy our British crime shows. Lol.

Axl has to be a part of everything.

He has to inspect everything!

I got a new book I wanted, a new skillet, and a new decorative pillow case.

T had to go to school on his birthday for the first time. He did work hard the day before though so he could take most of the day off and enjoy his day. He really loves his school and is enjoying what he is learning. He will be a nationally certified EMT in Nov. and then starts his internship for a month before Fire Academy. Unfortunately, Fire Academy will have a bit of a commute next semster during traffic, but at least it's just for a semester.

He had a great day and his girlfriend came over to surprise him when he got home from school.

🤷 Axl is always in the way. He has no idea how big he is.

Happy Birthday to my baby! We love you!❤️

And, of course, Axl was right there!😂

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...
