My daughter Brooke called yesterday and said, "If y'all are going to be home this weekend, the girls and I are coming up". And the answer was yes that Gary and I had decided not to go to the deer lease this weekend. Gary was really tired from being in Oklahoma last weekend, and he had worked hard (well he had been busy running around
) all week long, so he said he was just too tired to take the trailer to the deer lease. Plus, I think he felt sorry for me with all my poison ivy and he knew having to be out in the warm temps (high 80's) I would be miserable. So on Friday, we had decided we wouldn't go anywhere this weekend.
The reason for the girl trip from Houston was that Abigail wanted to go to a haunted house here in Austin. It's one she's gone to with her friends for several years - sort of a tradition. Bryan was going to work all weekend and Brooke thought it was a good time to come on up.
We were delighted to have them, except my housekeeper has been on vacation, so I had to scurry around and get the house cleaned up a little bit. It turned out to be fine and the house looked better when they got here, but now it looks like a tornado went through! LOL I'm glad the maid is coming on Tuesday!
We had fun, we went shopping for a bit yesterday afternoon. Then we went out to eat at a local restaurant, and the food was really good. Then Brooke left with Abigail and the other girls going to the haunted house. Emma, Papaw and I stayed home and we had a fun evening!
We will go out to eat this morning and then they will head back to Houston. I'll be able to get the rest of my errands done, and so it will have been a busy, but fun weekend!
