Our busy weekend

This weekend was another fast and furious weekend. Chey was in her first play on Friday. The play was cute and she was awesome (course I'm her mommy), then she went to a birthday / slumber party.. i stayed and did hair, make up and karaoke for the girls.. that was fun.. Curt raced his new mud truck this weekend.. he was so excited.. didn't place but he enjoyed it. I came home and didn't "spring" clean but "school" cleaned.. where you start getting everything in place to get ready for school.. cleaned, washed clothes, cleaned my carpet.. feels good to get it all done.
I have to share with you my experience at the store. A mother with her daughter and grandson were in the store checking out. Their card didn't work for their groceries, the grandmother walked out crying.. the mother with tears in her eyes got her sons hand, held back tears and walked out of the store.. i couldn't stand it.. i had tears in my eyes.. the groceries were already bagged up. So I told the sacker to take the groceries to them outside and I paid for them. They waited outside to thank me (not necessary) there is meaning to the gift of giving.. my heart felt for them and I'm fortunate I was able to do something about it... God bless those who are suffering these days. Let's pray for them.. as you do for me. Love and blessings to you all. Debbie

Sounds like you had a good weekend!
We finally moved into our new house this weekend. The house deal has been so crazy. We closed last week only to be told the next day that the bank that was going to do our loan was shut down by the federal goverment and wasn't funding any of the new loans. So we are actually not even closed on the house we are now living in. I sure hope this gets worked out soon.
That was a really nice thing you did for the people at the store on the weekend. You are such a nice, caring person with such a big heart. It really is a pleasure to know that there really is people out there like you.
