TGIF

We are going out to dinner for Gong Gong and my birthdays tomorrow night, and Kevin & Rachel are driving up for the weekend! GG & PP are so busy at their new place that we are lucky to get an evening of their time tomorrow! Danny is racing in Oklahoma this weekend; hopefully that "cold front" will kick in. Mr. Fix-it has been busy installing a new ceiling fan to replace the one that broke in the guest room, helping a friend with his son's dirt bike, it's always something! I am so lucky to be married to such a wonderfully handy man. And a handsome one, too.

Weekend at Barbara's

I'm too sleepy to write more than a line or two, but had a WONDERFUL weekend with my dear friend, Barbara, and her husband Gary, in East Texas! It felt like a fun time at a bed & breakfast, with good friends and a few friendly pets, too.

Rain!

We're finally getting a little more rain this morning! Quick updates - Andrew is planning to ride his bike for some fun & exercise this weekend while I visit Barbara in East TX. Danny moves into his Denton apartment on Sunday. The Cowboys play tonight in the new stadium! Murr C & I went to see Julie & Julia on Tuesday night - it's a fun chick flick. Gong Gong & Pop Pop are having fun at Franklin Place. She emailed this morning that they had dinner last night there with Bill Mercer and his wife; he was the sports broadcaster who called lots of baseball games, and they loved talking baseball with him. Okay, off to work!

Happy Birthday Danny!

Danny is 19!!!! When I asked what kind of birthday cake he wanted me to make, he said "can you fix ribs instead?" That's my Danny! He didn't inherit my sweet tooth, but he loves to eat everything else. So, I grilled pork ribs, shrimp and sauteed scallops, with asparagus and corn, and he was happy. Fruit tarts with a candles on top were his "birthday cake". Danielle gave him a gift card to the shooting range, which he loved! He also received the favorite gift of a 19-year-old - cash. Hope you have a great 19th year, Danny - you are a blessing!
