Weekending

Hope you had a great weekend!  Mine was!  It consisted of...

...visiting a wholesale flower warehouse with a friend.  Nothing like some beautiful blooms to brighten even a rainy day!  I even spotted some proteas...S. Africa's national flower!

...spotting Laura Bush!  After the warehouse, we went to a nursery in N. Dallas.  Wouldn't you know it but Mrs. Bush was there shopping, too!  I would have loved to have gotten a picture to add to my Presidential spotting list, but the big secret service agent was kind of intimidating AND I didn't want to intrude on her flower shopping trip!

...grabbing some $1 tomato plants at the nursery!  Can't wait to get those in the ground.  An extra wet weekend prevented me from getting that done.

...some sewing, knitting, and baking.  Boy, do I feel like Ma in the current home schooling story time book we're reading!

...celebrating Piggy's 4th birthday.  Emma G did a great job planning it.  We had balloons, banana muffins, and even presents!
