LAST HOME GAME 2009!

ROAD TRIP! We love going to Austin. We have the drive down there memorized. I think if our car could hear, we could just say "Austin" and we'd be on auto-pilot the whole way! My sister Nancy and her husband Greg joined us for this trip. Lots of fun! We had to take a new route to the game, and we saw more tailgaters than ever! This is nothing like the game days of my years at UT. Much more fun! Love the smell of all those hot dogs, hamburgers, etc. cooking before the game.

We sit in the same seats every game. We are up high, row 36 of the upper deck. The lady who wears this cap is there every game. I love this hat! This lady is probably in her 70's, very healthy. Nice goal for us to attain!
Love the Texas band. It would not be the same without them! We always watch them march into the stadium. The opening songs are always the same, but I love it. And I have Deep in The Heart of Texas memorized now.
And this young man has made the last 4 years especially fun to watch. Colt McCoy. This game was Senior Night. Last home game for the Seniors. Great game. We won handily. We always stay until we've sung "The Eyes" anyway. Afterward, the Senior Football players took a lap around the field. So much fun to watch, because the cameras were on Colt the whole time.
Colt had a lot of fun making the lap. He stopped where the Cowboys were, and fired the cannon. That's only during the game usually when we score, quarter ends, etc. Made me laugh. Next he heads for Big Bertha, the band's giant drum, and gives it a whack. Finished out getting pictures made with the cheerleaders, etc. After 4 years, it was like watching part of your family make the rounds!
And I don't think I can ever get enough of seeing the Tower all lighted up in Orange! We have seen it a lot the last 4 years! I hope we see the whole thing lit up with a #1 on its side in January!
We all had a lovely time! It wasn't even too cold! Sweatshirt weather!
The next day we went to the 620 Cafe for a great breakfast before heading back to Euless. Next time I am getting a cinnamon roll! They look too good!

The season is still got a ways to go! A&M next week, then on to the Big 12 Championship, then on to the Rose Bowl for the National Title BCS game. Lots of confidence in my team!

"But blessed are those who trust in the Lord
and have made the Lord
their hope and confidence."
Jeremiah 17:7

"Now Somewhere in the Black Mining Hills of Dakota....

...lived a young man named Rocky Raccoon."  I always thought that song said "South" Dakota.  Are there Black Hills in both Dakotas?  I'm sure I don't know and am not really going to take the time to find out, no matter how easy it is with Google, Bing, etc. After Cabin Time, This set of Worleys, young and old, headed for those Black Hills.  We were going to see Mount Rushmore.  In South Dakota.  And to see anything else that struck our fancy.  So we struck out in our trusty Jeep and Mini-van, loaded with kids and snacks.  On July 30.  We saw lots of motorcycles as we went.  Lots. Of. Motorcycles!  Come to find out, it was the start of the annual Sturgis Rally.  In Sturgis, SD.  If you do not know what that is, feel free to Google it! Our must stop place was Wall Drug Store.  In Wall, South Dakota.  We stopped, we ate, we shopped around.  It is a lovely place to spend a lot of time walking around. ...

THE WEDDING!

Image
The Wedding -- the only one we will ever host! Why didn't we have more girls? This was fun! Above, of course, Dad dancing with Bride Jenni. They had fun, didn't they? But of course, this was the reception, we are supposed to have fun! The week before the wedding was a whirlwind of last minute activities. We had guests from Chile at our house -- Kani - Rod's friend from childhood, and Cristian -- Rod's brother. We also had Lindsey -- Jenni's bridesmaid and friend of Rod from Chile. We worked on wedding stuff and ate way too much! Decorating the church was actually easy -- we had lots of help. We decorated on Wednesday evening. On Thursday, we finished up by adding trees to the auditorium. And, dumb old me, I have absolutely no pictures of it! I can only hope our photographer took some! Table Decorations at Rehearsal dinner -- Cute! Friday night -- rehearsal dinner. Wow! The Rehearsal went great. Decorations -- provided by my sister and our friend Sue T...

On Being Alone

Sadie, in her "The Water Bowl is Empty" pose. I have spent the whole day alone! Well, Sadie and Belle are here, too. My goal was to sleep late, catch up on laundry, and read through March 4th in the Chronological Bible. I am happy to report, I have met all those goals! I felt a little bit like Mary or Martha today, depending on my activity. I would work some, read the Bible some, eat and drink something along the way. There was some praying occasionally, too. I have been in the book of Numbers today. One of my favorite hymns comes from this chapter six of this book (I am still trying to learn the alto part!): 22 Then the L ord said to Moses, 23 "Instruct Aaron and his sons to bless the people of Israel with this special blessing: 24 'May the L ord bless you and protect you. 25 May the L ord smile on you and be gracious to you. 26 May the L ord show you his favor and give you his peace.' Of course, one of our greatest blessings is Ava. She is getti...
