Weekend Frolics

As usual we had a weekend packed with activities, but this time they started on Thursday-

traditional birthday celebration, at Rancho Grande-
the usual suspects in attendance, and we stayed much too late to compete in the team trivia- Team "Sheffield of Dreams" came in second place! yea! lots of fun





and I got some cool birthday goodies from the in-laws. Used the bowl, from Karen's crew on Friday, and have some ideas for using the card at Knitch, from the Rogovins. The spoon, love it! note cards and note pads from Polly and Roy--one can never have too much to write on-THANK YOU ALL!!!




Was able to get caught up with Katie and see some of her photos from her wonderful Grand Tour of Europe! Totally admired Mary's (nearly finished) sock- cotton with a bit of elastic- it was worthy of a photo, another lost photo op-loved it!





Karen and Ron, Megan (in from the UK) and Jillian. Sara, Mary, and Paula, Steve and my boys were also there just not in the photo!





Friday-
Mr. K and Doreen got me a yummy chocolate chocolate and more chocolate cake.


Balloon has sports stuff on it cause I got the boys! I thought was very cool

Friday night we had a 3 couples from church for a cook out, burgers and chicken on the grill, pasta salad, potato salad (Iowa style?), and Italian cream cake from Gabrielle's bakery (yumm!). No photos but the food was fab. We had a wonderful time with the Curtis', Campbell's and Jones'.

Saturday- well- I thought I didn't have much to do, but wound up by going to--

Michaels, Wachovia, Kohl's, Target, Home Depot, Barb's (pick up framing), Publix, dropping the Alero off at Goodyear (must be a serious repair job- they still have it!). Back home, cooking --meatloaf, scallop chowder, mashed potatoes, and slicing cheese (for Mom's evening plans). All in prep for dinner this coming week.

Saturday afternoon- spent about 4 hours at the clubhouse and pool for the 3rd annual "Welcome to the Neighborhood" party, gobs of fun chatting with neighbors, although it was way too hot, started to cool off after about 7:30. Thinking next year, maybe START the party at 7 instead of 4.

Looking forward to doing tons of knitting tomorrow (I hope), and getting the boys ready for school on Monday- and of course, a birthday blob posting.
