Good Weekend

Saturday was a fun day. We spent it running around shopping for our fence. I am happy to say that we accidentally found a place we never heard of and to top it off they were having an annual sale that day so we got 10% off! We weren't so lucky to find such a good deal on salt water aquariums though. We decided we'll get just a tank and stand with canopy to start and work our way up. Yes, salt water aquariums can be a very expensive hobby, but so worth it in the long run. I can't wait to see what it will look like after we start putting live rock and fish in it!

We stopped to feed the ducks out by where Charlie works. And of course with that came the seagulls. They are vicious! Even more mean than the geese. Savannah loved it and I think we will make a picnic of it next time.

We ended the day with a delicious Mexican dinner at a new restaurant I've heard of but never went to called Guadalahonky's. Their catch phrase is, "Get gas at Guad's". They had crab enchiladas that turned out better than expected. Charlie being a past chef even complimented them. I was also impressed with their Chili Verde. Mmmm...I love Mexican food!
Sunday we went to my niece's birthday party who is turned 3. Savannah loves birthdays especially for the balloons and cake. She was a little too excited to give MattieJo her present though and unwrapped it as soon as we got in the house. Bear had a fun time too with all those kids to give him attention.

Your daughter has gotten so big. She's beautiful. And crab enchiladas sound really yummy!

I am glad to hear that your phone call with your son didn't ruin your fun weekend. I know you're going through a difficult time, but I think you are handling it very well. You are a strong woman!

Sounds like a great weekend- Savannah is too funny, "pre-opening" the gift for the birthday girl :)
And as for the crab enchiladas...well, you know how I feel about that! Fresh crab is such a treat & we can get pretty good stuff in CA.
Sorry about the Michael stress; you know you are taking the right stand- he needs to pay the consequences of his decisions, sad as that may be. We're there with Jess as well- she'll be homeless by the end of the week, unless she can scare up another friend to help her- she knows it won't be us.
I'm glad you didn't let it ruin your weekend- believe it or not, it gets easier to say "NO!" & sleep at night- takes a while, but it does happen.
