A Weekend at Home

As I've mentioned already, this weekend I went to Nocona for my Meme's second 80th Birthday party.  A few of us family members took her out on her actual 80th Birthday, but on Saturday, we had a party with the rest of her kids present as well as friends.  Here are some pics (while viewing, please keep in mind that the church hall that was our venue, was less than pretty)...



Papa and Meme
My Amy, My Uncles' Wives, Nancy & Gina, Mom and Me (left to right)
I made Mom and Dad pose for a pic because they were both coordinating in purple...

Dad said it was twerp week.  Did y'all have twerp week back in High School or was that just a Nocona thing?  If you didn't, one day in twerp week was dress alike day.
This was pre-party at the house... Dad & Milly watching T.V.
After the party, it was pool time!
My cousins, Maddie and Gracie were staying with my other grandma and they came over to swim.


These girls crack me up because they are such fancy city girls.  I was ordering their dinner from Dairy Queen and they wanted chocolate shakes.  Gracie said, "get it with extra whipped cream!".  I had to say, "Oh honey, it's Dairy Queen, they don't do whipped cream on milk shakes."  "Oh," she said, with a puzzled look on her face.

We lucked out and the cake was actually yummy! We don't have a choice of good bakeries around Nocona.

It's SATC Saturday Again

First, I will start you off with a little movie... Sex and the City- All the Best Moments from the Movie. WARNING : If you haven't seen the movie, don't watch this.  Oh, and also please rectify this ASAP.  Ann-  they have the movie at your local TJ Maxx for $5.99.  I meant to buy it for you when I was there and bring it to you at Robin's party, but I got distracted by lamps and forgot (sorry!).  This week has been pretty lame-o on the updates front. All I have found is that there are reports of some drama on the set between Kim Cattrall and SJP.  Of course there have been reports in the past that these two gals didn't get along (personally I think it is just because KC is a little too big for her britches and doesn't seem to always remember that SJP is an executive producer and Carrie is, well the star ).  There are also reports that SJP is possibly a little overwhelmed with having the two new twin girls and little James Wilkie to take care of...
