Lunch at the lake, wedding errands,

Not to much to write about this week. We've been busy daily but it's mostly helping Brandi with the wedding by doing some running around for her. I have to give my husband credit. Monday we left here at 8:30am and didn't get home until after 1pm. Five stores and not one complaint. What a guy, than we went back out the next day and hit three more. Told Brandi she owes daddy a big big hug.

Larry did get one of "his" projects done. Had another basement window that he wanted to replace with bricks and four glass blocks. Only two more to do.

We took Brandi and family up to a restaurant in the little village called Mulliken the other night. This has been a family owned business for as long as I can remember where the food is simple but just like the saying "taste just like grandma's". One of those places you see when your traveling, normally sitting on a four corner lot with maybe a mom and pop grocery store beside it. And you just know that this is where all the locals eat and everyone knows everyone. That's pretty much this place. My father use to go there every morning for his bacon and eggs as my brother now does, to discuss the plight of the crops, how the market is doing and who just purchased that newest combine. Each man has his own chair at the big long table and heaven help anyone sitting in their spot. But than who else but the local farmers arrive at 6AM, sometimes even before the cafe is officially open, so they just walk in the back door thru the kitchen and grab their coffee on the way to the table. Brandi put on her Facebook that night about going there and it was fun reading comments from her friends about this place. So to get back to taking the kids up there, we are having Rob cater the wedding for us and it would be nice to have Darrell (future son in law) at least taste the food before hand. Luckily he enjoyed his meal.

Today we went up to my sisters cottage to have lunch with our niece and nephew who are visiting with their kids from Albq NM. Quinn who is 12 so wanted us to bring Pepper as she is a total animal lover. We don't normally take her along when we plan on staying for longer than a few minutes and never when we've been invited for lunch. But Quinn and Pepper had a great time and here's a couple of pictures to share.

Here's Quinn and Pepper checking out the water
Quinn went in and didn't take long for Pepper to follow
Especially since she had Peppers ball

Darrius had a two day football camp this weekend and Brandi posted this picture on FB

What better way to cool off a 100 kids at the end of camp day

Darrius is so excited about football season, (community sponsored event) as he finally gets to play tackle football.

So that's about it for this week. Seems like next week will be full with helping Renee' with last minute things for the bridal shower on that Sunday. Anissa needs a ride to work a couple of mornings, of course Darrius on Tues/Wed and Thursday afternoon a vet appointment for pepper's shots and heart worm test.

So until next time.................................
