I hope you had as nice a weekend as we did. Ken and I just kind of lazed the weekend away. We did normal chores and stuff, but we had no firm plans to do anything and resisted making very many. I think we both needed the down time from stuff. I know I did!

I took him to Grits N Groceries for breakfast Saturday morning. He didn’t order anything off the brunch menu — I don’t think he even glanced at it much and thought the waitress was joking with him when she suggested frog legs. He remarked later that “she would have been surprised if I had actually ordered frog legs!” to which I replied “no — they were on the menu, so if you had ordered them, you would have gotten them.” — You should have seen the look on his face 😆

I haven’t had frog legs since I was a teenager and Judy and RB made them. I remember them being pretty good, but then again, I remember squirrel being pretty good too. No sheep’s eyes, though — that was GROSS!

I hope Mama had a good Sunday. I think this was the Sunday she was going to EJ’s church. I’m hoping she had such a good time that she’ll go back again in the coming weeks. She needs to get out some.

It was muggy and hot this weekend — guess the fall-out from Hannah. We didn’t get any rain though which surprised me. I’m glad she was pretty petered out by the time she hit NC & VA. I’m sure they were too!

I talked to Eddie Friday and Yvonne has bronchitis. He was at the hospital with her getting prescriptions filled and the connection was terrible. Then we IM’ed each other some Saturday and I IM’ed Chrystalyn, too. She said she was enjoying her new school and had some potential BFF’s (best forever friend in case you didn’t know). I had ordered her some books and she got one of them Friday and was pretty excited about it. I have others on order for her, but it will be towards the end of the month before they get here.

I talked to Pam earlier in the week and they all seem to be doing well. Patrick has a new truck after he crashed his other one. BeBe is doing well in school and at dance and her mom and dad are about the same. I learned that Pam has gone to college to get her teaching degree. I can’t say how proud I am of her! I think that’s wonderful and that she will be a great teacher.

Well, that should catch you all up with us. I hope you have a great week and that this heat wave breaks real soon! I thought we had seen the last of 90+ weather, but apparently not.

Love to all,

Margaret
