Girlie Weekend, and my buds

I had a great weekend!  Kevin got called into work on Saturday, so he lost part of his weekend.  That stinks.  At least he had Sunday, and both evenings for sleeping and watching whatever HE wanted to, on TV. 

We got to Carthage around 7:30, and settled in to relax.  Saturday found us girls lazing around, with Monica and Natalie playing Phase 10 with Grammy.  Jonathan was there, with his girlfriend Ashley, and it was great to catch up with them.  In the afternoon, we got our hair cut, then went to the local bowling alley.  Yeah, don't ask.  83 was my BEST game, and the other was barely half that.  LOL  My best game was played with a house ball that had big ol' chunks missing.  We called it "Ol' Lumpy" and it served me just fine.

Saturday evening, I went to a friends house for a gathering of all my old runnin' buddies.  When you move far away, it could be for the best of reasons, but I'm the type to hang on to GOOD friends, and these are some GOOD friends!  I cried, they cried, we cried.  Sappy, huh?  It made my body literally hurt to walk out that door, with them all begging me to stay just a little longer.  What an incredible group of people.  I miss you guys.

Sunday was lazy for me.  The girls went with Linda to church, since it was her turn to set up and clean up the communion.  It involves a LOT of dishes, and they didn't get home until after 1:00.  I read some silly murder mystery the whole time.  Around 3:30, we headed home, and got here by 6:10.  It was a long and silly trip, with the girls getting truckers to honk, and making silly faces while waving at other motorists.  They had a ball.

I'm home, we're all safe and happy, and I have a new injury to the hole in my heart.  The one created when I moved up here from Carthage.  I'm not sorry I moved, I'm just sorry I don't see them more often.  I hope this new plan changes that.
