Wichita Wings!!!

I was a Wings season-ticket holder for almost 20 years. I hear there is a petition to bring them back to town, so they can play in the new arena. I have a lot of great memories from those days. We saw some of indoor soccer's best players - Jorgen Christensen, Kim Roentved, Norman Piper, Chico Borja, Mike Dowler, Erik Rasmussen, Dale Ervine, Kevin Kewley, etc. Brandon went to his first game (a playoff game) when he was 1 week old. He spent the first 12 years of his life attending games, and knew every player's name! The twins went to their first game when they were 2 weeks old. By that time, we couldn't afford season tickets for all of us, and Corby decided the stress of the games was too much for him; so he stayed home and the twins took turns coming with Brandon, me and my mom. Lots and lots of great times at the Coliseum! Sometimes I wonder where those players are now.

The most amazing thing? That you attempted to spell all their names and did it correctly (I think)!

Margaritaville!

We had a wonderful get-together at On the Border this afternoon. The margaritas were great! Of course, I was the only one drinking - and I'm not even much of a drinker. It was great seeing my niece, Lenore and my nephew, Nick. Even though Nick lives here, I don't get to see him much, as his work hours prevent us from seeing much of each other. We did make a pact to get together and see a movie over the Thankgiving holiday. We will be going to Oklahoma on Thanksgiving to spend it with Charles, but I'll have to come back Thanksgiving night as I have to work on Friday. Here are some pictures from our afternoon out. Kaleb with Nick (Brandon provided Kaleb's rabbit ears)... Kaitlin and Brandon Mom, Terry, Sandy and Lenore Lenore and Mike Ryan and Diana Diana in her Garth t-shirt (I can't wait until tomorrow night!) Me with my sister Rhonda Mom and Lenore THE WHOLE CREW minus me - I'd rather be taking the picture! We are childless tonight, as Brandon went to a concert...
