Texas Visit

I am posting from the Abilene airport as we wait for our flight home. Our time in Abilene was good. We had a good time with Ann’s parents. Her mother is suffering a lot of pain but, as always, she does not let it stop her from whatever she sets her mind to. We played lots of 42. We ended tied for the visit. We need some older competition I suppose.

The week was highlighted the Abilene Christian University football game Saturday. We were guests of Ann’s brother, Lorin. ACU won the game and finished 10-0 for only the second time in school history. They are in the Division II playoffs and have a descent shot at a national championship. Saturday evening we attended a concert by Barrage. They are a musical group consisting of 6 violinists, two guitarists and a drummer. It was an outstanding performance. The local high schools have a similar but larger group called Revolution. They were equally entertaining. Their talent and energy was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole event. Check out Barrage from this UTube video:
