Let Sleeping Dogs Lie ...

Well, maybe next time. While I was publishing that last post, I caught Scooby dream sniffing and walking. He didn't dream bark this time, but I thought I'd share the video anyways. Hope all you dog lovers enjoy. I've got to join Scooby in dreamland ... sweet dreams.

Evacuation Station

The McGuire household in College Station, TX can now be dubbed "Evacuation Station." The first wave arrived on September 10th; and, at its height, measured seven adults, two kids, and two dogs. On the roll we have: Grandmommy, Tim & Janell, Ollie (labrador), Stacy, Hutch, and the newest Jehle addition, Elsa. Sean's long-time friend, Chris, joined us for one night, too. We have enjoyed their time here, and now that they have retreated back to LJ, the house feels so empty. Over the last couple of weeks, Sean and I have learned many things. We have learned how entertaining plastic cups, french doors, and mailboxes can be. We know there is nothing like holding a precious baby who likes to snuggle, and we know the pleasure of doing whatever it takes to make a young tot giggle (foot fives included). We have had the pleasure of taking care of our loved ones, and discovered that our house can comfortably hold lots of company! So, for all you friend and family members who want to take a trip to Aggieland, aka College Station, make the McGuire household your next vacation destination. We'll change the nickname to Vacation Station, just for you!

Here are some pics of the crew from the past couple of weeks:

Fightin' Texas Aggie Band.

This post is a special shout out to our PABC Journey Group in Athens, GA, and contains a clip of the Texas A&M Marching Band performing during the first football game. The clip is the last half of their performance. The full performance was too large to upload - sorry. We Aggies have a saying that we never lose a football game, but simply "run out of time." (I could insert a comment here, but I'll refrain.) We also say that we never lose at half time because we are so proud of the band. It still amazes me how tightly the band crams together while marching, and I still get a kick out of watching the tuba players make the turn. The style of marching is different than Georgia's, and I hope you enjoy the clip!


Wikipedia has a nice article on the band, if your interested in more info.

You know you're in Texas when ...

... the sky looks bigger, and the clouds look like fish.

... el queso esta amarillo.

... and, last but definitely not least, there is a tortilla baker in the local Kroger!

This is the first post that is a shout out to our friends in Georgia. We miss y'all and think of you often. Stay tuned for more Texas scenes....
