Halloween

Gee and I decided to go out to eat this Halloween. We live in a neighborhood where very few children trick or treat so I usually end up eating all the candy. Which is not good - especially since I am trying to eat healthier! Anyway - so we went to Flannagan's in Thibodeaux and then walked around Sam's. Not an especially exciting Halloween but it was nice.

Last weekend was a lot of fun. Kristin was a beautiful bride - and it was fun staying downtown in the Historic French Quarter Inn! The next day Gee and I had breakfast at Camilla Grill and shopped on Magazine Street, then a picnic lunch of roast beef sandwiches, stuffed artichoke and root beer.

Sunday my GRITS friends and I gave a shower for one of the groups daughters. We had yummy food and Jack Daniels punch. We had the most fun sitting around visiting after the shower. We used to all work together but now - some are retired and the rest of us are at different schools.

My job this year had been great. I supervise two therapists who have 12 classes of 4 year olds between them. They are so cute! I am also having a little success with one of my autistic students so that is rewarding. Anyway - since I have 2 to 5 years to work I'm glad I still like it.

I WON!!!

OK - so I messed up trying to post a minute ago - oh well! Anyway when Gee and I were at the Dularge fair we bought tickets for a raffle and won 1st and 3rd place - two beautiful quilts!!! One is queen size - purples and green - and one is a baby quilt! Now I have a quilt - just like each one of my children! That was quite a suprise.

I WON!!!

Tailgating

Gee and I tailgated for the Rummel game which was played at Nicholls State in Thibodeaux on Friday night. Lots of friends and family were there. I had only been to one Rummel game previously - I even had to ask Gee what color to wear! Gee cooked a jambalaya and Dave barbequed ribs - yum!
We were supposed to tailgate at the LSU/Auburn game the next day but we decided to stay home instead. Gee worked on the vet and I did some outdoor chores - great cool weather. Daddy called and invited us to eat fish that he had caught that day so we visited with them and had supper. Then - the game - and the tigers didn't disappoint!!!
Today we went to church - the Dularge fair where we had wonderful gumbo - and visited with friends. We went in the vet - which is fun - but I have to figure out what to do with my hair so I won't have so many tangles.
So - that was our weekend - back to work tomorrow and then Kristin's wedding Friday night!

Nice weekend

It was so nice to have Britt home for the weekend. We had lots of family time and girl time. The game was fun until the end - tigers are still the best! Today I cooked lots of yummy foods - a mini Thanksgiving dinner - and packed up the leftovers for Britt, Zac, and Jimmy. Jimmy came to eat with us - that was nice. Next weekend Rummel tailgating, Death Valley tailgating and the next Kristin's wedding. Lots to look forward to!

Thanks Britt for setting me up with a blog!
