Unusual Blessings

This weekend was full of blessings and some were unusual. We had a quiet relaxing Friday night at home. We raced each other on Wii Mario Cart and played Yatzee. Saturday we had our usual "breakfast date" and came home and the washing machine needed to be run. We had plans to go over to some friends house for dinner and this is when the unusual weekend started. Don't get me wrong, our friends are NOT unusual just things that happened this weekend are rare gems and don't happen often. First of all, I don't think I have ever seen Mike play Barbie before. We had lots of laughs with Mike about his crown, braclets and hair styling. Sunday morning was normal for the most part and after church we headed up to Grandma's house for lunch and the day. I took Cooper to the back yard and what do you think we saw? A snake! Neither Cooper or the snake scared each other. Here is one picture of Grandma's new pet! (Just Kidding!) You can't beat Grandma's homemade fried chicken, mashed potatoes, carrots and strawberry pie! We then got to watch the Space Shuttle Discovery launch at 7:43pm. We were so impressed that even Cooper enjoyed watching the launch. We went outside and were able to see it live in the sky! I found out that an astronaut, Sandra Magnus, who is living on the International Space Station has a BLOG! However, since yesterday's launch her blog has been overwhelemed and you can't even get on it. I will keep you posted and add her link as soon as it is up and running again.

As you can tell, we had some blessings this weekend and some were unusual. I wonder what next weekend will hold???

One Month Later. . .

I was not part of the blogging world back on Valentine's Day, so I though this month I would highlight what Mike got me for Valentine's Day. He is not a big advocate for Valentine's Day, so we usually don't give extravagant gifts. I gave him two shirts. (Isn't that what every guy wants for Valentine's Day?) This year I was very surprised because I got a diamond for my Add-A-Diamond braclet!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Today was my mom's birthday. She lives in SC and I wish I could celebrate with her. I will get to see her in a few weeks and I do have a special gift waiting for her when she arrives in FL. Happy Birthday, Mom!
