September 2021

9/29 - We put Grimmy up - Kasey's 12 foot Grim reaper blow up for Halloween.

9/26 - Kasey had her first cotillion class.  She rides with 3 other girls.   Its fun to listen to them.  Many of the boys are shorter than the girls and most of the boys don't know a lot what is going on so they have a lot to talk about.

9/25 - Kasey had a birthday party at a mall dave and busters.   I took her up there, did a little shopping at Sam moon and then went to the bar for a drink and to watch the Aggies not play Arkansas very well.  I got to chat with her friends mom for a little while

9/20 - It looks like Kasey is officially taller than me.  I'm the shortest person in the family now :)

9/18 - Landon drove me for the first time to church for a court of honor.  Greg went to the A&M game with Doug.  I stayed home with the kids.

9/17 - I had an onsite/offsite with my managers.  We were in a room most of the day wearing masks because of the rules.   It was good to see each other.

9/16 - we went to Addison Oktoberfest on Thursday because it was the only day we could go.   Greg, Kasey, Doug and I went.   Kasey talked us into getting her a chicken hat.   The new setup the big tent is still covered but totally open on the sides.  As usual we had good food and drinks.

9/10 - Grammy and Gramps stayed with the kids while Greg and I went to Colorado for the A&M game. 

Friday Kasey went to football game with friends.  Landon was there with the band and then went out with friends afterwards.

We had earlier flights and had a bite to eat and drink in Dallas before leaving.  There was a guy in the bar with us that ended up at the same place we went to after we arrived in Colorado.  Friday night we went to Elway's for dinner.  Steak house which was pretty good.  

Saturday we had early lunch - really good burgers before we went to the game.  It was actually really warm in the sun, but luckily our seats ended up in shade after a while.  The game was a little crazy.   Aggies ended up winning but barely.  The fans from the other team were pretty rude - lots of language that made us think the kids should not go to school there!

We had a few drinks at the bar near the hotel before getting ready for dinner.   Saturday dinner was much different - much more upbeat vibe and I liked the food better than Friday. 

Sunday we came back home.   We didn't have to get a car because we were staying downtown.  We took a train to the area, walked to where we needed to go including dinner and the game.   It was a fund short weekend away.

9/8 - Landon really needed a hair cut but didn't want the short cut that he has been getting for a while.    I took him to a friend who recently got her license to help him find a style that is cool for a teenager :).  It will be a journey but glad we have someone to go to.

9/4 - We went down to A&M for the first home game.  It was red, white and blue game since it was near the 20th anniversary of 9/11.   The students organized again just like they did 20 years ago to have different tiers of the stadium wear red/white or blue.   Pretty cool to see the stadium that way.  

We stayed at Best Western.   After the game the kids went to bed and Greg and I had a drink at the bar.   Cool bartender and we enjoyed some bourbon.
