Our weekend went by too fast as usual. It was good though. It was an Epic weekend for sports around our
home. That makes the weekend very
memorable. The kids and I got to see my
parents, which is always a lot of fun, but not nearly long enough. Then we wrapped it up by honoring our
veterans, whom so graciously serve/served our country.
It is officially Playoff Season here in Quanah. Friday night the Fighting Indians beat out
the Windthorst Trojans for 2nd Place in our District. The boys fought hard and played great defense
to hold down the Trojans in the 2nd half. The final score was Windthorst 23 and Quanah
26.
This Friday night Quanah will travel to Clyde to take on
Forsan at 7 p.m. If you can… drive over
and support these Indians!!

Then there was that one game. You know, the one where Texas A&M beat
Alabama who was – WAS - ranked #1. Yeah, they rolled that tide…Whoop! I sure do
sound like an Aggie fan, huh? Before I met my husband I thought maroon was the
worst color and cheer for the Aggies? Ummm no.
However, I love my husband so much I have adopted his love for this
team. I was just as excited about this
win (well, he was ecstatic…I was excited) as he was. I wasn’t able to watch the game on TV, but I
did find myself thankful for ESPN Gamecast…..so that has to tell you I am a
true fan now. I surprise myself, but I
love football and that was an EPIC game! I even know University of Texas fans
that were happy for those Aggies. Texas
love. Way to go Aggies…ranked #8!!
Sunday mornings, my favorite, are usually spent at our
little country church and this Sunday was no different. We started attending North Groesbeck Church
of Christ a year ago this month. Since
Day 1 they have welcomed us with open arms and we have felt right at home. Occasionally, Coach Sims is the speaker and
yesterday was his turn. I always enjoy
his lessons. He is knowledgeable and
captivating. I learn something from him
all of the time.
If you are looking for a church home … we would love for you
to come visit us! The church is 6 miles north of Hwy. 287 on FM 1166.
Our services are:
Sundays
10 a.m. Sunday School
11 a.m. Worship Service
12 p.m. meal
Wednesdays
6:30 meal
7:00 Bible Class
Last, but certainly not least, we attended the Veterans Ceremony in Quanah at the First Baptist Church. It was a great program! The 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders performed…they were too cute! They did a fabulous job singing, reciting poems and sang the National Anthem with sign language! Pure talent! The community combined choir also sung the anthem for every branch of the U.S. Armed Forces. It was beautiful and I got a little teary eyed as Coach Sims stood up during the Army’s song. He was also the keynote speaker and was amazing! Love to hear him speak! He did a great job and I am so thankful for him serving our country!
I spied this Thankful List this weekend. Someone is not thankful for Obama, but they are thankful for Vegetable Laxatives....I had to giggle. Politics Schmolitics! I'll let you folks worry about that stuff. I've got cookies to bake and games to attend :) ...
I hope each of you had a great weekend and I hope you have an even better week!
