Today we celebrated Ninny's 83rd birthday (Feb. 22) with a Sunday dinner at our house. Erin, Ashton and Landry were able to come down. We all enjoyed good food and good company.
Ashton somehow talked Jon, Brodie and Chris into playing Sequence with her. I even think I heard some rumors that she won.
It was good to sit around a tell stories and catch up on everything.
On Thursday, the basketball team traveled to Ames, Iowa, for a Saturday morning (11 a.m.) game. We would normally go on Friday afternoon but Iowa State was having a gymnastics meet in the arena on Friday night so the only time we could practice on floor was from 9-11 a.m. on Friday. That meant that after 11, we had nothing to do the rest of the day. Well, we managed to go out to eat then went to the movies later in the afternoon. I saw Juno and would recommend it to all.
We played the game and posted a 5-point win. From the arena we went to the Ames airport to board our charter flight back to Waco, we were slated to arrive back at 4 p.m. We had all boarded the plane (lugaage was loaded as well) by 2 when Coach Mulkey noticed that the plane had a flat tire. They didn't have the facilities to fix the tire (how random is that) there so we had to get off the plane. Luckily, our bus hadn't left yet. So, we boarded the bus, eventually found a restaurant in Ames that had room for 24 people and had a lot of television sets so we could watch basketball games.
As it turned out, we had to wait until the plane carrying Iowa State's men back to Ames from Lubbock got there. We finally left Ames at 7 and got to Waco about 9:15. So much for paying for the convenience of a charter flight. All I can say is, it's a good thing we won the game!
That's all for now...later.
