I made it home from the Siesta Fiesta with a definite accent envy (though I'm pretty sure I was one of those "northern girls" trying to talk with a southern accent someone--can't remember who--mentioned...it just comes out the more you hang with those "southern girls"!), a propensity to say ya'll in every sentence, and a beautiful inheritance.
More on all that soon. I've been out having fun with Toben all day to celebrate his birthday a couple of days late. We went to lunch and to the Bass Pro Shops for bullets. Big birthday fun! That and grocery shopping.
I am downloading photos as we speak and will post at length about the weekend, but the laundry is calling and it's getting louder by the minute.
Look at this thing...
...it has a setting called "Pleading Chicken." What the heck?! Who hunts chickens? And what do they plead? "Don't kill me!"
And imagine my distress when I realized that instead of the black/chrome crockpot I just bought, I could have had a camo one!
I love the shooting range, but I must say the sights on the two guns I tried were way off.
P.S. I did kill that darn rattlesnake at the shooting range!
Joanne,
I can so relate. We spend all major male holidays at Bass Pro Shop...although ours is for fish and boating gear.
I had a great time with you as well. I will never hear "Hopelessly Devoted" and not think Tiara clad Pink Cowboy hats!
Blessings and hugs girl!
Talk to ya'll later ;)
Tammy

I can relate... but we're there for the fishing/boating stuff, too. Looks like Toben had a great belated birthday with his favorite girl.
Can hardly wait to hear what all I missed in San Antonio this weekend!
Blessings!

Sad but true...we make an annual trek to the Bass Pro Shop every Thanksgiving Day. If they were open on Christmas Day (the one day a year that they are closed) we would probably be there then, too.
Can't wait to hear your take on SA. Still daggum mad I couldn't be there!

I totally KNEW we would get along splendidly! I LOVE to shoot guns! (I don't have the opportunity to do it very often...)
I miss you girl! Thank God we still have blogs!

Um...unlike the others, I can't say I relate. However, it looked like a ton of fun. And...it was Toben's b'day. Not like he'd want to go to the mall or have his nails done. (er...I hope). :)
