Long weekend!

Saturday started fairly normally, although I actually slept in until 8:30 (which is late for me!). Then we had a fairly uneventful morning/early afternoon.  I worked around the house, cleaning some things up.  Then I was going to re-pot the vegetables that I’d started in my kitchen so that they could be outside, but I decided that it may have been to chilly yet to really leave them outside.  Yes…it will be nice to get back into the 60s and 70s again since it is May, after all.

Anyway, the veggies went back into the bay window in my kitchen, so I may work on them today or tomorrow instead.  Then I started to get ready for our weekend away; we were having dinner with my friends from college in Wadsworth and then we drove down to the farm to spend Mother’s Day with his family.  So I made cookies to take with us and started to pack some clothes.  We got everything around and left a little after 3:00.  We were about an hour north (of a 2 hour trip) when I realized that I left our church clothes hanging in our bedroom.  SO we made a quick stop at the Lodi Outlet mall to find me a decent shirt to wear (Lodi isn’t really a great outlet mall by the way) before getting to Mike & Erika’s.  We had a good time there and left for the farm about 10:30…which meant that we got to the farm about 12:30 on Sunday morning. 

Sunday we skipped sunday school and slept in, then went to church.  Then we took the entire Hogue family (except one cousin) out to dinner for Mother’s Day. I was a little concerned about taking a group of 11 out, but we went to Bob Evans (which is very fancy to Grandpa & Grandma Hogue), and we really didn’t wait that long at all!  Then we just hung out at the house for the rest of the day.  It rained pretty steadily, so we were stuck inside, and I was pretty antsy by the time it was time to go.  We almost stayed longer (we left about 7:00) to go over to the Powell get-together, but we figured it would make us very late starting for home.  So we just came home.  That was a good choice, I think.

Anyway, Eric played on the computer a bit, while I read the newspaper and watched tv (I decided to watch the Survivor finale just for fun), and then we went to bed.
