Well, Jessie got to go to her first big time sporting event this weekend. She got to go to the A&M vs Tech game at Kyle Field. And what a fabulous event it was. 84,459 people like us got to see A&M whoop up on Texas Tech 45-20. It really was a great game and a great day for football.We wanted her to get the "whole" Aggie treatment so we met Uncle Donnie 2.5 hours before the game. We wanted to see the Corp memorial that Sally's dad's name is on. We also wanted Jessie to get to see the corp line up and step off. Well, when we got there, the band was already on the move. We didn't know what was going on so we followed them. Turns out, they were going to do a special parade for President Bush 1. On the way to the parade ground we had our first celebrity sighting. We walked right past David Robinson.
I am sad I did not go up and shake his hand. He was truly a class act in a very class less sport! After seeing him, we lined up to watch the parade. Sally and Jessie went up to the reviewing stand and got this pic of the President. After the game, we headed home. We got to take Jessie to the new pizza place in Brenham. It is probably the best pizza I have ever had. Jessie, who can be a hard to please in the food area, agreed with our assessment.

Sunday we got up and met our neighbor Alan at 7:15. He came down with his Bobcat post hole drilling machine and drilled our post holes for our picket fence. The machine was truly impressive. He drilled 17 holes in less than 30 minutes. It would have taken me more than 30 minutes to dig a single hole! After this, we told Jessie bye and we headed to church. CCE was good. The kids got to dress up like their favorite saints and give a report. It is always our most popular class. During communion, Sally saw a kid she taught in kindergarten! He is now a 32 year old engineer. She was very excited to see him and they had a lovely visit. After this we were off to Houston. We took Herb to lunch and had another celebrity sighting. I got to meet and visit with ex-Governor Bill White. He was very personable and I really enjoyed getting to meet and visit with him. After visiting with MiMi (who was having a really good day) we took Herb to Buddy and Kim's to see their Halloween show. Again he out did himself! All in all it was a very good weekend.
