Will be a little earlier than Thanksgiving but not until soccer season is done. IF...which is a HUG "if" they'd make the playoffs the first chance to get home would be Veteran's Day weekend. More realistically she'll be back for the football game November 5th; their last game is October 29th. She had to stop by the dance studio to tell Katie goodbye and she bawled her eyes out ; she said it didn't "hit her" until Allie walked through the door! Even had CICI "crying"! When she walked out the back door Sara said Cici had these huge tears welling up in her eyes! Her cat was just mad at her ...he'd crawled in her suitcase yesterday. Allie had to pick him up and put her him in the hallway so she could finish packing!

MEANWHILE...Katie had a HUGE day! She made BOTH Elite Teams she tried out for during tryouts today plus all the "regular classes"....TAP (SO glad she's taking tap again!), contemporary, modern, hip hop and musical theater. She was really worried about the Elite Teams; they had about 6 "new girls" try out from the Brenham and Waller dance teams....one is a Captain of the team! They only take 6 girls for each group and she was so afraid she'd score "#7"! Huge relief for her...but now she has 8 HOURS of choreography classes tomorrow ; 4 hours for each group! THEN it was on to the Cap Ceremony for the Brahmadora's. Really pretty evening at a beautiful farm in the country...everyone looked so pretty! They received their hats and took the Brahmadora Oath before snacks and swimming. Needless to say...Katie opted to SKIP the swimming and go home...bless her heart, she's exhausted!

FW? Inside?

The Little League team from NH won regionals and are heading to the Little League World Series. Most of the team go to the middle school I worked at. Their games this weekend were televised and it was cool to watch the kids I saw everyday.

Awesome! There was a team a few years ago from Washington County that played in the Little League World Series. It is fun to watch people you know in those games! My Godson played in the College World Series for Rice a couple years; THAT was super awesome. A "not so happy" story about the Little League though; a team to our south, Needville, played at the South Regional Tournament. The won their first game like 13-0 but the next day an assistant coach (who wasn't even AT the game the day before) tested positive for Covid. The officials then declared the entire team ineligible to compete even though the boys on the team and the Head Coach were all negative. They protested but to no avail, they were sent home. As I understand the parents are suing the Little League!

Yes this attraction is inside in FW.

Wow that stinks for the team. They must have been heartbroken to make it all that way and have that happen. I hope the parents win the lawsuit.

It's getting worse than it was last year ; Delta Variant plus 200,000+ immigrants a MONTH, with anywhere from 35-45% testing positive, crossing our border and coming through and TO our communities. No mandates in place but doesn't seem like they do a lot of good to be honest. People we know are vaccinated and many ARE still wearing the mask and they're still coming up positive. Very frustrating.... Especially when it took some friends of ours an entire WEEK to get across the US/Canada border to continue their motorcycle trip! By the time they got their negative test results the "test within 72 hours rule" had expired so they had to drive back to Spokane and get a rapid result test (and pay for that) and then wait in line at the crossing only to be told some office that needed to okay their entrance was closed for the day....and so on and so on! They said it was a REAL challenge to get that crossing accomplished!

They were heartbroken and don't blame them. As I understand none of the team members or their parents ever have tested positive. Think they went totally overboard with that decision and I hope they win the lawsuit too. Expenses for that kind of season are over the top...we personally know how high expenses are for Dance Nationals! Totally uncalled for. Understand if it were a team member but it was someone just "listed" on the program; he hadn't even attended the first game....arrived late to the tournament!

My dishwasher died a slow death over the weekend ; Lowe's and Home Depot had almost NOTHING in stock since I refused to pay $1,000 for a dishwasher! David found one at a reasonable price at a small furniture store in Hempstead so I went over this morning to look at it. Ended up with an upgrade but I really liked the "3 drawer" one AND decided to purchase a new kitchen stove too since my oven is not cooperating with me since it sat in the garage this summer. But....added nice surprise that reminded me of "Disney". The Union Pacific's actual steam engine is on tour this summer and it had a scheduled stop in Hempstead just 15 minutes after I finished paying for the new appliances! Since we haven't heard the steam engine in DW for 3 YEARS I decided to hang around. SO cool! I'm going to post a short video from my phone so it will PROBABLY BE SIDEWAYS but sure sounds like we're standing on Main Street!

It really is; been in business forever. We used to do construction work for them years ago and bought a lot of appliances from them for other construction jobs. Gotta love "small town businesses".

Oh good grief. I'll probably get it faster if I drove to Texas.
They had one recliner in the store of the one I wanted but it was a gross shade of brown and I did not want that. The sofa I wanted had the floor model in the color I wanted but they don't sell the floor models. We bought a Lazy Boy not sure if that's why it's so long.

Devastating news this afternoon for our community. 34 year old former football "star" (knew his family through band; his older brother was a member and his Mom and Dad helped me A LOT when I was Booster President) passed away IN HIS SLEEP last night! He was currently coaching Jr. High football and the father of an adorable 6 year old little girl. I can't imagine.....
