October 30, 2010. San Antonio, Tx. Action.

Never a dull moment, here in Texas, in the home of David and Suzanne. At seven-thirty this morning, David was at the store, renting an auger so he could dig the posts for the Volleyball court. He was half finished at ten, when Sarah and her friend had to leave for their volleyball game. I went with David as I had not seen Sarah's team play this year. This weekend is Volleyball tournament time, single elimination, so when you win, you play the next game, if you loose, you go home. Sarah's team won on Thursday so they play the next round today. Sarah's team played at eleven. They lost, barely, but they lost, so now she is finished.

Meanwhile, Suzanne took Ken along with Allison and Samantha to see Abigail's game at noon, fortunately at the same venue as the twins soccer game at one. Abigail had stayed overnight with Hanna, who acts as the team manager, so Abigail met Suzanne at the game. Now we must juggle. I watch the first of Abigail's game, then go to see Allison and Samantha on the soccer field, while David does the same, only in reverse. Suzanne is keeping the official book at the volleyball tournament so she is stuck in the gym, but she must be home, ready to be picked up at 2:30.

Abigail's team was top seed, so the first round was a bye for them, which I thought right off was trouble, as they had no time to get loose and confident. They too lost and immediately headed to the restaurant to celebrate their season. Meanwhile, the twins lost their game, then had a second game twenty minutes later, which they also lost. Everybody lost but everyone seems just fine

Suzanne and Sarah were invited to attend the Texas game in Austin, about an hour and a half hour drive away, so they had to be home by two-thirty to drive with a friend of Sarah's and her Mother. They are playing Baylor so we have a divided family, some cheering for Texas and some for Baylor.

Immediately upon our arrival home from the twins game, David got to work on the Volleyball court. He rented the auger for the day, so wanted to take it back before six. So here we are. I am in the house awaiting Abigail's arrival home, David, Samantha and Allison and Ken are finishing up the court, then will return the auger, while Suzanne and Sarah are off ready to cheer for the Texas football team.

Soon we will watch the game on TV and relax!! There is never a dull moment here at home in Texas.
