This morning began with some tasty bacon and eggs with biscuits. After breakfast I had to deal with a battery issue in the Silver Star, which was finally rectified in the afternoon.  We are once again road ready.

This evening we returned to the aquatic center for Noel's swim training.  She continues to train for a half Iron Man race in April.  She is being trained by Green Multisport Training.

Tomorrow 8/24 will be our lovely Granddaughter, Shelby Nichole's 18th Birthday.  We will be on the road to Bedford TX to visit with Lela's Brother, H. E..

Happy Birthday Shelby!

Yesterday, Monday, We headed to Huntsville, TX to visit with Drew (Grandson) who is a senior this year at Sam Houston State University.  Grandma needed to see where he lives and help him to get moved into his new digs.  He has a roommate (Justin) to share expenses. Of course there was the obligatory trip to Wal-Mart for Drew's necessities. We hung pictures, posters and arranged his room.

There was a stop at Whataburger.  on the way home.

Because G'pa likes Whataburgers.

After our burgers we went to the Aquatic Center for Noel to work out in the pool.  She had already done an hour on the bicycle in the morning.  She is really serious about her race in April.  Lela and I just marvel at her stamina and determination.
