Random Ventures

Johnny and I began last Saturday getting Christmas decorations out of our attic. It was the last weekend we would both be home with nothing going on before Christmas. The initial plan was to get it all out and start decorating the yard. We got everything down in the garage and then realized it was way too cold to be working in the yard. We decided to change our plans and go to Branson for the day. We got there around 4:00 pm, went to the mall and Silver Dollar City for the evening. We made it back home by midnight. It was much more enjoyable than working in the yard all day. Johnny plans on getting the yard done next Saturday in the cold and possibly rain. We will let you know how it goes.

Engagement Party

We had a "Happy Engagement Party" for Amy and Bryan this weekend. We had a good time visiting with each other and snacking all night long. I also had the pleasure of meeting Hadleigh for the first time. She was very sweet and snuggly. Johnny told me not to be getting any crazy ideas quite yet.
We try to keep Piper out of the way when we have people over because he doesn't always know how to behave himself. He did very well Saturday night. Our friends even commented that maybe he is getting calmer in his old age (2 1/2 years old). He was worn out after the party. He spent all afternoon Sunday sleeping in the recliner with Johnny.

Flintstones


We had a good time on Halloween. We went to 2 friends houses and sang the Flintstone song in transition between the houses. Johnny spent the whole day yelling YABBA DABBA DOO practicing for the big night.
