September 2015

This month was busy with mainly golf and football!!

R played several times at Bear Trace.  The course lives up to its name with the many deer that roam the course.

This was an all day tournament…team members waiting on others to finish.IMG_0020

It’s also time for high school football…IMG_0850with a great side line reporter checking her phone for weather updates!  She also interviews people on the side line, gets injury updates and talks to the head coach at half time and after the game.

The first Texas A&M football games was played in Reliant Stadium in Houston. We met P, the Aggie freshman, in Houston and we ate supper with the Terrys.  E had come in from DBU to join us!!  So good to be with these college kids!

Sunday morning before we all went our separate ways, P had to sport his Astros gear…even if it was orange!  It was their last home game and a clinch for the playoffs.

On Sat. morning, we got to visit with 35 kinfolk at the Seago reunion in Nacogdoches.  We were sorry that we had to leave before group pictures were made…but Aggie football called!IMG_0937

The new, rebuilt Kyle Field was impressive! This is a look at the student side which was updated for last year’s season.  But “our” side was new this year.  Escalators, more elevators, larger and more restrooms, better concession, etc.FullSizeRenderJ was not able to come to this game, so we were just a party of 4.
