Its hard to believe September is half gone, I just hope the next 6 weeks goes as fast. Its one of my favorite times of the year with weather getting cooler and football season. We have had lots of ran here over the last 2 weeks with all the hurricanes. We have maintained safe and even kept power, cable and phone. We have had tornado warnings and drills at school and work. Brooke and Tanner almost got to come home one day when they lost power at the school, but the power came back on after many kids had left and before it was their turn to have parents called. they were not happy so last week when the power went off they called Papaw pat from their cell phone. I guess the decided Pat would come get them if they called so last Monday Brooke was texting Pat that Tanner was sick and for him to come get them well after an hour of texting he was called by the office and went after them and put them straight to bed... they went right to sleep... they had spent the entire weekend together and stayed up too late and was behind on sleep, apparently. We have decided they can't spend 2 nights together on weekends lol.
All the kids got their progress reports and they were all good. So Kyle has gotten his truck back and his phone as well. Man it has been a long summer ... if you gonna slack off on your school stuff don't do it the last semester around here, PLEASE!!!!!
We made a trip to the lake this weekend and have a few updated photo's. Finally we have the rock columns on the pavilion finished. The walls have been painted and they are ready to start laying the ceramic tile in the bathrooms and hall area. We rearranged all our stuff in the den area so it can be covered and the walls that need to be altered for the front entry and the garage/mudroom entry. I know I will not get back for many weeks but I am sure Susan will send me photo's. I think Pat will be able to make a week trip out there the 1st week of October when the kids are on Fall Break. My outage hours start tomorrow and I am not looking froward to that but the money will be nice to help out with some extra stuff for the lakehouse.
The existing rock fireplace and the new rock is matching up pretty good considering.
As you can see the water level is down but I suspect it will go lower before it starts up, lol.
I went to a Curry High School football game on Friday night, and saw Ali with her flag in the band. Marcia's grandson Jake plays on the team and had some good plays tonight. It has been 35 years + since I have been to a game there. I did not see anyone that I knew other than the group that went with us or we had planned to meet there, but I know there had to be some I knew and just did not recognize. There was a good crowd and was a pleasant atmosphere even if we did get beat badly. I don't know why Curry is playing the teams they play now vs the ones they use to play. I feel like they have them playing out of class or something. I was surprised the band was so small, I wasn't expecting it to be anything like the bands I have been use to hearing but was not expecting a 32 instrument band with 12 dancers and 6 flag girls. I suspect someone is having to rebuild the band as Tracy is building the choir group.
Ali as the band comes in before the game.
Yellow Jackets ready to BUZZ the field.
Fans support their team even when they lose.
