The weekend and the week to come

Well didn't do much. We did however get our room clean finally. We got new snowflake flannel sheets, they were warm last night. The fog is rolling in this year. We have been under law enforcement alerts. Basicly high fog alerts, they have a new name for them. Silly! I am off to Dinuba this week (today and tomorrow) and next. So I will have to leave extra early with the fog. Going to see Kim and Matt tonight and I am so excited. We might go to dinner, just depends. I have class today and none on Wed. Troy is off today and tomorrow for a well needed long weekend. So a short week for both of us. Thanksgiving will be at Troys sisters house or his moms. We are taking cranberries and plates. They wanted us to bring plates and no food. His brother in law is a chef so he does all the cooking. Well I can't go and not take anything. So I told his mom that I would bring cranberries, since nobody ever has cranberries the way I like them. I bought at farmers market some huge green raisins to make oatmeal raisin cookies and I get to make a Pumpkin Pie Cake for Troys pot luck. So I will a baking fool!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Today was his birthday and I hope he had a great day.

Gas

This is how much I filled my car up for tonight! I kept thinking that when I got a tank for under $2.00 a gallon that I would take pictures some how. And I did with my cell phone! I was so excited to see it for $1.99 a gallon. I was bouncing in my seat when I pulled up to Costco!

Danell

My friend Danell is moving to Utah. She is a gypsy to the core of her being. She had been in Maui for 3 years. It was time for her to move on. She tried Montana and now she is headed for St. George. On her way down south to make her way to Las Vegas she stopped in the Valley. It was great to see her it had been 4 years, that is what we determined. Too long for sure. I meant to get a picture of us this morning and forgot to pull my camera out. I was so mad after she had left I almost called her and told her to come back. But I refrained! I worked at the High School in Exeter today and yesterday. It was interesting. The teacher put me at the table to work on reading. It was nice to put the things I had learned in Arkansas to work in another setting. I guess I impressed the teacher and told me today that I was doing a great job.

Holiday Stroll

We went to holiday stroll this weekend. It was a lot of fun. We had the kids this weekend. They even enjoyed it. We walked around to all the open shops. We even got a great bargain at the Arrow Stationers store closing. Fifty cent pen refills for the pens that Troy uses at work. That is almost Three dollars off the original price. We snagged all they had. I got my rose from Ramblin Rose who is celebrating their 20th year next year. It was not the same at the other flower shop since Peggy doesn't own it anymore. I got to see Annie, Adrianna and Megan a few times. All the Pereira's were in the jewlry store. And Karen and Mrs L'herault were out directing traffic, hearing Karen in that setting takes me back to being a kid in scouts. We went shoe shopping for Troy yesterday and decided on them today. We had chili from two weeks ago, and I made a new fancier, yummier version of my white trash lasagne. With tortellini instead of elbow macoroni, a twist off of a Rachel Ray recipe. Yum-O!
