What I've Been Up To

Last week was a busy week. I always heard that things would slow down once the kids left home. Ha! I guess we just trade one kind of busy for another. And to be honest, I don't think I'm that busy, I just think aging has something to do with my perspective. Either way, our days are full, but I consider that to be a blessing. 

Last weekend, Feb 4, I took a roadtrip - just for one night - 4 hours to spend a little bit of time with this precious little nugget and her parents:

I came back Saturday evening and spent Sunday with DH, tax paperwork, and the Olympics. I'm not a binge-watcher, but that changes when it comes to the Olympics. I'm a huge fan.

We had a very short run at the Sale Barn on Monday - just over 300 hd - only 2 1/2hrs , so I penciled in a lot of errands and by the time I sat down at 7 that evening, I was tired. I laughed and told DH it was ridiculous to be so tired after a short 2 1/2 hr work day. 

Tuesday had us back in town for a couple of appointments and then back home for feed runs and some time proof reading a banquet program.

6 hr roundtrip to Lubbock on Wednesday with a stop at HEB for some groceries. As I snapped this shot - DH laughed at me taking a picture of the cheese wall


He chuckled as he commented: "This is not a tourist destination."

My reply, "Well, it kind of is!"

And then speaking with a friend later in the week - I shared the fact that I took a picture of the cheese wall and DH's comment. She interrupted, "Well, it kind of IS!" Exact same words. Ha! Vindication. LOL.

Thursday - HOME! Yay! Although it was spent scrambling and making unexpected arrangements, multiple phone calls, and lots of emails and texts. Keeping it under my hat for the moment, but I'm not used to such frenzied activity and it wore me out.

Friday - spent all morning in town setting up for the Annual Safari Fundraiser Banquet and then working during the actual banquet. 

DH is in charge of the membership booth and I was his assistant on Friday. 

Saturday - back in town by noon for the 2nd evening of the banquet. 

I man the draw down booth on Saturday - we sell 500 tickets and every 5th ticket drawn receives a door prize. The last 4 tickets are hunts.

Sunday - recuperation day. 🥱 

I'll be back at the Sale Barn today - a longer day today, but plans to revert back to hermit mode will be implemented immediately afterwards.

What a clever flower arrangement. Would make a great arrangement for the lady and also a bow hunter for Valentine's Day.

Oh, I bet you could just eat her up. I love those chunky legs (bet her arms are chunky too)! This age goes so quickly. Glad you could get away to enjoy her. I have never seen a cheese wall like that. I have a favorite cheese that is hard to find (Red Dragon) and I bet they have it!

I think the cheese sections in regular grocery stores have improved enormously! Thought of you this morning, the weatherman said there would be rain in New Mexico later this week...maybe in your area too!
