Friday Fun

We are so lucky to have lots of get-away places nearby. Mom, Kelly and I were in Gruene for lunch at the Grist Mill on Friday, then we explored the antique store. The Grist Mill overlooks the Guadalupe River and is a wonderful place to have lunch. The food is good too.

We met at my house. Kelly brought Darcy and Banzai and Mom brought Chuy. They played in the backyard while we were gone. Ron had the day off and was doing some woodworking in the garage, so he kept an eye on them.

It was cloudy in the morning, but turned sunny and hot in the afternoon. There are lots of little shops and interesting things to see in Gruene, but since we've been so often and go whenever we like, we didn't try to do too much. Mom gets tired if we walk too much.

On our way home, we stopped at Dollar Tree to get a couple of gift bags, and then at Tuesday Morning. I got some things for the grands for Easter, some lavender soap, and a kit called Hooked On Spanish to teach kids to speak Spanish. It's regularly priced at $40, and I got it for $10. I thought that was a pretty good deal.

By the time we got home, it was after 5 PM, and Kelly and her dogs left for home. I drove Mom and Chuy home around 5:45. Traffic is a bear on Fridays!

We kept Reece and Aubrey this evening while Josh and Cyrise went out for dinner for Valentine's Day (They are wise to go the day before instead of the actual day since restaurants aren't quite as crowded). The kids picked Aubrey up after dinner, but Reece spent the night. :o)

I expect the long weekend will be busy. Reece and I still have to make our valentine cookies and we're going to try to go to story hour at the library Saturday afternoon. Sunday is our wedding anniversary. Ron has made reservations at The Melting Pot for dinner on Monday to celebrate. That should be fun. :o)
