For the past few weeks, Mike and sometimes me, have played pickle ball on Thursdays for about 3 hours. We are playing with 5 to 8 other people. Pickle ball is a cross between table tennis and tennis played on a court much the size of badminton. Here is a picture of paddles…
The balls are yellow whiffle balls( I didn’t take a picture). The net is about 3 feet. We tape the court off with blue painter’s tape and then we are ready to play!
We had a great week end in Texas and ate some wonderful food. As soon as we got off of the plane in Houston, we headed to Moe’s for delicious bar-b-que. We each had a loaded baked potato and we shared brisket and sausage.
We went To Lufkin on Friday and got to eat Mexican for lunch…
After running errands, we went to the LHS football game, but forgot the camera!
Saturday morning we ate breakfast with D and S…
then we headed to CS for the A&M football game. We had hamburgers and cheese fries at Chicken Oil but again forgot to take the camera.
We watched the team walk to the stadium…
The boys each brought a friend with them to the game.
A&M played SC State and won 70-14.
As we were leaving we passed the President of A&M, so he graciously had his picture made with P and J.
The last picture should be of the McDonald’s ice cream cone that we ate on the way back to Houston!
It really was a wonderful week end of food and football!
It’s a new era of soccer around here…
R is now referring…
and T’s team is now playing with a goalie. Everyone got a turn and T loved it…
Mike, and Aggies in general, are glad and excited for A&M to be in the SEC.
Having ESPN Game Day on campus was an added bit of excitement for the A&M vs. Florida football game.
The crowds were energized as they awaited the A&M band and corps to march down the street.
It took longer than usual to get into the stadium.
The fly-over at the end of the National Anthem…
The new coach made some changes in the way that the team enters the stadium.
Ready for the kick-off…
The band acknowledged the SEC at the end of their performance.
Wow! I am really out of the habit of posting on the blog! Since I last posted P and J came for a visit.
School has started for everyone…10th grade, 2 7th graders and 1st grade.
Fall sports have begun with P and J playing football…
and R and T playing soccer.
That’s a pretty good start…I’ll do A&M football soon.
