Good Intentions

I had all intentions of making this blog presentable and then life took over and on my "to-do" list it kept getting pushed to the bottom. I'm not making any promises but one day this week I am going to sit down and get it done!

I have a younger brother and he and his wife have three wonderful daughters!!! He still lives in my hometown which is about an hour away, so on Thursday the girls were out of school (because of RAIN- and lots of it) and I needed a niece "fix" so I drove down to visit. My nieces are so much fun and they are such ladies, their ages are 12, 9 and 3. We played everything from Wii to baby dolls and had a wonderful visit.

While I was at my brother's I got a phone call from one of my Mom's best friends inviting me to join them for dinner. These 6 ladies have been bff's since they were in the first grade and they call themselves the "Sisters". They try to go on at least one vacation together each year and during holidays when they are all in town they get together to catch up on life. I was so grateful that they invited me, since my Mom was the first of the "Sisters" to pass away. These 5 ladies have been my prayer warriors and my shoulders to cry on this past year. My Mother was so fortunate to have such a wonderful group of friends!!!! The visit with the "Sisters" was so bittersweet, I cried the whole hour home. . . I MISS MY MOM SO MUCH!!!

Yesterday was ML's Birthday and I cooked his favorite meal or Roast Beef with potatoes and carrots, broccolli, and cornbread. We didn't really do anything special but spend the day together.

I will upload pictures of my weekend events as soon as I figure out how to do it. Remember I am new at this!!!!
