Warm Weather Weekend

The past 48 hours went so quickly I feel like I almost wasn't there. Friday night I went to the bookstore with Baby G and her brother. We scored all kinds of goodies, including some Rocky & Bullwinkle DVDs. Saturday the house was full of folk: sewing, ironing barbequeing, and the like. Saturday evening, Baby G joined friends to dine on Ethiopian cuisine. Spicy, but delightful. Then we took a "Ghost Tour" of downtown. It was fascinating and deliciously creepy. Yesterday we all pitched in and cleaned the house and raked the backyard. We've filled 6 lawn bags with leaves so far. I bought another bundle last night and think we'll fill all five of those as well. Ah, winter.

Since the weather was so gorgeous and out-of-character for the season, Baby G and I tried to fly a kite, but the wind just wouldn't cooperate. Maybe next weekend? That is, if it isn't snowing. Or 100 degrees. That old Texan saying, if you don't like the weather, just wait five minutes, is so true.
