WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON IN MY LIFE...

My life has its exciting moments and then many drab moments. Occasionally things liven up but my days are filled with reading, watching my favorite shows, searching the web, blogging, and maybe once a week I go shopping.

Recently some friends and I had a night out on the town.

We went to Texarkana and had supper at Applebee's. As we entered the building we were hugging the two new ones that joined us and ended up with everyone hugging and making a BIG spectacle of ourselves. One nice guy with a dark tan even got into the hugging. (Maxine didn't participate in this hugging game.)

While there my friend, Iris, brought out her bottle of cough syrup and politely asked the waitress if she could have a spoon so she could take it. As you can see from the photo it was a humongous bottle she had tucked away in her bag.This livened the bunch up and a few times I was afraid we would be asked to get quiet.

We enjoyed a great meal and headed out to the movies. We saw Jalo's new movie, The Back-Up Plan. We all liked the movie.

I failed to get a group picture. I took these pictures with my phone. These gals were seated across the table from me.

On Friday I joined my girls and attended a Barrel Racing

Clinic in Texarkana. It was a three day event but I managed to only go Friday and Sunday afternoon. It was pretty exciting. There was nineteen participants.

Sheyanne won in her division and Madasan would have been second but she knocked over a barrel. They were pretty satisfied with what they learned at the clinic. They love the Reinharts and want to go to their next clinic. ( Can you believe it...I didn't get any pictures of this adventure.)

On Monday Mary, Suzanne and I had doctor's appointments in Texarkana. That was super fun but we did have a great lunch out before appointment.

Today was my daughter's birthday. She is now a big 41 years old. She was pretty excited because my nephew and his wife had their baby today.

Last but not least is the adventures my dog, Tuff, has been on this week. I worry all of the time because he must be on a chain because he wanders off and pesters the neighbors. Well he broke his chain and I just let him stay out. The first day he was gone all day and came home so dirty and smelly late that night. The next day he stayed home all day and night. Next day he left but returned pretty quick. When I left for Texarkana he wanted to go but I told him to stay home and he did. When I returned he was here. He may get into trouble but at least he is happier and so am I.

My next adventure, to look forward to, is the big Bunko Luau at Julia's in June. While waiting I guess I need to finish that Nora Robert's book...
