Marcy and Scott

We had a busy weekend. I really didn't want to go back to work this morning. But, I did it anyway.

Friday night we had a small group party at Andy's house, which was a lot of fun. We all made our own pizzas and talked and the guys played Wii while the ladies congregated in the kitchen and checked out all the gadgets that Judy had stocked Andy's kitchen with. :)

Saturday we went to see Meme. She has gotten over her pneumonia and her stomach seems to be doing much better, but apparently the pneumonia has left some lasting marks because they have her on oxygen all the time now. So, this limits her mobility. My great great aunt Annie Lou is also in the same nursing home now, so I visited with her as well. Annie Lou has dementia, which is what my great grandmother had, but not as bad as my great grandmother. I think Meme has it too, somewhat, but not like Annie Lou. But, Annie Lou can still answer questions and stuff like that. After we visited with Meme and Annie Lou, we stopped by my dad's house for a few minutes to visit. No pictures there.

After that, we met my friend Lisa and her husband Lee for dinner in Hiram. Lisa and I have been good friends since the 6th grade. We used to show up at school wearing the exact same outfit. We unknowingly purchased the exact same wedding dress. We both started dating the men that we ended up marrying within a few months of each other. Lisa and I are close friends. We do not see or talk to each other as much as I would like, but I know that she will always be there for me and I will definitely always be there for her. We enjoyed catching up with Lisa and Lee. Lisa is about to start her doctorate and Lee is going to school while working at Home Depot. Lee is going to be a History teacher. Lisa is a high school math teacher.

Scott has decided that he wants a Wii. Actually, he has wanted one for a LONG time and I have been pretty hesitant (well, I've refused) to have one in the house. I thought the idea would wear off, but it hasn't. So, we bought him a Wii. Everywhere we went this weekend, we looked for them and no one had them. Scott went to about 5 places at lunch today and I called a couple of places this morning close to my office. The last place Scott went at lunch had them. So, Scott's in the living room playing Wii (sounds like Wii Baseball) and I am in the office blogging. We are such a high tech family, let me tell you. This is a very early birthday present for Scott. His birthday is Nov. 25, but that's so close to Christmas...so we usually buy his birthday gift in the middle of the year. At least he is using his gift. I got a sewing machine and sewing table two years ago for my birthday and I have only sewed one thing on it...I need to get to work! (Now it looks like he's switched to Wii golf...) Yes, that second picture is of Scott playing his Wii while talking on the phone. Such a multi-tasker!

Oh! I wanted to do an update on my garden. Nothing I planted up the side of the house is doing all that great. It looks like maybe the lantana around the air conditioner aren't getting enough sun and the hostas up and down both sides of the house are getting too much sun. So sad. I didn't realize how sunny it got over there. But, everything up front is doing great, especially my calla lilies! I went out this evening and made a bouquet out of them and a few other flowers that I have growing. My canna lily is about to bloom too. We also have tomatoes ripening in the back yard. They are small, but pretty tasty!

Just a disclaimer on this post: I can't get a title into the title area, so maybe I will try tomorrow. Also, I don't know why some of my formatting is messed up...but I can't correct it...so sorry. I hope it isn't too distracting!
