Weekend Recap

It was just a typical winter weekend here on the homestead.  We didn't have a lot going on. On Friday night we had tickets to a chili and gumbo supper. We just did take-out. Trey had tickets to a fish fry, so he brought that home. We had a smorgasbord of food that night!

Makena gave a presentation and speech for the Grand Prairie Historical Society. It was a presentation she gave to the museum guests in November. There were around 50 people in attendance, so that is one of the biggest crowds that she has presented to (except for when she was in college).

On Saturday Carl and I had to go into town to get a part for Trey's hot water heater. We are trying everything before we finally give in and buy a new one (and it's looking more like that is the direction we are headed). We also ran into Wal-Mart, but not for long! I remember why I don't grocery shop on Saturdays! 


Trey only comes around when it's time to eat!
On this occasion, he had piece of cherry pie and a glass (jar) of chocolate milk!

Sundays are church days! 
I took her to the nursery during church. She had pulled her little ponytail out of her hair, so she looked a little unkept, ha!
She would rather play in the crate than with the toys!

And every Sunday after church we eat lunch at my parents' house. Wrenley loves her playhouse at their house. She talked Trey and Maggie into playing with her :) Anything for Wrenley!!
Just look at that smile :)

It was a nice, relaxing weekend. We made it through the first (and hopefully the last) TikTok ban! That was a long 12 hours! Thanks to President Trump for lifting the ban :)

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Much Love,
Beth

Friday Favorites

  Happy Friday, friends! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday favorites. And here they are in no particular order: Last week our preacher told us that he had a surprise for us next week.  I had honestly forgotten about it until Carl mentioned at lunch on Sunday.  Trey said he knew what it was, but he wasn't telling.  It still didn't occur to me what it could be until we arrived at church on Sunday night, and I saw that Trey had a notebook along with his Bible sitting next to him on our pew.  It was him. Trey was the surprise.  He gave a short devotion before our Business Meeting.  He did well, considering it was his first time.  He said the congregation was a lot scarier when you are the one being stared at! This is a big deal because about 7 months ago he realized that he needed Jesus as his Savior.  And that came after about 7 months of me worrying about him, while he was trying to stretch hi...

Friday Favorites

  Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for the first Friday Favorites of 2025! Over the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend more time with Wrenley. She is growing up so much. She is speaking in full sentences and is a clown to boot! We've enjoyed lots of naps in BeBe's bed, playing with baby dolls (one of her favorite things), and since I have to pick her up before 7 a.m. on the days she stays with me, we enjoy getting her favorites: donuts (nonuts) and hotcakes from McDonald's -not at the same time though! Snug as a bug in a rug! She loves her Ky Ky Another favorite is a clean kitchen! We have had our house in a bit of chaos like I'm sure everyone else has with all the holiday festivities (and with Carl being off). I am glad to have everything in its proper place! That ray of sunshine is therapy for my soul! The next thing on my favorites list is Carl's chili. We had it last night and will probably have leftovers for a few day...

Friday Favorites

 Happy January 74th! Ok but really, why does January seem to go on FOREVER?! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites! This was definitely a favorite moment from this week!  Our 47th President, Donald J. Trump! Since Monday was also MLK day, I had the pleasure of watching sweet Wrenley.  Celebrating my niece, Ellie Kate's 15th birthday was definitely a favorite! I also watched Wrenley on Wednesday because she was a little under the weather. She had fun playing and getting lots of ice cream and popsicles! Wrenley will always be my favorite. On this day she wanted to "work" like BeBe. She's so precious, even with her little bedhead! Good Music is a favorite. Play some old-school country music and we are golden :) My favorite meal this week. It seems like forever since I made a home-cooked meal! Cajun baked chicken, corn (because Trey loves corn), broccoli, mashed potatoes with white gravy, and rolls were on the menu, and every...
