After a breakfast of waffles shaped like the state of Texas, we tried to get an early start yesterday. Josh texted us at breakfast that at 1:00 AnnaGrace was singing in a concert at her homeschool Co-op. That was about 3 and a half hours away. We did the math and opted to give it our best shot. On to Waco.
The drive was not as long as the day before, but it was occasionally rainy or misty. Just enough to wash that evil yellow pollen off. On the way we saw lots of bluebonnets (welcome back to Texas!). I thought I saw some random wild chickens, but there is a strong possibility they were turkey vultures instead. Gorgeous critters. Just like the one gracing our back seat with his presence.
We made it in plenty of time for the concert. In fact we saw the kids at their lunchtime before the concert started. We also found out from Christi that Caleb’s baseball game was canceled. Sad. I can’t understand why they didn’t just close the roof. Oh, wait. High school baseball. No roof. My bad.
But the mini-concert was amazing, of course. They sang three songs. My favorite was “Deep in the Heart of Texas”. Made me think of the seventh inning of an Astros game. Way to go, AnnaGrace.
Last night we had pizza and a movie night with the family. Lots warmer than the baseball game would have been.
Genesis 1:1 says, In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Father, thanks for getting us back into Texas and among family. Amen.
