Happy Friday!

Man, this has been a busy week!! I am ready to relax a little this weekend but then I am off to Indianapolis next week for Training. I've never been to that city so I'm excited to experience it. I fly back on Friday and then Lee and I are off to the Fair that afternoon! I am so ready to try a 'Fried Smore' and all kinds of other Fair Food!

I have to mention that Ronna was at the Stars game last night (Front Row Ice) and sent me some lovely pictures of Mike Modano from her phone!! If you know me well, you know I had an infatuation with him! Thanks Ronna!

Happy Friday!

Another Picture of Marcus....

Pole Dancing

HaHa! Marlo just sent these pictures to me. This is from Labor Day weekend at Houston's in Ft. Worth. They have an upstairs patio and it has a pole for anyone who feels the need to dance around/with it!! Well, Lee took the opportunity..........

Here is Marlo pole dancing also!!

And now Lee....

Nice Weather

I don't really have a good title for this post so I just wanted to say how nice the weather has been the last couple of days!! Anyway, thank you for all the prayers......my family was safe during Hurricane IKE. Even their homes were spared and I am so grateful! Some are still without power but we are hoping it will be restored soon. I posted some pictures of Friday night, my friend Miriam and I went to PF Changs and had a great dinner and really good wine!

Update - Hurricane IKE

Well, I had previously posted that my family was going to ride out the storm but after the Fire Chief and several police officers went thru my Grandmother's neighborhood last night to let them know that they were too low and the storm surge would be too much for their homes.........they are on the move. They were going to stay at my Aunt and Uncle's house because they are at a much higher elevation in Nederland but today they have found out that the storm surge will be too much for them to stay as well. So, I ask for prayers. My grandmother is 85 and doesn't travel that well. She has panic attacks and I fear what she will go thru if her home is destroyed due to the Hurricane. She is a trooper and will be able to rebuild if it comes to that, I just hope that God will give her peace during all of this. And my Dad too, as he is going to have to put his patience at a high level!! My mom is a caretaker and is ready to welcome everyone into her home, I hope she knows how much she is appreciated for that. I know there are many stories that will come out of this that will impact so many people! I pray for the safe arrival of all evacuees to wherever they may be headed, for the animals that are left behind, for the volunteers and their relentless efforts to help, for the families that open their homes up and for gas to be plentiful for those that are still driving! Be safe!

Hurrican IKE

It has been an active Hurricane/Tropical Storm season so far. My family lives in Southeast Texas (Beaumont area) and they evacuated for Gustav. I don't think they are going to evacuate for IKE though. It makes me nervous but I'll say some prayers that the damage is not severe!! To all of you that have to evacuate or that are going to stick it out.......I wish you well and pray for you all!

Labor Day Weekend

I can't believe that Labor Day weekend has already come and gone!! Friday night the Cats played Grand Prairie in Grand Prairie and my friend from work, Miriam, went with me to the game. Her two kids came along also and had a great time, they all got baseballs and had them signed by several players. The Cats ended up losing and that was the end of their season. Saturday night we went out to see some of the players before they went 'back home', wherever that may be. We had a great time and I got to dance.....alot.....so, thank you Lee for staying out with me so that I could dance with the girls! He was ready to go home at 11pm and I'm the one that wanted to stay out........that is most unusual:) Needless to say, I spent Sunday recovering from my late night out. Monday, Lee and a friend played golf and then we just hung out the rest of the day. I posted some pictures below from the weekend.

These pictures of Lee are actually from last Tuesday when he pitched at home against Grand Prairie.



This is a little dark but a good picture of most of the pitchers looking on during the game in Grand Prarie.

The players have this 'myth' about not shaving until the playoffs are over. Well, here is Lee before shaving!

Miriam and her daughter, Addison, at the game Friday night.

John, Addison and Devin having a good time at the game.



This is from Saturday night, Erin and I at Fox and the Hound.

Marlo and Joel

Lee (shaved!!!) and Jake

I have to laugh at this picture of me.....in every picture my eyes looked half closed so in this one I am purposely trying to make them as wide as possible. Gracious!

This was the part where we started dancing....

Monday at the golf course......this is Shane getting ready.

and Lee taking some practice putts.


Hope everyone had a safe Holiday!
