A while back I sent a family email entitled "It's not over till the fat lady sings". This was just after we had gotten a denial of Dad's loan from the mortgage company just 4 days prior to the closing date! Well we now have closing set for the "new" house on Tuesday in Lubbock, and Wednesday in Dallas. We are planning on having Mother and Daddy here in Lubbock by this time next week. The plan is to fly Nic to Dallas and he will drive them in their car, with the dog and cat, back to Lubbock. And this fat lady will sing!!!!!
A great big thank you to Payton, Kayl, Phoenix and Nic for cleaning up all those "beans" in the front yard and also the vines in the back yard. That was a big job. I meant to take a picture, but got involved and didn't. Nic and I have still spent many hours painting and cleaning and still have a few more rooms to go. My old fat body is letting me know too, sore legs and back!! Wish I were 30 again :) :)
In my weekly call from Dad on Thursday, I told him that Thanksgiving this year will be at his house. He was very surprised and at the same time pleased and excited!! It has been a long time since that has happened. The entire family will be here and we will all bring a dish to make this the best Thanksgiving ever!! Memories waiting to happen.
Vicki and I were remembering back in the 50's when everyone would go to Grandma Lusk's house for Sunday dinners. There must have been 50+ people show up in that small 2 bedroom house. She would just spread out all the food and people would fill their plates and eat anywhere they could find, including the front yard. We kids always had so much fun with our cousins, just running around and playing. The women mostly stayed in the kitchen tending to the food and washing dishes. The men would gather and tell tales and smoke. The good ole days, for sure.
Going to the Texas Tech game with Amber and the boys today. Don't think they will win, playing the #5 team, West Virginia.
Taking requests for songs for the fat lady..........!!!!!!!!!!!!
