... it's just been crazy-busy here, but I've missed my ladybug pals!


We've had nary a moment of rest it seems for the last few weeks. I am SO ready for a break - and we have one planned! Next weekend we plan on riding the motorcycle to Jefferson TX. Haven't been there in years but they have a neat historic district that I have been wanting to visit again. So, we have B&B reservations and I've already told folks at work that we will NOT be working next Friday!! (we are officially off on Fridays but in actuality it's rare for us to Not work every Friday) 


Last night Katie accidentally head-butted me and boy did it HURT. One of the hazards of having a big dog, I guess. I fully expected to have a black/swollen eye this morning but thankfully there was hardly a mark. Today - of course - we worked. I left early to get my hair cut and colored. Got to have priorities, right? :)  Then met SO for a (very) late lunch, came home and took a nap lol. Now we have to get his hair cut and stuff ready for Army drill this weekend. I have to take the new truck to the dealer (2 hours away) tomorrow for it's first oil change, then plan on spending the rest of the weekend cleaning, cooking, working in the flowerbeds.. you know, all the fun stuff lol.


Hope you all are having good times and sunny days. Hope to get semi-caught up on the board soon (is that possible?) :)

You're gonna have a FUN time in Jefferson.
We go there at least once each year since we only live an hour from there.

Jill welcome back. I had wondered what was up with you. Busy is not good. But glad you are getting some time away. Dh and I are planning a motorcycle trip soon to the Florida Keys. I hope you get time to let us know how it goes.


I hope you find time to make it back here in the garden more often.


(((hugs)) SS

Hey Deb, when I lived in east Texas we were little over an hour from Jefferson and went there several times. Never got to stay in one of those great B&Bs so we're doing that this visit. We'll be going the 'backroad' route through Sarepta and Vivian. Mapquest says 3 hours, but on the bike probably more like 5 since we make frequent stops (got to stretch the legs and un-numb the hiney lol).


SO loves to take pictures so hopefully i'll have a couple of good ones to post! :)

K and Pam, Katie is a Great White Pyreneese and she would happily be a lap dog if we let her lol. We're pretty sure her original people were mean to her, so we take great care not to raise our voices or make any moves she might think are threatening - even when she accidentally head-butts me! She's a sweet, happy girl, very protective of her home, and finally putting on some weight and starting to look like a 'real' Pyreneese instead of a stray!


And now, it's time to finish packing and Hit the Road!!!! Woohooooo!!!


Hope ya'll all have a great weekend, and hopefully when I get back I'll have an update and pictures and make an attempt at finding out what all of you have been up to! :)
