Girls weekend

I was the honorary girl at Girls Weekend with Lisa, Judy and Ruthanne at Lisa's cabin in Munds Park.  We had a fantastic weekend while our guys stayed at home taking care of our dogs. :)  We had a lot of fun together, making some fantastic food, drinking some incredible wine and singing some BAD karaoke.  We also experienced a fun Jeep ride on Saturday.  We had perfect weather, although we had hoped for rain that never came. 

We learned that there was a big storm in Phoenix Saturday that knocked out the power in our neighborhood and Lisa's neighborhood.  It's too bad we didn't get any of the rain up in Munds Park!  Take a look at our photo album to see some of the things that we did, cooked, ate, and drank.  Have a great week!

Saturday Night

It's Saturday night and we are home watching a movie.  We had a busy day.  We got up at 5:45 (thank you Drama and Brother Boy) and took the boys for a walk about 6:30.  About 8, we left to go to Cigna for me to get a flu shot.  After that, we stopped at a few garage sales.  Very disapointing.  Lots of nasty, gross stuff for sale!  We then went to Ross to exchange a lighted dog leash that didn't work.  Then we went to the Dollar Tree to get some LED flashlights.  We tried to take the dogs in, but we got kicked out because they sell food there and said the health department doesn't allow them to have dogs in there.  Next we got on the road to IKEA to return the Poang chairs.  We discovered that they don't fit in the space in the motor home where we wanted to put them.  Fortunately they were still boxed up and the covers in plastic. 

After IKEA we came home and relaxed.  I did some laundry and we took cat naps in our recliners.  About 3:30 we decided to get cleaned up and head out for dinner.  On the way, we stopped at CostCo and returned the medicine cabinets we bought since we are now not going to remodel the bathroom.  After that, we headed downtown to FEZ.  We had a fabulous dinner, then on the way home, stopped at Redbox to rent some movies.  I asked Dennis when we got old.  It's not even 8 and we're in for the night.  We're now kicking back, having a beer and watching the movie Fast and Furious.

Tomorrow, Patrick's helping us return the vanity to CostCo with his truck, then Lisa and I are going back to IKEA to return the lights we got for the bathroom that don't fit/work and a sliding tray she bought.  Then, we should be all done returning stuff. 

I hope everyone is having a great weekend.  Very hot here in Phoenix.  We are hoping the cool weather comes back very soon!  Take care!!

Labor Day

We got home today from a great weekend up north.  We left about 3:30 Friday and arrived about 5:15.  We stayed at Patrick & Lisa's cabin in Munds Park.  We had a great time Friday.  Saturday, we went garage saling in the morning.  Saturday evening, we had our friends Jeremy, Brandon, Jim and Chuck over to the cabin for dinner and karaoke.  They were dry camping in their motor homes very close to Munds Park.

Sunday, we hung out while Lisa and I farmed and Dennis and Patrick played XBox.  About 4, we went over to the motor homes and had some cocktails and appetizers.  It was fun.  We got back to the cabin just after dark and put dinner in the oven.  I think we finally ate about 11:30pm.  It was hard to go to bed with a brick in my gut!  :-) 

Today, we got up and had breakfast, then got packed up.  We learned there was a crash that closed I-17, so we delayed our departure.  We left about 1:30, and got home about 3:15 or 3:30.  It was a difficult drive home, and the freeway was busy.  Traffic was bumper-to-bumper in several spots along the way.  We finally got off the freeway at Carefree Highway and took 29th/Norterra home. 

It was a great weekend.  Check out the Picasa album to the left.  Lots of pictures!!  Enjoy!
