Beeville - What a Place!!

We arrived in Beeville on Monday and found Chris and Falene's new place. They rented a small home (much bigger than their apartment in Davenport) that is very comfortable. This is a picture of the front of their home. We were quite puzzled by the fact that the lawns were not mowed anywhere, not even at the county building.

We looked up the church's location tonight, and it turns out to be about 3-4 blocks away from Chris' house. Those of you who have been to Beeville will know about where Chris lives.

Falene's new kitchen. It has cupboards, pantry, new stove, dishwasher, all the luxuries needed.
Picture of their living room and the all vital air conditioner.
Chris, Falene and Aidan in front of the Dental Hygiene building at Coastal Bend college. Falene and Chris went over there this afternoon and met a couple of her teachers. They dropped Alisyn (sp?) and Brad's names and they are well remembered. They must have made a great impression.
Picture of the college entry. Should bring back memories for a few members of Sharon's family.
I am rather surprised that people from Magrath would make fun of Beeville. Beeville has all the luxuries of life, a Super Walmart, 2 Dairy Queens, a pizza hut, Church's Chicken, 2 Subway's and a Chili's. You don't see that in Magrath! Maybe it is the people that they are making fun of.

Another advantage that Beeville has over Magrath, is the gas price. You don't see gas at $3.35 much anymore anywhere in the USA let alone Canada.
The one thing that I have noticed is that people talk to you while you are waiting in lines. Everywhere I went, total strangers would start talking to me. We were at the dollar store last night and some guy was talking to the clerk while paying for his stuff. He suddenly turned around and asked me if it was going to stop raining. I told him that I didn't know since I had never been to Beeville until that morning. So I asked him if it had been raining a lot. Turns out that they have had lots of rain and so have not been able to mow the lawns.

We were at Wal Mart last night and Chris and I were commenting on some foot stuff that is supposed to detox your body. I, like normal, told Chris that it was a scam because they had done scientific study on it and it turns out not to do anything. They guy in front of us turned around and assured us that it did do stuff, but didn't really make you feel better. His ex-wife did it and it worked great. You really have to be careful about what you say in lines around here.

Miscellaneous Pictures from the Big Weekend

I thought that I would post some pictures that were interesting to me from the weekend. It has taken Janice and I a few days to recover.

What a Weekend!!

Eve after the blessing with her brothers

I don't have any pictures of Aidan with his blessing outfit. But this one is a pretty cute picture of him having a rest.

At dinner after the blessings on Sunday, August 3. For those of you who were there, you will remember how hot the house was. It turns out the air conditioner was failing and finally failed a week later on Sunday. A new air conditioner is on order to be installed tomorrow.

Brenden and Miles were the ring bearers and did a very good job. They both really liked their tuxedo's and ties. They were very cute. They are moving up the aisle with the rings on the pillow.
