Special Saturday

Saturday was full of friends, and for those friends I am thankful.

Laurie stopped by in the morning bearing house gifts and good cheer.  

I visited Becca in the afternoon and ran some errands with Evie, the sweetest little sneak you'll ever meet! :)

Here she is, enjoying some candy and the day

In the evening I took in some Laugh Fest and dinner and met some new friends.  

People are the spice of life!

Pretzel Making Fools

Say it with me now: 'Mmm homemade soft pretzels!'  They were so good, and so worth it!

Roll out and cut into puffs

The 'secret' is in the background of this photo: baking soda.

Baked puffs

Cinnamon Sugar - ooo lala!

Or mustard is a good friend too :)

Round the night out with delish homemade gyros and a good joke, I'd say it was a great Friday night!

Still No Tomcats

Nope, Regina still hasnt met any nice tomcats, but there is new (beautiful) life on Kelsey!
 
 If you recall, this is where I started

After a few days in the dark this is how they were

When they looked like this, I decided it was time to bring them into the light

See the buds???

ooo I think I can!

I can!

And I'm BEAUTIFUL!

I am telling you, this is easy, doable, and is bringing cheer to my dining room!

Let's Go Blue!

Recently the Michigan Wolverines provided a great family outing

The girls in Blue!

The team laid an egg that night, but the outing was still great!

You Dirty Rat!

I heard that phrase! At a church ladies game night!  Sequence will do that to you I guess! :)

xBox Kinect

Adult Shoots and Ladders I think

The alleged 'Dirty Rat' is there on the left - I know right?!

Such fun!

Even until 1 am...that's when the good stories about bats and rats come out!

DAY-Naaaa!

My friend Dana came to visit me over the weekend, it was SO good to see her and spend time together. 

Bowling, browsing, sleeping in, eating out, chatting, seeing the lake and most importantly: convincing her to come back this summer!

Brrrr it's FREEZING in here!

This is what you say when you have a winter birthday, live in a northern state, and drive 'up north' to celebrate your birthday with family.  Boyne was freezing that weekend!  But we had a great time celebrating, playing games, eating at Marv's restaurant, and picking out cards.

Carrot Cake. yum.

Also got some other great news: 5 times the fun coming August 2012!
