Finally Friday!

Waiting not so patiently for my friend Harriet to arrive so that we can head out for the country home in Yazoo county! A beautiful place, peaceful and far away from distractions of day to day existence! Harriet needs this away time even more than me! I had a fabulous massage today, thoroughly enjoyable....and I AM WORTH IT!!!! I have started trying to do something just for me at least every two weeks, not $$ but just a luxury, last week I had a spa pedicure and manicure, also very enjoyable, and not two weeks apart, yea me! I must get down to crafting when I arrive back tomorrow afternoon, but I will think about that....tomorrow! Have a great Friday evening, the weather is very Fall-ish here, and gas is $2.16 who would have believed it!

"It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood"

Whew! I had agreed to work til 7 tonight which would have given me two 12's in a row, but as luck would have it and ALOT of prayer, I got to leave at 3. My dogs were so happy to see me! Mallory is working til 7, Gary is playing in a tournament and then a softball game, so it's just me and I LOVE being at home. Trying to figure out what to fix for dinner. Lovely weather AND gas is $2.42 in Byram....a beautiful day in the neighborhood INDEED!!!!

Breast Cancer walk

Saturday I participated in the walk for breast cancer. It was at the Ag Museum, I never dreamed there would be so many walkers. It was a 3 mile walk, although if you factor all the other walking in, it was more like 4.5. Parking was a nightmare as there were three other events going on in the same close area. CRAZY, but the weather was absolutely perfect, and had a really good time. Cancer touches so many lives that we all come in contact with.
Had a date with my handsome husband, we met some friends at Macaroni Grill. Yummy food and excellent conversation.

Church today was great, Lauren sang a solo with the choir, that brought people to their feet when it was over....makes a mother sooooo PROUD. She has a gift, and I am grateful she is using it. Have a most wonderful week my friends! A thought from today's sermon....we choose our attitude, as we think- so we are....choose to make it a great week!

About Me

My photo
I have wanted to be someone's Sweetie Pie since I found out that a young friend of mine's grandson called her Sweetie Pie. He shortened it to Sweetie. I first tried it out with my nephew Hunter. He played along until he outgrew it, but over the years, I have adopted in my heart many friends' children who know me by "Pie". I love it! Before long I will have new "grands" one from each of our daughters, roughly 45 days apart. January 30-Mallory, and April 18-Lauren. Very exciting!!
