Friday Recap

Quote of the Day: "Why can't we just eat the snot?" ::gag:: ::choke:: ::gag::

Produce Co-op

Stacia "helps" with laundry Mike and I ran down to San Antonio (normally a 3 1/2 hour drive) for the retirement ceremony of a chaplain who used to be Mike's supervisor (2 assignments ago). It was a great ceremony and it was fun to quickly reconnect with Jim and Patty....as well as couples from Church on the Way (which we attended on Wed nights when we lived in San Antonio).

I was really looking forward to this trip. Sounds funny...but it would provide 6 hours of ALONE conversation for Mike and I (yes - surprisingly the trip took no more than 3 hours each way). I also hoped to be able to get some Death By Chocolate. We discussed our favorite spots on the way into town. We'd not had either of them in AK or here in W TX - SIX YEARS! On our way home Mike suggested Marie Calendars. He loves the garlic/artichoke chicken dish there. I'm going to have to try to find the recipe. THEN we headed to Bennigans where we shared this: I DO have this recipe, but have never taken the time to make it. Some things are simply meant to be SPECIAL and not made at home. LOL

The older boys worked varying shifts...Jared held down the fort with the youngers. I ordered pizza to be delivered for them. Cy was home in the evening and they watched movies. He picked Jamin up as we weren't home by the time he got off work.

We made great time...::snort:: and got to chat with a policeman right outside of our town. I could NOT believe that the man simply gave Mike a WARNING for a burned out bulb in Cy's license plate!!!!!!!! I think I'm bitter about this. "What???? Aren't you going to give the man a TICKET?"....if it were Josiah or Me, I KNOW *WE* WOULD HAVE GOTTEN A TICKET FOR SPEEDING. I simply do not think it's fair that I never speed now and *I* get tickets and Mike well....you see how it is. ::snort:: Those of you who know my story of how God cured from my speeding habits are laughing now...the rest of you will have to wonder. ::snort:: My head hurts tonight and I don't have the energy to write the story out.

You do realize that both the snot comment AND the speeding cure referencee will have to be explained one of these days. Right??

Tim never gets tickets either...he always gets off with a warning. I, on the other hand, would get a ticket for going 2mph over the speed limit (which also keeps my speed down).

Sis & Ladies:

I'm with you all. Paul never gets speeding tickets but I have to be real careful. However, if and when I do get tickets I accept it while thinking to myself..... guess I deserve this one because I very seldom get caught. :)

I now drive slower because after one year of HAVING TO drive with Dad in the car there was nothing I could do but drive slower. :)

I want some of that chocolate thing. What in the world is it?!

Debbie said...

Well, in this family, Bri has gotten tickets and I have gotten warnings and most of the time I think I drive faster.

De'Etta, that dessert looks downright sinful...what is it?

LOL! TOO FUNNY! Glad you had a nice long quite drive to visit.
