Never did I call my father Bob until Julia began as soon as she could utter the words...Now she calls him Bob, Bobbie and Oh Bobbiee. He always answers quickly and plays so well with her. It was a lot of fun having him come up to play.
Thursday, we had a fish fry. Yumm, Crappie, with The Whites. Great times!
On Friday, we went up to Tipton Co. to do some genealogy research (our newest obsession). We met with some distant relatives of Williams and explored a few cemeteries. That night we had the rare opportunity to go out seeing as our chief babysitter was in town. We met up with Jen and Brian for Brian's Birthday Bash at Happy Mexican. Then on to Flying Saucer to see if Brian would drink #200 and get his plate on the wall--boy, I am getting too beyond g able to handle all the smoke in bars (I almost needed an oxygen mask).
Saturday, Bob got the fever. Not the one going around with the flu, but "Yard Sale" fever! Yip, the look on his face and the confidence in his walk as he carried his antique leather Mexican chair back to the Tahoe ("only, fifteen bucks, can you believe that" he said with pride)...oh, he's hooked! Not as if William is not already hooked enough, he got a hot tub for a dollar! Unbelievable yet true. Spa party here next weekend--and I don't mean Arbonne!! We just had to get it home, so the U-haul trailer we rented made the hot tub cost a grand total of $36 and a bit of elbow grease to clean 'er up.
My version of 7up cake --it was tasty.

Hot tub for a dollar??? Freakin' awesome!
Glad to see Julia likes her dress-up clothes. Kenzie hasn't mentioned them since she saw them being transfered to your car. :)
We had so much fun! Lydia is very sorry about all the "mine Mine Mine" business! PS that pic of your dad on the little chair with the guitar is PRICELESS!
Loved the pictures! Sounds like you all had a great weekend.
What a steal on the hot tub! It is funny to hear about guys being hooked on yard sales.
When's the party? I'll bring my Arbonne catalog just in case we need it!
Love your blog! The Saucer? I don't even remember being there! ;-)
