BYE BYE SUMMER!

I can't believe we are approaching Labor Day Weekend, signaling the end of Summer 2009. It has truly been a great summer. The July 4th weekend was fabulous, went to Vegas with my family, got Prissy, went to Texas to see the Bartleys, and ending the summer going to see the grandkids! We have had many weekends of playing cards, and a few in front of the chiminea. Yes, see my little Prissy? She is so precious, and we both are crazy about her.
The high today is going to be 72 degrees! The last 2 weekends have been similar! FALL is on the way!!

INTRODUCING...........PRISSY!!!

This is my new puppy, PRISSY! She is so cute, however I DO wish she would sleep more at night...but she will, she will!! The 3 of us are driving to Texas on Wednesday, that should be fun. But she loves to be held. Her little bladder is still very unpredictable.....but we sure are crazy about her....yes, even CB!

LAS VEGAS 2009

Left July 5th to go to Vegas with my siblings. We had so much fun! I WANTED TO WIN ENOUGH $ FOR MY PUPPY! I was up $175 on penny slots, so I decided I best move up to the higher $...and yes, I lost it. So, no puppy yet! But had a great time with the family. We laughed and laughed all week! We stayed at the Bellajio. It was beautiful.

JULY 4TH FUN!

The best week I can remember....Friday, July 3rd, we attended I Love America, full of fun, food, and friends. It was actually very cool when the sun went down. Great fun with great friends. We also went to the Springfield Cardinals baseball game on July 4th, with fabulous fireworks again!

MORE WOMEN OF FAITH PHOTOS

Still feeling the affects of this fabulous weekend. Already have people lined up to go with us next year!

WEATHER!

In will post about my great vacation later, but I HAD to comment on the weather! First, last week we were in Vegas with temps over 100 everyday. It was STILL more bearable than here! No humidity (2%), but here it has been horrible. Anywho, it is going to be 80 today and tomorrow and down in the 50s at night!!!!! We can breathe!!!!!!!

WOMEN OF FAITH 2009

One of the things we LOVE to do is eat these handmade crepes at the hotel we stay. The buffet is $20 and it is worth every penny (our husbands don't understand). These crepes are to die for!!!

Well, you know we are Women of Faith pros(or we THINK we are). I have been every year but 1 since they started in 1996. They have changed the convention center name several times in St. Louis, so when another name showed up on the instructions, I thought nothing of it. We buy are metrolink tickets and off we go to Union Station to eat and sit in the massage chairs. We left about 5:30 to walk to the Convention Center. It was so horribly hot, and we wondered where all the women were. As we arrived, Lisa tried to open the door and there was some rather grungy men at the door, and they said it was locked. We were very indignant and said oh no it isn't. They said we were at the wrong place! WELL!!!!!!!!! Being the group leader, I yanked out my paper and said no we aren't.....well, yes we were. They changed locations, and I hadn't noticed!!! The WWE (wrestling) was to be there that night! Those men offered to take us to the correct place for $10 a piece!!! We said no thanks, and caught a cab (ask Dana about that) and got there in plenty of time. It was actually the best Women of Faith ever.

Now comes my second favorite HOLIDAY of the year...JULY 4TH! I Love America Friday, Cardinal game Saturday...and Sunday? We leave for vacation with my brothers and sister.
We return on the 9th....and guess what starts THAT night?? BIG BROTHER 11!! YIPPPEE!
