I had a good weekend. 

Beth came over Friday night. She brought the fixings to make spaghetti, so we had supper and then watched "Bad Moms" together. We laughed a lot. And she spent the night, so we got up the next morning and went to Waffle House for breakfast. 

~Noah, something about girl gossip. The hike. 

Tyler and I went Saturday and got his hair cut and we did our grocery shopping for the week. Saturday night we went to the fair with John and Noah. 

~ John, as we sat on a bench talking and watching the boys as they waited  in line for a ride, re: Tyler, "and a kid that I love." 

Noah spent Saturday night with us and we got up Sunday and went to Graham Creek preserve and Beth went with us. We had a picnic and took the two mile hike. It was fun, but I wouldn't drag the whole family over there. The hiking trail is more like a farmer's roads around the edge of his fields. Beth said it was like we'd run out of gas and were walking to the gas station. ;-) But, we did see some pitcher plants. 

I did a lot of just hanging loose this weekend. Just messing around on Facebook, and not really doing much of anything. 

Annette and Brittany finished their race in Texas. 

Beverly got to have a massage at JeJung spa and she enjoyed hers as much as I enjoyed mine. 

Daddy called just as we were starting our hike Sunday, so Tyler, Noah and Beth all got to talk to him.

Beth said she thinks we ought to go cook Thanksgiving dinner for them. 

Just standing back and watching Noah and Tyler walk the hike, talk at the fair...

I sailed in to this weekend from a week that had gone much closer to plan than any week prior to that. Writing and Community both had their days. I didn't do any HH bookkeeping, and I hadn't done much exercise, so I included them in the weekend as a way to give this week its best chance. It made me feel good to get the mail open and the bills paid, and I enjoyed the few hours I spent in the yard. Also, I liked the way things looked when I finished. So I just feel pretty good about my life right now, at least with respect to my pulling together pieces that matter to me at this point. 

Morgan had a luncheon Saturday to formally ask her bridesmaids to be in her wedding. Buffy Covington and I got to visit with each other a little bit. She, Beth, Dana and I all sat at the same end of the table and just had a good, friendly visit. 

I have some pictures and Morgan's words in the Facebook Joy Journal. 

Amber was there, so I got to see her and visit with her a little bit. 

Chelsea came over last night and so we got to play with Jaden for a little bit. 

Tori came over and visited with us for a little while and she set Barry's new fitbit up for him. We played a game of nine's and she beat me. 

We got to go to Noah's archery tournament Friday night. Chris and Tyler went with us. I have some pictures. 

Noah tap tap taps us when he hugs and Barry told Tyler he needed to take lessons from Noah. So then Tyler came back to tap-tap-tap. I told him that wasn't necessary, they were all unique. 

Brittany asked Morgan if she was doing anything Saturday night, and Britt said he sounded kind of like she needed to do something. I loved that Britt asked, and that Morgan understood. 

I talked to Johnny and Kim, Saturday I think, as they were driving back to Vero. 

Noah is just getting so tall and had that whole grown-up thing going on with him. Not elementary school anymore.
