Since we couldn't go anywhere on Monday...We sat and had coffee.
Kenny and I were discussing the small jungle on the side. Liz the sweetheart she is was making breakfast!
I did not starve while they were here, lol.

Anyway, Next thing i knew, we instead of any further discussion set out to prune up the trees and thin out the jungle!!
LOL, Kenny still in his jammies began to work, my kind a man, lolol.
ROFLOL, Really he just wanted to check out my weed wrench.

Tuesday, As I told previously we hired Alissa to take us shopping...

We went to a variety of stores, Michael's joAnnes, the auto store...
and a Thrift shop!!
Well, Liz made a great find! A tall glass jar filled to the rim of jewelery and beads and "junk", her favorite!
So when we got home she and Breenie had a ball sorting through it all!!

Morning, looking forward to the rest of the gathering, old?? Hmm now if you want to think old, wait until a photo of me show up!

Great pics and great stories. So glad you all had such a wonderful time, and that Brian was able to join you. Sometimes I guess we really "don't" want to hear the 'rest of the story', as with Brian. But if we don't know, it always haunts us. It was that way with my friend.

Hi - got some terrific news from a friend - they're lending us their 21 ft Motorhome for next weekend! So, it won't be too cold in the am when we wake up! And, no problem using it if it rains lol
These are some church friends of ours. They've lent it to their grandson & his wife & 2 girls. They'll bring it back on Thursday afternoon, Bob will get familiar with it, and we take off for camping on the Friday morning!! whooooo hoo! I've never camped in a motorhome before! Bob's driven a bus up to 40ft long, so this will be a cinch for him.

You are one lucky lady Susan..that is exciting news! A day doesn't go by that we encounter earthly angels!
