Week end wrap up

 I was blessed to be off for the weekend on Saturday and Sunday. I wasn't due back till noon Monday so it felt like a two and a half day vacation. In my usual style I crammed every moment full of fun. It started out Saturday with me and my daughter doing a little shopping....ALL BY OURSELF! Usually, Shelby is with us but she went to a friends so we had some well needed mother-daughter time. On a stop at Sam's Club, I picked up a cool new shirt for all the upcoming Halloween festivities.

I picked up a pack of little coconut cookies a friend told me about. They are so good. This jar I had was just the right size. 

My sister surprised me by coming to town for her birthday. But the funny thing is that as I gave her the birthday gifts I had gotten her, she gave me a bag of goodies she bought to me. She got me this book that I'm getting ready to read. It looks really good. It's a series of cute mysteries that take place in the same town.

She also brought me this little sign which I loved.

But she really thrilled me with my peppermint Pyrex bowl I was planning on getting. Can't wait to use it.

After she stopped by and we exchanged gifts, we went to my little grandson Colby's football game. He is little #3. He's small but he packs a punch at these games. Runs like the wind, has a throwing arm that hit its aim every time and jumps right in to tackle the other team no matter what size they are. He's the team quarterback and I just love watching him play.

That's him on the left. They ended the season with only one loss. It's on to the playoffs with a trip to their age group Super Bowl a big possibility.

After the game, we went out to eat for Rachel's birthday. Of course we had to have a picture of the two of us. I think this is one of my fave pics ever.

Got to get some Mamaw time with Alexis......

And some with Colby.

And some with Caleb. Caleb turned 15 this year and they just don't spend as much time with Mamaw as they get older. So I was thrilled when he came in and chose to sit with me. 

My whole family was there except Garret who had to work and Shelby who had a sleepover at a friends. We missed them but we did have a great time.

Rachel went back home Sunday so me and my friend Sherrie made a trip to McKay's. I was able to get the next 7 books in my Fool's Gold series I've been reading. 

And I picked up a book with a Christmas story to read in December.

After that we stopped at Walmart and I picked up a few more Christmas presents so I can get a jump start. I've got five stashed away right now for various people. Obviously, I can't show you what I got or say who they are for.

On the way to work Monday, I stopped at our new Dollar General and picked up a few things with Christmas plaid. I love the joy sign because it has three of my favorite words on it.

Then I went to work. Had a great day and got a lot accomplished. It's shaping up to be a good week with trunk or treat at our church this Saturday which I will be able to attend because of the way my work schedule ended up. Hope you have a good week.
