Oh What A wonderful Weekend

Good Monday morning and come on in Through My Back Door. We have had this discussion before, I know it is Monday and laundry day, but I am NOT doing it.lol So grab a cup of coffee and come in. I am embarrassed to say I have gotten so far behind in the AtoZ I am not finishing it. A rare thing for me to do is not follow through, but this is one time. I will think long and hard before I make such a long blogging commitment again.lol It was fun and I enjoyed it, until I got behind.Then it was a stress and I just decided to stop. SOOOOOO, last week was beautiful here for the most part. I love eating my lunch outside. Went to Debs for supper one night and we ate outside. It was perfect. Anyway let me tell you about my weekend. As you know Karen,( MY COLONIAL HOME, ) was to visit me 
on Friday. They were on their way to NC. Unfortunately they both got sick on Monday,  and didn't get to come until Saturday. Well my Saturday was filled to the brim so we couldn't make it on Saturday. Saturday I went to a Ladies Luncheon with Deb at her church. It was a quilting theme. Deb is a quilter and they had some beautiful quilts, old and new on display. A fun program and good food.
I always enjoy being with Deb. We can have a good time where ever we are. I am so thankful I have a beautiful daughter who enjoys being with here mama.
Saturday night I went to my High School alumni banquet. SO many people but not many from my class. It was nice and lots of good food.
Saturday afternoon I had a message from Karen and they had decided to go on their trip. They were spending the night in Powell(5 miles from me) and could we meet for breakfast. Karen and I were NOT letting this opportunity pass. I had been asked to Greet at church on Sunday so I had to go. We agreed to meet at 7:30 at Shoneys which was next to their motel and 5 minutes from my church. I am so glad we could make this happen. You know there are people you know from forums, blogs, FB decorating groups, etc, and the minute you are face to face, it seems you have been friends forever. That is the way it was. I enjoyed visiting with them so much. We just didn't have enough time. Their friends had bought tickets for a play in the early afternoon and we both had to go. We did enjoy what time we had together and it will happen again.
Karen got more pictures than I did as I just had my phone. I will tell you this. She looks just as young and perky in person as she does in her pictures. She is just a doll. Karen's blog was the second one I ever read, with Linda Rudmans being the first. After reading theirs for a couple of years I decided to do one too.
I have to admit I have been in a blogging slump and don't think I am very interesting anymore.(if in fact it ever was) However I have made some wonderful friends through the blogging world. I have been touched by many of you and your kindness. Blogging is slowing down a little but it is a great way to share.
Well one more thing on my list. Please pray for my friend Mary. She is in the hospital and has been since Friday. Mary suffered a brain bleed back in 2002 and is a miracle.She is having horrific headaches and diziness. We wre praying they can find the cause and fix it. Someday I will ask her if I can share her story. (You see she was supposed to have been on her way to Portugal and would have been in the middle of the ocean) Anyway, please pray for her. As I said, she is a miracle. BTW she is in my domino group.
Well I am so glad you came Through My Back Door where life is good.

PSSS: I will have something exciting to share next post

  6. Praying for your friend Mary. Sometimes blogging slumps happen. I write ahead a week or two just in case and save them to auto-deploy. Then I can write when I'm in the mood!

  7. My dear sweet friend, I love your posts! I know exactly what you mean about when you meet a fellow blogger. You just pick up the conversation. No introductions, just start talking. I think the most interesting part is hearing their voice for the first time. You create a voice in your head as you read their posts. I must saw Christine's and Trace's voice were much more lovely than what I had imagined! Hugs to you! I am in a slump too. Too much teaching on the mind. Love, Heather
