12,408

This weekend, Ron and I are going on a little trip. For some strange reason, I couldn't get Sam and Aud to spend THEIR anniversary with us, but I could get them to spend OUR anniversary with us :) Tomorrow evening they are meeting us in Granbury, Texas. We are staying at the Hilton Garden Inn. We will just "hang around" on Saturday. The original forecast was 91 and humid. Now it is 79 and rainy. I am hoping that Granbury is one of those fun Texas towns to visit. There is a lake there and a city beach. There is also a historic district with shows and shops. There is a marina, a chocolate shoppe, an opera house, a place called "Granbury Live" with country music, and a drive in movie theater. On Sunday, church is at 11:00 and only 7 minutes from where we are staying. After church and lunch, Sam and Aud will go back to Wylie and we are going to Kerrville. We will spend Sunday night there and then go to Bandera on Monday morning. We are hoping that our property has a "river front" (actually it's a "river back" :) and no cedar trees. In other words, we are hoping that the water is back after the drought and that they have cleared our lot. We are going to sit out there and plan a few tree houses for Ron to build :) We need to be back home Monday afternoon, Ron has a basketball game at 5:30. Anyway...it should be a fun "get away" weekend to celebrate our anniversary. I am so grateful for Ron and for our family. I am totally in love with the fact that we still like each other. (Okay, so maybe I'm in love with him, too :) On Ashley's face book page she has a "Wedding Book", that says they have been married 642 days-- so here is our number-- 12,408 days! That's a long time :)

He's Good (and a Sixth Grader)

Squash?

Ron planted some new "stuff" in the garden. He kept telling us that he had a new squash plant that was doing great. He also has some onions, corn, radishes, more beets, peas, and beans. But, if you ask me his squash plant....

is a pumpkin. :)

For Mothers Day

For Mothers Day, Ron unclogged my sink in our bathroom.

Actually...

For Mothers Day, Ron took mom and me out for dinner last night. (He made me eat a whole pile of onion rings and then fried chicken and shrimp :)
He also made the ultimate sacrifice and went shopping at WalMart to buy me a small suitcase that I wanted. (I am going to use it for my 72 emergency kit- a small suitcase, WITH wheels :) While I was in the shower this morning, he made the bed and then put the suitcase on my side.

He also cooked breakfast. (He made me eat an omelet and toast instead of my usual milk and cereal :)
AND...

Pink roses for GG and red roses for me.

Thank you very much.

The Cost of Doing Business

You won't believe this one...
At my store I have a "Zebra" label printer. It is what we use to print all of the price tags for the dresses. They come in a roll. Each roll has been costing me $7. Last week I got a phone call from someone at the place where I buy the labels. He was telling me that there was a price increase on the labels that I use. He wanted to talk to me about some other options. My labels that have been $7 a roll ...

are now $92.69 per roll. (not kidding :)
