Girls Spend Two Nights With Us!

 

We picked up Larissa and Arianna on Thursday afternoon.  Lari does not have school on Friday since all S. A. schools are closed due to the BIG Fiesta Parade.

They pose in the hats Janet gave me for my Red Hat gatherings.....

They downloaded some games for me.....all were free.   We all had fun comparing scores as we played.

Tomorrow we will take them home so they can spend time with Mom and Dad.  We sure had a great weekend.  Time went by too fast for us.

Lari had school the following day so we took them back home but before we left, they gave me an early Mother's Day gift. 

I got an ipad.   They gave me a quick run down and when I got home, I registered for a class at the Apple Store.  

Time with LariAri 019

I attended one class but want to attend more.  There is so much you can do with this ipad so I have a lot to learn....

We had an awesome time with the Girls.  We asked them to come spend the night on the weekend so we will see....

Hamburger Dinner With The WWWs

This morning, the Host Team made breakfast for our group but I was not able to stay.  I got there and did a little but then felt so sick to my stomach.  I had to go to the coach.  I felt really light headed and just got rid of my Mexican food.....ugh!

Gisele, Phil and Manuel did all the cooking.  They served scrambled eggs, pancakes and sausage patties along with coffee and OJ.  They all said it was great....Sorry I missed it.

Many of the folks went to San Antonio Shoe Factory and most of them bought the shoes, some bought purses, etc.  They returned at about noon and we just sat out and socialized.  The Franklins and Welches went out to the San Antonio Missions....not sure how many they visited.

By 5 p.m., we headed to the rally room to begin dinner, which was very simple:  Hamburgers with and without cheese, and all the trimmings and chips with iced tea.

Everyone enjoyed the burgers!  This has been such a great week!   The weather was great, too.  It was nice and cool.  No rain, though.

We said our Good-byes to many of the WWWs as they will leave early in the morning.  Others will meet for breakfast at Crackel Barrel.

Janet and Sharon will hit the road to Red Bay tomorrow for some repairs on their rigs.....Be careful, girls.

Until we meet again!
