Great Weekend

What a whirlwind weekend of joy we had! Absolutely fabulous!

The first stop was my m-i-l's for lamb, sauteed potatoes and squash, and great conversation.

After a couple of dips in the pool, learning how to make a yummy crustless quiche, and CD cleaning up Mother's computer, we headed to Irving.

Since the twins and #3 were asleep, CD took #1 and #2 to Lone Star Comics. They used their allowance to buy some truly awesome baseball cards. CD says they have Star Wars cards. Wow! If only my parents hadn't tossed my collection from the 70s... sigh

Next stop: Bunny and happy crow's home... but we thought they were out and about, so we knocked on LQ and Leo's door... surprise! Janus Gate and a friend were visiting, and Leo was making compagnola (sp?) DELICIOUS!

We were able to peek into the serene setting our friends have created for their soon-to-be-born babylove. Very, very beautiful!! Great job! Truly smart to keep a bed in there for Mama and Papa.

I was also imparted the wisdom of Leo's "Great Aunt Sally 3 Penny Loaf." Woah! I might actually get groovin' on the bread making thing again, because with this recipe as a foundation, you can do sooooo many variations on a theme.

The cookies provided were most awesome, as well, with the children begging for more.

To our surprise, lo and behold, bunny and HC had been home the entire time. While we regret not being able to visit with HC, bunny was a most gracious, and fun!, hostess.

We saw wedding pictures!!

Oh, my, goodness... so much love.

So very much love.

Captured on film.

Breathtaking!

We tried the home-roasted coffee noted on bunny's blog.

She's not kidding. There's a HUGE difference. I'm afraid I am now spoilt for life!

The children were in awe of the "Wall of Death." Hope to post pics soon.

We had the most convivial conversations with bunny, and were sad to part company around 7 or so.

On the Road Again, (yes, that Willie Nelson tune) should have been the theme for the weekend. We opted for "I've Been Everywhere, Man" by Brian Burns (Hey! He and I could be related, ya know!)

Upon departing Irving, we headed straight to Mom's, talked, slept, and went to work the next morning.

In the afternoon, we had a wonderful cook-out at Mom's, and met a new neighbor.

We had a blast, but needed to hit the road again, heading eastward to our humble, but friendly, abode.

On our way home, we stopped to visit with some friends in New Hope. I really like the name of that town! We stayed way past our collective bedtimes, but it was a very nice way to end the day.

Hope to see YOU soon!
