On Friday afternoon, we left home for San Antonio with our first stop in Spring Branch. There, we met up with some friends at their house for some bbq and visiting. What a beautiful place they have. We watched the deer come up to the feeder in the back yard. Saw a jack rabbit and a few bullfrogs.
Leaving their house around 11pm we headed to our son and daughter-in-laws house, getting there around midnight. We talked with Brian for just a few minutes, then went to bed.
The next morning (Saturday) Ashlynn and I got up and headed off to North Star Mall. That is an Awesome mall! We got there early and found up front parking!! We went from one end of the mall to the other. We spent most of the day there. Didn't find as many deals as we really wanted, but what fun we had spending time together.
On to Saturday evening. After all day shopping, we got home changed clothes, picked up the guys and off to the River Center Comedy Club. Ashlynn had the directions, new exactly where we were going. We got to the Laugh Out Loud Comedy Club right on time. Only it was the wrong club! We got back in the car, raced to downtown, got parking and got to the right club just as they were closing the doors. We got seated before the show started. The first comic was not good at all. The second was a bit better, except for his language was horrible. The headliner, Justin Worsham, was so funny! He was worth the price of admission. We all had a good time listening to him. You can check him out on www.youtube.com The majority of his comedy is about his family.
We got home about 11 and went to bed...at least Ashlynn and I had gone to bed. Brian, Sr and Brian, Jr and maybe Joseph not real sure what did, stayed up and watched the rest of the Steelers preseason game, which they had recorded.
Sunday morning brought church. We tried out a new church with Brian & Ashlynn. They wanted to go to Oak Hills Church in San Antonio. Oak Hills is where Max Lucado preaches. That is one LARGE church!!!! The message was good, but I was a tad disappointed that Max wasn't the one preaching this week. Although he was there and he opened and closed the service. The preacher was Randy Frazee. He was very good. So not disappointed at all about listening to him. He taught on the importance of living out Christ in you own neighborhood, to your neighbors. Building relationships with them, so that when the time comes you can help in what ever area necessary. At the end Randy mentioned the tv show Worlds Strictest Parents that is put out by the BBC. They applied and were accepted as a strict parent family. The are getting 2 British teens to live with them for, I believe, 10 days. They are to try to turn these kids around by showing them a different way to live. They are evidently teens that are into things that they shouldn't be. That will be neat to see the show when it airs here.
After church, we packed up our car to head back home. We left around 1pm got to the house, to drop off Joseph, at 5. We left him here and went on to our small group Bible study. They are an aweseome group of people, so we didn't want to miss even one session. Got home around 9 and pretty much went straight to bed!
So that's it! Our last hurrah before school. It's now Monday morning, Joseph is off to his first day as an 11th grader. In just awhile, I'll be off to the pre-school to get my classroom in order. Pre-schoolers arrive on Wednesday!
So long summer, it's been great!
