Unusually Busy

Well my Friday started off my winning weekend by winning a prize from Our Best Bites!!
Kate and Sara have a wonderful food blog that I love and have cooked many things from their recipes. You've just got to check them out. It was their blog Anniversary and they were giving prizes to celebrate! And they drew my name, and I won!!

And this is what I got!

A 25.00 gift card from

Williams and Sonoma!!

Whoo hoo! I can't wait to spend it.

I'll let y'all know what I got.

Thanks again Kate and Sara



Harry and I left town around noon and this was our first stop in Jacksonville, FL. I took my sewing machine for a tune up. We were able to pick it back up on the way home Saturday. I can't believe that it sews like it's a brand new machine and it's 33 years old. It's only had 3 tune ups in all those years. It's a 'White', and the company is no longer in business. Shame.


We hit Orlando traffic right around 5:00.

Awful!


But a short visit here was worth it all.

Soon as we were thru in Ikea, Trav and Jordan met us in the parking lot and then followed us

here to eat supper.

Good food and good company.

After eating we went to our rooms
for a great nights sleep.


Yes! we had one of these for breakfast!
Poor Harry didn't get one.

Got to do a session with Trav and Jordan.

They were celebrating their 3

wedding anniversary and

1st Temple anniversary.

Wonderful!

Just miss seeing you, Papa.

Got some lunch here as we headed
back home, again, delicious!

Incountered more of this


because of this.


Saw lots of these groups.

And all I needed was a Hog and a black leather vest and I would have joined them. It was an awesome day in Florida. Not a cloud in the sky and 79* You don't have to wear a helmet in Florida and I'd say about half didn't have one on. Hair flying in the wind. Oh well...

But it didn't make for much fun driving on I-4 and onto I-95.



After picking up my sewing machine we got to the other side of Jacksonville and stopped here for a few things.

Spent to much money.

We got home around 7:30 and look what showed up 10 minutes later!

These little munchkins!

They missed us or maybe we missed them and they came to stay the night with us.

They slept really good due to the fact that they had been to the Jax Zoo with mama and Captain all day.

I sure felt the fact that we changed to daylight savings time!

ugh...

But we did get to church on time.

Needless to day I didn't do much of anything yesterday afternoon. Well, I did bake two loafs of wheat bread but that was about it.

Hope you had a slower paced but fun weekend.

You had a very lovely and busy weekend! I bet the ultimate tooper was the 2 little munchkins showing up = ) I've been thinking about replacing my sewing machine, I'm kind of getting the sewing bug, but before I spend the money I need to see if I'll have a job after this week.

We had a wonderful weekend, the girls and I flew kites yesterday!

Well, I bet you can get a replacement scraper now! William & Sonoma was my thought when you posted about your broken one, but I thought the shipping may be too much! But, now you have the gift card!

You Rock Honey !!! What a weekend!!
Go while you both are still able.

I'm glad that Jordan and Trav wanted to go to them temple, made me feel good to read that. Sorry I missed that, I wasn't scheduled but I had been the last 3 weeks. I'll be there this Saturday.

Those cinnomon rolls at Holiday Express made my mouth water, like I said before, they are sinfully delicious.
Love,
Papa

Let me just say....WOW! What a crazy busy weekend. Congrats on winning the gift certificate from WS. I love that store. It's a good thing there aren't any close to me. - That's some outrageous traffic. I have to admit, I was out on my scooter this weekend too. It was gorgeous here. Almost 80 both days. -- Those Munchkins are adorable. Blessings, Susan
