Hi Everyone!

[Janet]

Diana...your blouse and pants will look so summery with light/bright colors...I'm no fashionista by any means, but will the black sandals look alright? I love the style, but wondered if they could come in a lighter color other than white. What d'ya think?

Just went back an looked...what about a tan? or sandlewood?

Hi all!

I'm finally home. It was a long hard week in DC and I am so glad to be home. I got in at midnight and in bed by 1:30, and then up at 6:00. Another long day today at school!

Gary and my sil are fishing, so i'm spending the weekend with Brooke and the girls this weekend. Brooke had a cyst removed from her foot this week, she's in a boot and can't drive. I'm REALLY tired, but going to bed early tonight, although I won't sleep as well not being in my own bed. Oh well, I guess i'll get caught up on my sleep next week. Our classes are over on Friday and I'm ready!

Diana, I love your blouse, wrap and shoes. They will look so pretty at the wedding!

[Janet]

Glad you're home safe and sound Gayle, you are one busy lady. I know how much I LOVE sleeping in my bed so I know how you're looking forward to being in yours. It's nice though that you are about to stay and help Brooke. You will have a good time...I'm sure.

Diana I love your blouse and shawl. They will go really well with beige crop pants. I also love those black sandals. I would think that they would look really nice with your outfit.

Glad you're back Gayle!! Have a nice visit with Brooke and the girls. I hope her foot is better soon.

Diana, your outfit looks really nice. I know it feels good to have that all done & that you have something you really like and will feel good wearing!!

Thanks, everyone!! I'm really pleased with the clothes that I bought. I wish that you could see the blouse in person because it's so much prettier than the picture.

Janet, I think that the black shoes will look alright......or I'm going to pretend that they do!!! I looked at the lighter shoes but decided that I'd get a lot more use from the black ones later on......so I'm turning a blind eye to whether it really "goes" or not!! Hopefully everyone will have their eyes on Jaci and not on my feet !!!!!

[Janet]

LOLOL...I'm sure no one will be looking at your feet. I use to not like anything pink...it always made me think of Pepto Bismol. Now I'm beginning to like pink and not black so much...LOL. I know...I go through weird stages...LOL You're going to look beautiful!

Hi Everybody! I've been busy spending time with my kids and grandkids. Caleb stayed with us last week and Mikey is with us this week. They like to come separately so they have my undivided attention, lol! We'll go to church in Dallas with them this weekend, then have lunch at my dil's parents house. I am so thankful that we all get along. We have spent lots of holidays together over the years You know, it dawned on me the other day that I have NEVER had a cross word with either of my dils. I've only had Joy for 2 1/2 years, but I've had Rachel almost 14 years!! They are so very precious to me, and wonderful wives for my sons.

I went shopping today at the outlet mall with a couple of girl friends. We had such a good time! We just "skipped school" - please don't tell the Dean. LOL!!! Actually, as I mentioned before, school is out and I am leaving next weekend. We always try to do something fun together at the end of each semester and it was now or never!

We ate breakfast at Cracker Barrel and then hit the outlet stores.

I bought quite a few things FOR EVERYONE ELSE! Would you believe the only thing I bought for myself was UNDERWEAR!

I got Gary a cotton short sleeved shirt and a tee shirt. The tee shirt said, "Old fishermen never die, they just lose their lure" He'll think it's funny!

I got Emma a Disney princess beach towel. Oops, she was ready to go swimming and it was cloudy and rainy. I got Abigail some moccasin shoes she has been wanting.

I got my daughter a cast iron skillet - a really good brand, Lodge. They are usually pretty expensive, but I got this on sale for $18.00. I got my sil 3 books, origami with dollar bills, making airplanes with dollar bills, and tricks with dollar bills. Actually, when my 13 year old granddaughter, Abigail saw the books, she immediately wanted them, so I guess she and her dad will have some fun.

It was a good day. I have meetings tomorrow to finish up my grades for the semester. It will be good to be totally done. I hope to have a quiet weekend so I can get some things ready for our trip.
