I did have a great weekend.....

how about you?

I took my 12 year old granddaughter shopping on Saturday - we were bargain shopping and we got 4 tops, a sweater, a dress, and 4 pairs of shoes for $112 - pretty good, don't you think!!!

My football team, the Texas Longhorns, beat their arch rival, the Oklahoma Sooners and that is always a fun time when Texas wins.

We saw my daughter and her family a couple of times over the weekend and that is always a pleasure.

Hubby and I ate breakfast at Cracker Barrel today and that is always good.

I went to a jewelry show at a friends house - I'm posting some pix of what I bought! We had so much fun. She is friends with a lady who makes all this jewelry - it was absolutely gorgeous - I had to restrain myself to not by LOTS MORE!

The color is not very good in the pictures....

1. a 54 inch turquoise necklace that can be worn as a double strand or a triple choker
2. an 18 inch necklace with a turquoise strand, a brown pearl strand and a red carnelian strand
3. a green peridot 18 inch strand
4. two bracelets, one turquoise and one some green/brown stone

A couple more jewelry pics and a pic of my 2 year old granddaughter riding the four wheeler (very slowly) with her daddy.

1. a pair of turquoise earrings - sorry the pic is blurry!
2. the strand with turquoise, brown pearls, and carnelian also had a green stone enhancer which can come off
3. My cutie granddaughter with her handsome daddy!

Oh gosh, my whole week has felt like a blur!!!! Jaci had a volleyball game here in town on Thursday and they won both games!!! Yay!! Friday I tried to get the house straightened but didn't get it done. (I have to admit that it really is needing some desperate attention!!!) I thought that I'd finish it on Saturday but I ended up going to garage sales (and got some good buys!!). I took my daughter's boyfriend's daughter, Karlie (2 1/2 yrs) with me to the garage sales! She was a lot of fun! After we got home Dae Lynn came out to the house to get her and we had a long visit.

In the meantime, we had the Chi Alpha college church group here for a hot dog roast and a hay ride, but they come and stay all day. They had around 40 kids in all and I missed the games because of my visit with Dae Lynn. They do some of the coolest games and we just love to watch them! After Dae Lynn left then one of them brought in her baby to take a nap and when she woke up I watched her. She was a year old and just a little doll. I was really disappointed that I didn't get to spend more time with the group but, oh well. We had international students from Kenya and, I think, Singapore, and some other places. Glen took them out and they got to drive the tractor. They were so impressed!!! They had a pumpkin carving contest and, I guess they left all of them here. I need to go and gather them up!!

Today, after church and eating out, we came home and Dae Lynn and Damon came out and fished in the pond. I ended up watching Karlie again but she slept the whole time. I was glad because, even though I love kids I feel a little tired of them and my back is so sore from picking her up!!! I'm so ready for things to slow down a little!!!! Oh and tonight we had a Missions banquet at church! Always something going on!!!

WOW Diana - you really DID have a busy busy weekend - but it sounds like fun!!! I like busy active weekends like that, unless of course, I've had a particularly hectic week at school - then sometimes I just like to sit and vegitate!

Let's see, what did I do. Friday evening I started laundry. Saturday I took the puppies to have their tails and dew claws done, I did laundry, paid bills, cleaned the kitchen. Emilee kept me busy always wanting out or to eat. Today I played computer games, swept the floor, went to my Mom's to help her clean up from the break-in and now I'm here. Tomorrow is going to be a bit busy too, with running my own errands and then helping Mom make some phone calls concerning the break-in.
