Quick Run Through of Events

This past week has been a bit of a blur, being shortened by the Labor Day holiday. I will hit on the highlights.

• Last Saturday was my birthday (we won't say which number). The day started off with presents and breakfast in bed.....frosted mini wheats in a bowl so big it took all three of us to finish! This was followed by a call from Perry, my grandbabies and their sweet parents, Wes and Wendy, and then other family members. We did some running around and ended up at Red Lobster for dinner.
• Sunday was church and then friends and visiting teachers over for our usual batch of chocolate chip cookies.
• Monday was Labor Day. We went to Shaker Village at Pleasant Hill with a another family of friends. We took a horse drawn buggy tour of the village and heard the history of the Shakers. Very interesting. It was a beautiful day, completed by having this and another family over for dinner. Mark grilled the most tender, mouth watering steaks I have eaten in a long time. We also had sweet potato casserole, fruit salad, rolls and cucumbers & tomatoes. Deslicious!!! Oh! And the dessert - cheesecake and home made fudge! Needless to say, we were all stuffed!!
• Tuesday, Alysa was sick from all she ate the day before. So she stayed home from school and we got things done around the house.
• Wednesday & Thursday were normal days. Thursday evening, me and the girls went out AGAIN for Cari's birthday. A group of 6 went to Cheddar's for dinner and talked and laughed so hard, I'm sure people thought we'd been drinking! It was great!!
• Friday - nothing to report.
• Saturday - Today - Mark is in real estate class all day, Alysa and I are going to Lexington for some girl time and to eat at Red Robin, since she didn't get to go for my birthday girls' night. Then she's going to a birthday party and Mark and I will take in a movie.
