Fun Weekend Part II

Sorry it's taken so long, but it's been a long, busy, headache filled week.....
As I mentioned, my parents came down for Halloween and my birthday. We had the BEST time! On Saturday my mom and I went to my neighborhood's Needlework Group meeting at a local coffee shop. I usually go and sometimes crochet, but I usually just visit. The group is filled with WONDERFUL, christian ladies that I love, and look up to! My mom was able to meet all of them, watch them knit, and enjoy some good coffee.

The next agenda for the day was the neighborhood fall festival. We had a golf cart parade scheduled, a dessert auction, and a cookout planned. Someway, somehow, Dad got suckered into being the auctioneer for the dessert auction. He did a GREAT job and raised over $200 for our committee! For those of you that know my dad, you can only imagine how funny he was - he managed to have grown men arguing over a red velvet cake.

Mom and I - I somehow ended up with two cupcakes from the auction.

The last part of the weekend was to celebrate my birthday. John and Dad cooked some great steaks and we had the good old salad and potatoes to go with them. Then I had a ....get ready for this: DOUBLE DOOZIE cookie cake! It was SO good! Afterwards I got to open my presents. Mom and Dad had the collage of granddaddy that is in the Auburn Athletic Museum framed. I was SO excited because I've wanted one of my own for some time now. (I'll post more about this later) We have it hung and I love looking at! I'm so proud of granddaddy! John went above and beyond - he is building (almost finished) me a bench for my kitchen. It is about 8 ft long, and will allow for seating, but will have storage baskets underneath. He also got me a massage package from a local spa. I can't wait to use it!

All in all we had a great weekend. I love it when my parents come and I can't wait until they come again!
