Sept 1-7 2018 Mack Creek and Ashleys First Jr. High Volleyball Game

I headed to the deer lease on Sunday and stayed till Thursday. Susan left Monday morning and went to Kristi's lake house for a small quilt retreat till Thursday. It was really nice temperatures as I had rain showers all around but didn't get much rain at the lease. I got several feeders going and did some dirt work on roads. I then started doing some mowing. In my old age I only mow early in the morning and late in the evening. After a few days my back needs a rest from all the bouncing around. I did manage to sight in a new scope I put on my lever action 44 Mag. Both Susan and I came home Thursday morning so we could go to volleyball games. Ashley had her first Jr. High game for Riverwood. They played Kingwood Middle School. I was surprised as we just dominated them. They could not handle our servers. Ashley had a great night, She only served one time and racked up 14 straight points to finish our last set. She has worked very hard on improving her serves and it has really paid off. Mackenna was playing in a tournament in Cypress , No way to be in two places at one time. They won 1 game and lost 1 game. That was their first loss of the season, the tournament will continue on Saturday. We will have plenty of games to choose from this fall. Sammi "s softball games will be on Monday nights, Mackenna plays on Tuesday and Fridays, Ashley plays on Thursdays, all with a few tournaments throwed in on weekends.

July 8-August 31 Summer is over and Grandids back in school

We didn't make any more trips after we came home from Arkansas. Susan did go to a couple of quilt retreats and I just piddled around the house. Kevin came home for a short visit and then headed back to West Virginia. We went to Bryan for Peytons 5th birthday. Things stayed pretty slow till August started. Mackenna started her first year in High School, she made the freshman volleyball team. They started playing games almost two weeks before school started. They play on Tuesday and Friday nights. Ashley made the Jr. High 7th Grade volleyball team. They start next week and will play on Thursday nights. Sammi is going to softball tryouts this week and they will start playing later in the month. Peyton started kindergarten at a charter school in Bryan and Luke has to wait another year to start pre-k. I moved the trailer to the deer lease last week, I probably will start staying up there quite a bit after Labor Day weekend. I sure am hoping for cooler days.
