I’m still here!

Goodness, has it really been nearly a week since I posted? I wrote that last post last Wednesday, but it wouldn’t let me upload it so I got it posted on Thursday and I haven’t had a chance to get here again since then because we’ve had our wonderful friends Sue and Doug visiting us :-)

My sweet friend Sue is actually an online friend who I met many years ago (oh, about 8 or 9 years ago now I think – wow, has it really been that long?!) and many of you will know her too from her blog ‘Life is the Lemonade You Make’. We’ve had the opportunity to meet about 4 times now, twice while we lived in Maryland and they were on their way to visit family in NC, and twice now in TX when Doug has come to San Marcos to work.

As I mentioned in my previous post, last week I made the trip to the Outlets at San Marcos to meet Sue for a fun day of shopping. According to my pedometer that day we walked over 11,000 steps, over 5 miles and burned over 300 calories!

I didn’t spend like crazy, but got a couple of cute tops – here’s me trying one on in the store (my first purchase of the day). I also bought some earrings, sunglasses and another top (which I have no picture of yet!). 

Kim wanted me to blog about what I’d bought, so these pics are for you Kim ;-)

We spent our 4th with our neighbors but sadly didn’t see (or hear) any fireworks last night because of the drought we are in.

Here’s a few photos of the day. . . .

  We spent most of the morning in the kitchen! I made the trifle from Gina’s site, also some cupcakes, chocolate dipped strawberries, and potato salad.

Jason finally put our flag pole up so I could hang the flag he bought me at Christmas!!

 

(if you’re wondering what’s on my head, it’s a head band with fluffy red white and blue feathers!)

Sue will have a ton more great photos I’m sure, which she’ll post to her blog once she’s home.

We all went to the Oasis on Sunday night for dinner! I’ll share those pictures later this week.
