I kicked off the weekend , well the week really, by catching a nasty cold that has left me drained and without a voice. I thought I was feeling better on Thursday...... and then Thursday night came along and that was the end of the feeling better.
But the show must go on as they say.
On Friday afternoon a big brown truck pulled up to my house and left me a large box. Inside this large box which was address to me but was really for my sister Jenn and I, were 8 fabulously decorated cupcakes of various flavors from a company in Chicago. Jenn came to town Friday night for a Chinese dinner at our house.
After we gorged ourselves on Peter's fantastic cooking, we sat down at the coffee table in the living room forks in hand and had a sample of each cupcake. There were some good ones, the lemon blueberry was by far my favorite, and some bad ones, the dark chocolate sea salt.... yuck! Peter didn't even like it and that is saying something because he likes almost everything..... except cooked carrots, which I tell him is why his eye sight is so bad. Anyway most of them were delicious.
Saturday morning we got up and I cooked us a nice breakfast, while Peter installed my birthday present in my car. He and Carter got me a phone holder that attaches to the dash or windshield. I think it has something to do with my driving skills...... or lack there of. Apparently I am a terrible driver.
I really like it. I can use my phone like a GPS now. It is very hands free and handy.
After breakfast I headed to the pharmacy to get some medicine and cards. I ended up having to go to two different stores to get the right medicine, prompting Jenn to text me to see if I had gotten lost and to post a comment on my FB page about me being old and needing to hurry up. She can be a little ornery sometimes.
Jenn and I headed out to do a little shopping and pick up a cake she ordered from Cold Stone Creamery, the cake was fantastic. We did a little window shopping..... well I window shopped she did buy something. I found a couple really cute sweaters and fun shoes that I might have to look into purchasing.
About the time we made it home my Dad and Theresa pulled into town. So Jenn, Carter and I headed to lunch with them. Peter had already eaten and had a couple things to do to get ready for the party.
We had a party at a local bar with family and friends. We had a lot of fun getting together with everyone.
