Monday's Weekend Update....

I don't have pictures from any day over the weekend so all I can do is write about what entailed and share some older photos, perhaps.

Thursday, after work, Joe and I got haircuts at Reflections of Excellence. We have been going to Teena for years and years. Love her and her family.  Her dad was a barber there before he retired and her oldest son has followed in her footsteps and works there. This picture was taken in June...

On Friday morning, I met my friend, Shirley, at Fred's Market for breakfast.  Cindee was supposed to come too, but she begged off.  She and her hubby just bought a new house and they are in the middle of moving - going back and forth and she had three errands to run that morning.  Shirley and I ate and talked for over an hour so we had a nice time catching up.  We both got the blue plate special.  One trip to the buffet and always enough.

Friday was also the second anniversary of our moving to Mas Verde and our new home here. We still love it!!  Joe and I went grocery shopping. Blah, blah, blah.  LOL

I had to work on Saturday morning and we were busy.  Makes the time go faster. I did laundry on Saturday afternoon.

We went to church Sunday morning and neither of us coughed while there!  Whoohoo!  It felt good to be back, worshiping with other believers!

Grandson Tristan called us from Texas Sunday afternoon! We get texts but rarely a call.  He told us that he is applying for a job in Orlando so, of course, we are hoping it comes through for him!!  I think there might be a girl involved in the decision.  He told us she is in Tampa. That puts Lakeland smack dab in the middle!! He has been offered a job with Lockheed Martin in Texas but is trying to get them to put him in Orlando.  He also told us that he won an award for the top student in Economics.  He graduates from SMU in May.

We had Helen and Cheryl over for lunch after church. I made beef stew in the crockpot, deviled eggs, and strawberry shortcake.  We were all satisfied!  Sunday evening, Al and Theresa stopped by.  Al (still works at the Museum) told us about this year's Gala, which was Saturday night.  My longer-time friends here will remember me posting about The Gala in years past. It is a premier black-tie formal dinner, dance, and auction fund-raiser for the Museum (where I worked for 20+ years).  Joe and I got to go and sit with the guests and have a delicious dinner before I had to work helping to close out the auction purchases.  I do miss being there because it was always a fun time to be part of.  I stopped myself going there Saturday afternoon, just to peak in at the decorations.  The auction is online now and I put a bid in on a couple of things and got them both!  Didn't expect to get one and got both. They have already hit the bank account so I need to go by and pick things up this week.  It was fun to at least bid on the auction. One was a gift card for our favorite Palance Pizza and the other is a breakfast basket with Champaign and utensils and pancake/waffle mixes.  Here are some photos from previous Galas.

I am at work this morning.  Joe has pre-admission at the hospital tomorrow afternoon and his catheterization is Wednesday.  Your prayers are always appreciated!  And speaking of prayer requests, my youngest sister, Tammy's husband, Bruce, had a mild heart attack and they think also a mini-stroke early yesterday morning.  He is in the hospital, in Tifton, Georgia.  We are waiting to hear the results of his MRI   Many of you know that Bruce suffered a major brain-bleed stroke three years ago.  He is still recovering from that and this set-back breaks my heart.  Hoping he will bounce back from this.

Thanks for your visit! Wishing you a good week ahead!

Peace & hugs!  God bless!!
