Great weekend

I am a true east coaster. Everyone this weekend was complaining about the rain, and I was excited. It was my first weekend off (not teaching) and I was ready to do things at the house. I was also fighting a HORRIBLE EYE infection (I spared you those photos) and I was waiting for my meds to kick in. Just imagine itching your eyelids so badly. No idea from what, but the drugs are finally working! So, it was my weekend to get my to do list done. And I did a lot of it. My mom's quilt!! FINISHED!! I blogged it awhile ago, and now it is finished. Ready for the bed this Christmas season .. whew.. it was a monster king and I am glad to be done with it.

I did not photo shop these at all so you could see the skies. The storm/rain was coming (yes I walked Xena early)

After the rain.. the thing was almost in our backyard! It lasted only a few minutes but it was so cool.. Larry showed Zack and when Zack asked who made it Larry said "God". Zack's response..
"wow he is really cool!"..

Care packages for our friends who are deployed. This did not help my weight watchers at all. They are so good.. And there was no chocolate.. I gave that up for lent.. Let me tell you I don't know why. It's everywhere this time of year. UGH.. But it does have white chocolate.. and that is not really chocolate. I asked 12 women and they all agreed. If you don't I don't want to hear your opinion (sorry.. I ate a few.. lol)
