Weekend Wrap-up

Lindsay and I left late Friday afternoon for the Auburn game. We had a mother / daughter outing as all the guys stayed home. We decided to go even with being unsure about what Nate would do. I had put up everything on the back of the house and with the early game start of 11:00, we felt we could make it home if things weren't faring well for our neck of the woods.

We arrived at our cabin basically in time to go to bed, but that was fine. I had no dogs and really no one to see about. I slept wonderfully as I think she did too. We got up on Saturday morning and headed into Auburn to eat breakfast at Byron's which has an amazing breakfast. It seemed everyone had the same idea, but we managed to get in and eat in time for the game.

It was really a fun trip with my girl. Lots of girl talking. This is the last home game until November so definitely glad we went. We only went through 2 rainstorms on the way home and beat any wind, so all good.

I am married to the most wonderful man. He took my mom out to eat and then to the beach on Friday evening. I know she was on cloud 9. They watched the sunset and saw a baby sea turtle.

Mother is gone with my aunt on one of her bus trips. This is good for her and I have to admit me too. It gives me a little break this week to do some things just for me.

I managed to finish my first Nutcracker that I plan to make into ornaments.

Took it with my iPhone tonight so sorry for the shadow.

Gus is 4 months old today and I realized this is the only picture I made of him today. He and Lemony were playing in the bedroom while I was getting dressed this morning for church. Surprisingly, Lemony looked at the camera. She is usually camera shy. And yes, those are shorts the Gus dragged out of the laundry basket. 

Fortunately, Nate stayed far enough west of us that we got mostly rain and no big winds. 

Our dock is extra high and the only one not covered up in the bayou. I can't remember why Jeff had it built that high, but it works for stormy weather. We always pull the boat out even if there is only a slight chance of it coming to us. No chances taken.

It did come up on the grass about 3 feet in. Thankful that it moved quickly and didn't come here. I never can wish them on anyone else, but I always pray for them to be mild and dissapate.

Blessings,

Sandy
