FABULOUS WEEKEND

We had a fabulous weekend! CB and I both took off Friday, and we slept in. We met the Comstocks at 1:00 and headed to Kansas City to meet the Arnolds. They were attending a Missouri State Teachers convention. Our rooms were close together. We went to dinner and a little shopping at Crown Center before going back to our room and playing cards and yes, eating the snacks we brought. We had great rooms and comfortable beds too. We went to the Plaza on Saturday, but it was too cold to do much shopping there, but we certainly managed to eat at the Cheesecake Factory. Then we had a nice ride home, girls in one car and boys in the other. The girls were the head car and we just HAD to stop at the Dollar Store and Target before we got on the road home. We told the boys they could go on, but they stayed right with us! So relaxing and fun fun fun!!!

HO HUM

I am trying to make myself blog. It has been a week since Franklin ran in front of a car. I am still so sad. I know, I know, he was a dog and not mine, but I still feel responsible. Clint and Kristin actually have got a new puppy, she is cute and I am sure I will love her too, but she isn't Franklin....

Anyway, lets see...all Halloween decorations are down and Thanksgiving is up. Tobi and fam cannot come for Thanksgiving. I pulled my annual Thanksgiving grocery list (good idea, huh, keeping the list for every year) and trying to get excited about that.

Work....in EPIC (elctronic medical record) training. Work has been challenging and stressful.

Lots of Holiday parties on the calendar.

CB is good and has been such a support. I love you sweetheart!

Well, that's all I can blog for now.......ho hum!

MISS YOU LITTLE FRANKLIN

I am so sad, my heart is broken. Franklin got out of our back yard and ran straight to the street and was hit by a car. Clint and Kristin were on the way home from St. Louis and we had to make that horrible call. Little Frank was the apple of Clint's eye. I know as the days go by it will get better. My heart hurts for Clint (and Kristin too). Their other dog, Colby, cried all night, missing his buddy.

THE BARTLEYS VISIT

We had a FABULOUS time with CB's parents this weekend! I took off Friday and the 3 of us had a fun day. We babysat the dogs on Saturday (Clint worked and Kristin was with her family), and they were very good. As you can see they loved CB's lap, but not as much as the back yard. Anyway, the dogs left Sunday, and the Bartleys left Monday. I was sad....

Cold weather is coming!!! And the Spooky Corn Maze this weekend!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JODY!

Happy Birthday today Jody! We had a SURPRISE PARTY for Jody last Saturday, with family and friends. If you don't know, Jody is Clint's wife's mom. But, Jody was NOT the camera hog!! But Mr Landon Reinhard (one of my docs' son) certainly was! He sure is a doll, as are his 3 sisters!

TOY'S SPOOK HOUSE!

Here it is my Spooky House. I LOVE Halloween!!! Can you tell? It comes from my Mom, who also loved Halloween. In Texas as a kid, Halloweens are some of my fondest memories. Anyway, I have several spook houses, one that has thunder, a couple of rugs that when you step on it, one screams and one is a ghost moaning. Poor CB tolerates it. I love all holidays, but this is my favorite. TRICK OR TREAT!!!

WEDDING WEEKEND

What a fun fun weekend! The wedding was so lovely. I took off Friday to be of help and we met at the church at 9:30 to start setting up. It was truly an honor to help. We both love Mandy and Bradley. And Saturday was so beautiful. The wedding was short and sweet, and the reception was so beautiful and fun. And it sure was great to see Clint and Kristin. We rarely see them because of schedules.

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Tucker!
