Weekend in Review

This weekend was a fun filled one, packed with everything from a trip to the movies, visiting with friends, christening a new bar, lunch at Macaroni Grill and looking at houses (my favorite past time because I love to decorate). So let me recap our activities...
  • We finally got around to it to see Momma Mia. I have to tell you that this movie was full of songs, Greece, dancing, Greece, great cast, Greece, toe tapping music and finally Greece. This leads me to my next gotta plan vacation....my Mediterranean cruise to the Greek Isles. Back to the movie, Meryl Streep was really good and who knew she could sing? Pierce Bronson is so handsome and a treat for this old lady's eyes, but the truth be known, he should never sing in public again or wear blue spandex! Don't get me wrong. I would see this movie again in a heart beat and when it comes out on DVD to purchase, I will own this.
  • Saturday we drove down to visit our friends who have felt a bit neglected. A good time was had by all.
  • Most of this spring and summer, our friends have worked non-stop finishing the basement of another friends. They have done a marvelous job and of course, we christened the bar. One apple martini later, my head was throbbing and I said, "Oh darn, I can't drink this vodka either".
  • Sunday we met the kids and grandson Jack for an afternoon lunch at Macaroni Grill. Their new menu allows you to select 2 items from the lunch menu for under $9. I happened to remember the coupon for a free appetizer...usually I leave it where ever I am not!
  • A quick trip to WalMart for our monthly meds and a few items. What would a weekend be if we did not visit the big W.
  • To kill time, we toured a couple of new subdivisions up 400 near exit 13. There are so many good deals out there for buyers. In the future, we would love to find something with no yard work, but with a yard. Does that make sense? We found the perfect place in Cumming but wish we could get closer to the city.

I snapped lots of pictures which I will upload later in the day. Well, this is a babysit Jack day so who knows if I will have time!!!!

Have a great week everybody!

Nice to "meet" you! Thanks for stopping by my blog. :)

And yes, on Monday's, you MAY find something educational yet unattractive. It was pointed out to me that I had somehow gotten into the habit of doing a "gross" blog on Mondays..hence the name Morbid Monday.

Actually, you never can tell what I'll talk about at Wiener World. I just can't help myself!!

After several days checking in and seeing no updates, I got a wonderful treat today! Not one post, but three since I last checked in on you. Gosh -- can Jack get any cuter? What a doll face! I love to hear all you're doing; mostly I like to imagine what it would be like to have a carefree lifestyle. Yet, here I am...supposedly working...but really wanting to catch up with all my friends. When are we going out for dinner?

P.S. I LOVE your new blog banner. Did you take the photo? It is lovely!

Yes, this is a photo I took. Imagine how surprised I was to create this personal header.
What days are good for you? We must get together.

Deb, Sounds like you are having such a "wonderful life". When are you guys moving back to the Atlanta area? What are the plans for the next year?

A Peak at 2010 for Fellow Taureans

Year 2010 Overview Taurus always gets tagged with things like "pleasure-seeking" and "materialistic." That's probably unfair, in most cases. You're just as good at dishing out the pleasure as you are at seeking it, and who doesn't like a few nice things around? Sadly, there's been just too much struggle in your life the last couple of years when it comes to those two very important parts of your life. Thankfully, 2010 marks the end of that long uphill struggle . Your pleasurable pursuits have been a little more restricted than you'd like over the course of the last two years or so. That's over with now, so ... game on! The big events this year will not so much be a matter of major happenings as they will be things that have been in the works and are slowly revealing themselves . In the last two years, you've put a lot of work into what makes you happy, while Saturn transited your solar Fifth House. Now that those pressures are finally bei

It is April of  2019. The year that marks my 65th trip around the sun.  Somehow, I always knew that I would make this landmark. There was never a doubt in my mind. The first 65 years have been trouble free. Moderate medical issues. One simple surgery in 2017.  This year will also mark 47 years of marriage to one man. Give me a standing O now, please! It’s incredible to recognize that I’ve know this man for almost 50 years. I don’t regret one single day. Not one.  Sure, there have been times that were filled with questions and struggles. But there have been so many more days that we’re fun filled, raising our two perfect children, living the life of suburbia, two working parents doing their best. Usually, I like to make a big deal about my birthdays. Especially after the surprise party when I was seven years old.  See, my parents were getting divorced at the time of my 7th birthday, Enter my Uncle Frank and Aunt Evelyn to the rescue.  Major distraction to get me out of

Christmas in July Give A Way

What better way to celebrate the middle of summer with a give a way for one lucky blogging friend? Just because I want to, I will be giving away a Christmas box with an accordion album. This happens to be my design and I have already given one away last December. Sorry, Kate , you will have to sit this one out! This paper mache box holds an accordion album inside. More than likely, I will make a minor modification to the box before shipping it to its new home. I really love these vintage papers from Melissa Frances Scrapbook . Her collection of designs and patterns reminds me of a little sea side cottage. I can smell the ocean spray right now. These papers bring me back to a time when I think I would have loved to live…The Victorian Age. But let’s not fool anyone, I want all of the modern day luxuries. This paper on the left takes me back to a time when I played with cut outs. I was never a doll kid, but give me cut outs and I was happy for days. S o if you think you would
