Friday

Well, the week if finally over. It was hectic at work and I'm glad it's done. It seems the car thieves were very busy over the 4th. Tommy had a busy week too covering his territory and the territory of a co-worker on vacation.

We had dinner tonight with Momma and Daddy. Spur of the moment thing that turned out to be very fun. Found out they don't look at my blog but only read the messages that are sent to them. I told them to start clicking at the bottom of the e-mail page because I sometimes put photos there that the e-mails don't capture.

Roxie stayed home tonight. She was tired from barking at the men working on a new house 3 down from us. They quit about 6:00 so now she can rest her voice for another round of barking tomorrow.

All the Washington family is gathering this weekend for a cousin's wedding. I give a shout out to them and hope they all have a great time together this weekend. Sorry the Texas Branch of the Berg family can't be there.

Thursday

Getting ready for New Braunfels trip. In one week the Wistner clan will be tubing the Comal. I ordered a waterproof cover for my digital camera today. Hopefully, it will get here in time to use it on the trip. I hope to get some nice action shots, but I think that will take water and there isn't much of that there right now. Only my family would plan a river floating vacation together during the year of the worst drought in history.

On a happier note, next week will be a short work week for us :) And the most important thing is that we're doing it together. I'm sure we'll all have a good time no matter what the water level is like.

Roxie will be staying with her Uncle Mark and Aunt Stephanie while we're gone. She can't wait to play with Jake and Bailey. I think she's secretly more excited about hanging around under Jake's chair at dinner time, but we don't want Bailey to hear that!

Yikes! New Bikes!

We got new bikes last week. I promptly went out and bought a Barbie bell for my handlebars, spoke sparklers and a bright Barbie pink basket to go on the front. Tommy made me promise not to ring the bell while I'm riding with him. I can't help it, it's too cute. The neighbors all love it. (I think they could be secretly jealous)

My bike as the big grandma seat for my big grandma seat! It's comfortable and doesn't hurt my butt or back when I ride like the old bike did. Tommy got an upgrade as well. He got a taller bike to fit his tall frame. I guess all these years he's been riding a bike too short for him.

Our neighborhood is perfect for riding and we've done that almost every afternoon. Maybe we'll see you around...

A New Week

Okay, we're back from Dallas and very tired. I swear they moved Dallas. It seemed like we were 10 miles from the darn Oklahoma border by the time we stopped. But, it was a very relaxing time. Lots of food and drinks :)

I hated to go to work today. I was so bummed I went and got a pedicure during my lunch hour instead of going to the grocery store to restock our empty fridge. Hello Hamburger Helper for dinner tonight!

Roxie had a great time at the beach. Granny and Pawpaw treated her well. She still won't eat her food because when she stays with them they put "treats" on it to get her to eat. Every time she comes home from staying with them we have a 2 day hunger strike. (But we win, she gives in by day 2)

Thank goodness for the short week this week!!!!

Happy 4th of July weekend for everyone.

Tommy and Angela are headed to Ponder, Texas for a 4th of July party. We'll be staying with some friend's parents and it should be a good time. Roxie is headed to the beach with Granny and PawPaw. Amy and Matt rented a cabin down there and Mom and Dad had already committed to keeping her, so she's packing up and her and Max are headed to the beach.
