Coffee Ice Cream with powdered doughnuts...it is to die for!

Longhorn football and a 9/11 tribute....
The football crowd observed a moment of silence and then the
Longhorn Band played God Bless America.
Not a dry eye in the stadium ... everyone sang their heart out!
The jumbo-tron had a slideshow from 9/11..featuring
THE FIRST RESPONDERS. They are our HEROES!
"Horns up" during the moment of silence...
 
Following the 9/11 tribute...
we had a moment of silence for a Wyoming football player that was
killed in a car wreck this week.
The longhorn band played
the Wyoming School Song.
Everyone had their "horns-up" and again...there was not a dry eye in the house.
My prayers are with Ruben's sweet family ~ and with the three players that were
in the car with him. I personally know...what a hard time a team has
when they lose a dear friend and player.
The Horns take the field....Go, Horns, Go!!
The first quarter was long and dull...but the game perked up after that!
The victory line after half time was made by FIRST RESPONDERS.
Another tribute to the first responders of 9/11!

Another TEXAS LONGHORN win 34-7 over the WYOMING COWBOYS!
Next week....Texas Tech in Lubbock!

Great pictures. She adores your puppies. She keeps telling me that when you and Rob go out of town we are going to watch them for you. Oh, and Lola is her "dream" dog. She had such a great time. Thanks again!
