It's Friday!!! Weekend Plans???

Not sure what we're doing, yet. Probably housework and stuff around home. Hubby called a few minutes ago, and wants me to take off early and go eat seafood for dinner, but he won't drive the 30 miles to the restaurant I want to go to on the coast. So sad that our hometown doesn't have a decent seafood restaurant. I really don't care too much for Red Lobster. We have a couple of locally owned restaurants, but to get really first rate seafood, you have to go to Barkett's in Seadrift or Clark's in Port O'Connor, and both are quite a drive.

Hope everyone has a nice break from the week, whatever you decide to do!!

My company left a while ago and I'm just exhausted! I loved having them here but it's more cooking than I'm used to doing and, of course, more clean up too. The house is kinda' messy and I think that I'll just get to it when I get to it!!!!! After I get off of here I think that I'll go ride the 4-wheeler. It's so nice and sunny outside!

I'm going shopping tomorrow:

For a new pair of Justin lace-up ropers. I have not been able to get my bad foot in my pull-on boots, so Hubby suggested I get a pair of lace-up boots. My Project Vice President treats us to a company night at the rodeo each year (the 21st), so I'm splurging for that. I might try to find a new western shirt.

Hopefully, we'll get some live oak trees to replace the 5 we've lost to hurricanes.

And, I need to go by a feed store and get Yahtzee's little puppy girl her first shot!

Happy Weekend All!

Thank you, made it with photoscape.

It is a beautiful day out and I think I'll get out. My deck is almost clear of ice and snow, so the dogs can go running around out there. I can't wait until it's warm enough to just leave the screen door open a bit so they can run in and out. I am afraid of hawks but I'm going to try it out anyway.

In a lot of places, you can see earth instead of snow, and the ponds are melting.
It may snow again, but spring is definitely on its way.

Tonight there's a gallery opening and my yoga teacher is doing something in The Commons, which is a great building in the next town over. There is an art gallery, an artisans shop, a home goods shop, and a yoga space there. They have something every Sat. from 5 to 7 in the winter months. There's also the Roxbury Arts Guild, where they have similar things going on. Tonight they are having an Irish rock band. I'd love to see it if I had a man to go with. I'm tired of going out just with "the girls."

Tomorrow I'm having my family over. Monday is my birthday, so I figured I'd invite them here. I may get Chinese food, or bagels and stuff. I'm not sure.

Sandy, I remember that you decided on live oak trees, but did you think about Montery Oak trees? They are like live oak in that the new leaves push out the old leaves in March - but they are much faster growing. I planted one in my front yard and it is growing so well, I am amazed. You can't beat live oaks, for sure, but the Monterey oak sure grows a lot faster and looks very similar.

We didn't get to the tree place today. I decided to clean house instead and Hubby's almost through with the new/replaced garden fence.

I'll definitely check into the Montery Oak and see if I can find them around here. THANKS

Sandy, they are also sometimes called White Oaks or Mexican Oaks as well as Monterey Oaks. Someone recommended them to me when I was looking for a tree to replace the one we had to remove from the front of our house. The house faces west and I wanted a great tree like a live oak, but wanted something that grew faster than a live oak, since I needed the tree to shade the house in summer. I am so happy with the Monterey oak! So, definitely check them out!
