Texas Trip

Over the river...

and through the woods...

from Grandmother's house we go...

the car knows the way...

I can't make the rest of the poem by Lydia Marie Child work!

We're now in Texas for a couple of football games and for lunch, we stopped at a Texas icon...second only to Whataburger.

We had supper with Sid and Deb at the Lufkin Bar B Q Bar before drving to Lake Conroe where we'll be spending the week at a condo. Jim came with us so we can all go to the Baylor-A&M game tomorrow in College Station.

Another Season Has Begun

Basketball season officially began this week.

Rheagan's 4 & 5 grade elementary team played in a pre-season tournament and won their first game and will continue the tournament this week end.

The CHS Lady Raiders played in a Hall of Fame game against the Baylor School in Chattanooga and both the JV and varsity girls won their games.

The Lady Flames of Lee University played this week, also, and beat Truett-McConnell.

Good luck to these teams as they continue their seasons.

Veteran's Day

In honor of those who have served our country in the military.

Here are some pictures of my Dad who was in the Army Air Corps in WWII.

I couldn't find any pictures of my father-in-law who served in the Navy during WWII.

Most of our pictures of Mike, when we were in Japan, are on slides and not easily accessible. He was in the Army during the Vietnam War. Here are a couple that I could find. The baby is Kelly and don't you just love the wig with the maternity dress!

Recent Activities

Here are some shots of Fall and related activities.

Note...no training wheels!

All of these beautiful leaves are mostly gone due to the day-long heavy rains we have had today. The ground looks colorful, but most of the trees are nearly bear.

The season's last soccer game.

More Football

On Friday night we enjoyed a Carne Guisada dinner, sponsored by the 4H, before we went to the Odem-Taft football game. The game was a hard hitting well fought game. I found the bands performances to be a little different than we are used to in that there were cheerleaders and football players participating the bands activities.



On Saturday, we drove to College Station to watch A&M beat Iowa State. the band did an exceptional job, the fly over was by F16s out of Birmingham and flown by former students of A&M, and the weather was great.
