We motored up to Dallas today with Collin for some tennis racquet shopping. He's really gotten into tennis this year - and he's very good!

Taylor drove down from Denton and met up with us for the afternoon. He's never been known to miss an opportunity for lunch... smart guy! It was great seeing him.

We went to the PGA Superstore, where there is a full-sized indoor tennis court. Collin demo'd (is that a word?) several racquets, and found one that excelled his game. This was great, because his birthday is coming up on Oct 18th. He'll be 16... I can't believe it! It's always hard finding something for a teenage boy (other than the obvious CAR.) Collin gave the "thumbs up" for this, so I'm happy!














This evening, Rick watched the Cowboys make a bad game turn worse, and I puttered around the house. The week ahead of us will bring mom and dad back on Tuesday. But not before we hold the 4th funeral since they left on vacation. We will be glad to have them back!

I sincerely hope it does not rain tomorrow. My crew doesn't need to dig a grave in the rain, and the family sure doesn't need to deal with the messy rain for the funeral day.
