Friends, Family, and Fun!

Make a postcard - it's easy!

I don't know about you...but our weekend was certainly a busy one! Our friend, Terry, came in from Mason, MI on Thursday and was here until Saturday night. Friday night a whole group of us went to the Woodside Bible Church in Troy for their "Comedy For A Cause" show. There were two comedians on the program, Tom Ryan (not the local guy) and Tim Hawkins. I have to say that I haven't laughed that much in ages! After the show, we all (18 of us)went to the Alibi Restaurant to eat. Saturday John, Terry and I went out to breakfast, then spent the WHOLE day (at least until 5:30 p.m.) shopping. Terry doesn't have many large stores or malls near where she lives, so when she comes here, she tries to find those things that she isn't able to find in Mason. I think we pretty well covered most of the Lakeside Mall area! lol We went to Ram's Horn for dinner, then John and I were off to my parents' house for my dad's birthday.

My brother and his family and my daughter's family joined us at my parents and we all enjoyed pineapple birthday cake, vanilla ice cream AND coconut pie! It was all very yummy! As you can see by the pictures, Jake, the new puppy, also came to wish my dad well. And nooooo...you aren't "seeing double"....there actually are TWO puppies! My mother fell in love with Jake last week, and since she has been wanting a dog, she decided to buy Jake's brother for her and my dad!! The new puppy was a hit with everyone (including Terry) and now Terry wants one too! She has put her order in for the next litter which is scheduled to arrive sometime in July. I think I should be due some kind of a "finder's fee" or something!lol The two dogs enjoyed playing together and we all enjoyed watching! The new puppy doesn't yet have a name, but I will certainly keep you informed when my mom decides on what he will be called.

So, once again, the weekend has FLOWN by....and Monday is almost here again. I'm sure this will be a busy week for everyone. I sometimes miss all the activity that comes with Easter...the buying of candy and Easter baskets, shopping for Easter outfits and coloring Easter eggs. Well, maybe I really don't miss coloring Easter eggs all THAT much! lol So, on that note, I hope you all have a blessed Easter and enjoy a wonderful time with your families!
