On the first of this month, we went to my parents' house for family dinner. Mom made a fabulous roast dinner with stuffed potatoes, deviled eggs and rolls and some other things I'm forgetting. We brought a spinach salad. We also had two different kinds of king cakes from a really good bakery--pecan praline and strawberry cheesecake. Yum! I love family dinners! :) Here are some pics from that day:

Last week, I drove to Humble, TX on Wed. to visit my friend, Shelly. I've known Shelly since jr. high and we hung out a lot at LSU. She had a baby 3 months ago and it was great to meet him and her husband. They took me to Saltgrass Steak house where I had (what else) an awesome steak and shrimp and loaded baked potato. We got a cheesecake and bread pudding to share between the three of us. SO good! I've been to this place in Dallas after Nikki's first wedding. It was just as good as I remembered it. That night, we watched "The Secret Life of Bees" and cried; it's a great movie!
Thursday, I went with Shelly and Angelo to small claims court; Angelo owns a business and is being sued by a really dumb guy--long story. Shelly and I went and ate at a pizza and pasta place for lunch; we ate outside to enjoy the view of a lake and nice, breezy weather. That night, we went to the grand opening of a Life Fitness gym in their town. It was the biggest gym I have ever seen and I could never have imagined a gym that big. If you've ever seen an Ikea store, it was that big.
I left Friday mid-morning so I could get back before dark and not hit the horrible Baton Rouge traffic. I had such a great time with Shelly and can't wait to visit again. Some pics:
It was an uneventful weekend for me but Jared had to supervise drivers all night at one of the plants both Sat. night and last night because one of the dumb drivers pulled away after unloading his sulphur without unhooking the hose! Poor Jared has to deal with that kind of stuff all the time. I haven't seen him much the past couple of days so I'll be glad when he gets home from work tonight. Love ya', babe!
