An Afternoon with the Girls...

First thing on our agenda was to go to Colleen's new house. It's almost finished! And they anticipate moving in this coming weekend. Of course, it's hard to tell if that will really happy - but it's really close and I know how excited Colleen & Houston are to get out of their apartment and into their dream home! Stanton, Linda, Cindy, Colleen, Carolyn and I got the "grand tour".

They won't fill the pool until they actually move in. But I can see us spending many hours in the pool and hot tub in the near future. It will be interesting to see how fast they can get it all completed and ready to move in.

After looking at the house, we went to Chili's for lunch. Then it was to the movies at Silverado. We had planned on seeing "the Women", but after a bad review from some friends (I'm not saying it's bad - I'd still like to make that call on my own) we ended up seeing a great flick "Ghost Town". It was funny romantic comedy - with a twist. If you know Linda, you know her famous laugh - let's just say she used it on more than one occasion - so it really had to be funny! We all highly recommend this movie - so if you need a good laugh (but you might need a tissue or two), you will want to see this one for sure - I even think your hubby's will like it as well!

Go Cowboys!!!

Can you tell we are COWBOY fans???

It's true - My daughter and son are both avid fans as well - and Joey, too - Allison is getting there - she is having a hard time giving up the Packers, but we'll get her undivided support sooner or later, I'm sure!

My husband is so excited that it's finally football season again... all weekend it's either golf or football... at least I know where he is... in front of the TV or on the golf course.

Tonight was a great game winning against the Eagles and it felt good to be back in my Barber jersey again... like I said - GO COWBOYS!!! It feels like a SuperBowl season...

GROUNDED...

Well - I was supposed to be in Amarillo this weekend - but Hurrican Ike had different plans for me, and Lynn and Charlie! Bummer. I had been checking all week with the airlines, trying to find out if we would be able to fly to Amarillo for the big reunion. Friday morning when I got my boarding pass - they said all looked fine.

I was excited - it would be fun traveling with my friends from Paramount Baptist Church in Amarillo. We had a great youth group and wonderful memories we were eager to share - just like 'ole times. Charlie and I were leaving from San Antonio and Lynn was meeting up with us in Dallas and we were going to be on the same flight to Amarillo.

50 Years seems like a long time. We wanted to help celebrate the wonderful things God has allowed to evolve over those years. Of course, I was really thinking about all the great things that I experienced - how God came into my life and molded me into the woman I am today. How this church was there for me when I got married - we were the first wedding in the new auditorium in July of 1972. How both my kids grew up in the nursery at PBC - how our Sunday School class supported David and I as we made the move to Ft. Worth for David to attend SWBTS. Those years of my youth and early marriage and the birth of my kids made such a difference in my life.

On the way home, Friday, I got the call - GROUNDED! I couldn't believe it. Our flight was cancelled because of the connection in Dallas! Ike had missed us completely, but was going to cause problems in Dallas.

Disappointed? You bet - but blessed to have been a part of such a fantastic body of believers. Congratulations on 50 years of being a light in the neighborhood. May you shine for many more!

MOVING...

Glory hallelujah! We finally found a great house! After several months of looking and trying to find the right place to buy, we came across this jewel! Yes, it's as great as it looks. Small yard (sorta), very nicely kept. Great floor plan and little nooks and crown molding everywhere! And a neighborhood pool just up the street - that is a real plus for the grandkids!

Mark your calendar - our closing date is set for October 15. Any and all help packing up and moving is welcome! Stanton - start collecting boxes!

More details to follow - just know I am one HAPPY MAMA!
