Mother's Day....a day early!


We made our usual whirlwind holiday trip today.... First to Greenville, to visit Mary (mother in law) and clan. Had a nice lunch and visit.


Next stop....Mom and Dad's house in Emory. And there, we waited and waited and waited for Dad to get home. Ashley, Colton, Dylan and Colby went out to the Sale Barn and the boys LOVED it....didn't want to leave. Ashley brought Colby back to the house and took the boys BACK to watch the sale some more....Dylan wasn't too keen on the hot shot, but after explaining that it really wasn't hurting the cows (course we don't know that for sure....I mean I've NEVER had a hot shot put to my skin, have you?), all was great. After Dad got home and Mom got her two yellow rose bushes, we all loaded up and went to AJ's on Lake Fork. I'd say this is one of Colby's all time favorites, the boy loves him some buffet... Those attending were Mom, Dad, Colton, Dylan, Carla, Paul, Danny, Ashley and I. Notice a few names missing? Dallas and Chelsey had to get back to a birthday party, Tazz was at home sleeping after fishing in a tourney all day, Katelyn was studying for finals, and Morgan just didn't make it...
And....I got a purse from Vera Bradley and matching flip flops...a bracelet which is a replica of one that Jackie Kennedy used to wear, a beautiful card and book, gift card, and key faub. Great Mother's Day for me!
Only one thing could make it complete...........if Morgan would make a trip to Winnsboro and just give her sweet Mom a hug, that would make it a great Mother's Day for all of us.
I hear Danny snoring....or maybe it's Lily. I'm off to sleep a while.
Happy Mother's Day and thank you to Ashley, Chelsey and Colby for making it so special, I love you all!!!

Slacker...missed posting Thursday and Friday!

Thursday was spent finishing up my quest to clean up the house. All DONE....now, don't anyone move around here or something will be out of place! Finally threw in the towel on our azaleas and tore those suckers out along with the two yucca plants in the front of the house. Planted boxwoods (I don't think I will kill these!) and some other shrub in their place. Planted a few more flowers as well. After that, we took off for Denton to see the Girl's Softball team beat Kennedale in round one of a series....one step closer to a return to State!!! Prior to leaving, Danny sunned a little in his Speedo (yes, I said Speedo). Realtor called...sign will be up very soon (sigh).


Friday was up and out early, manicure, pedicure, eyebrow wax, oil change, and a little shopping. Danny had to pick Chelsey up from school, because I didn't make it back in time. Tootled around the house a little bit then took I off for Denton to see Celina beat Kennedale AGAIN!!! Area Champs, now on to Regionals... The boys won too, they plan again today, in Frisco. Would be great to see both teams advance to State.

Stopped at Mc Cocina in Plano to see old friends from Centex/Fox & Jacobs/CityHomes. We laughed and talked about all the trips we used to take, or as we called it, "The Good Ole Days."

Have a great day all, we're going to be celebrating Mother's Day. My request? Minnows, breakfast at Swaggers and fishing on Sunday. I'm easy!
