This weekend was beautiful!  It was warm!  We wore shorts!  We frolicked outside!

Today it is cold.  It is snowing.  We are bundled up.  It bites ass.

This should be a fun week, though, regardless of the weather.  My Mom turns 70 tomorrow, and we are going out for a nice dinner.  Then Wednesday night,  Lonny and I are going to a party, and ,of course, Thurday is Thanksgiving.  On some years my Mom's birthday falls on Thanksgiving Day, which I would hate if I were her.  It's bad enough to grow older, but then you have to bear all of the turkey jokes, too. Plus, with all that food around, she usually doesn't get a special cake.  We just stick a candle in the pumpkin pie and call it another year. 

My weekend was very uneventful, but at least the weather was nice.  At church yesterday, my Mom had to say a small part during a choir program, and the last line was "with dignity and grace".  My daughter practically yelled "Mom~ Grandma's up there talking about YOU!"  Everyone around us cracked up.  It was one of those  kids-say-the-darndest-things moments.  Not an embarrassing one, like the last time she was loud when she informed me, and everyone else, that she didn't like the prayer at church because it was too boring.   Ahh the joy of children.
