This Monday morning is warm and gloomy. Laundry is swirling and Larry is in his office dealing with things. Work things.

Perhaps I did to much this weekend. I am tired and sore. I am waiting for the insurance company to approve my breast cancer treatments. To be honest, that alone is enough to make a person grumpy.

But we had the BEST weekend…..

On Saturday, The Family met for our traditional Pre-Christmas, Nutcracker outing. It was wonderful. At Lunch, I sat and looked around the table at my beautiful family. I felt amazingly blessed.

After lunch, we headed over to the Opera House. Larry and I got stuck in traffic and some how, everyone beat us to the ballet.

The ballet this year was wonderful. Look at the smiles.

After the ballet, we said bye to everyone but found Matilda posing in Downtown Dallas.

We all said bye again and Larry took me to a little place I love. A sweet young couple we know, own a restaurant on Lower Greenville. I love the wings and pizza there, but most of all I love the energy. It was just what I needed.

We were tired, but…..guess what Sunday was? Larry’s birthday. We had plans to go to the Arboretum. But guess who wanted to surprise her Pa? Yes, Matilda! I must say she surprised him big time.

We were waiting for the gardens to open and while sitting there, a Grinchy Matilda ran up and surprised her Pa. It was priceless.

I was tired. Really tired. We went and had salads….and then home…. I went to bed. Larry baked cookies, using my mothers recipe and I then, made him a birthday dinner.

Larry had the best weekend ever. It was one for “The Books”… We hope that yours was special too.

Love you belyond the moon.
