Well folks, I'm back from my weekend away with the girls. I'm sure you missed me greatly. (jk) It was a wonderful weekend filled with lots mini adventures and of course, photos. The only down side, was that I smashed my knee into my friends coffee table while on the run for my camera. =) I knew my photo obsession would get me into trouble one of these days! It was pretty freakin'painful yesterday, but so far today it seems a bit better. I'm hopeful anyway.

On Friday night we went over to f_hilo's place. mudheadpuddle and planetpla made some delicious chili, we also had baked potatoes (yum) and some orange type of cake for dessert. After the food we learned how to play Texas hold em, without actual money of course. It was a good time, a definite learning experience. :) I don't think I will ever play for money. I did ok, but I wouldn't be willing to risk it.

Other than that, we had a nice family dinner on Saturday. One of my brothers and his wife couldn't make it which was unfortunate, but we still had a good turn out. It's good to take time to spend with family. I'm trying not to take them for granted as much as I used to. I thought my Grandmother was such a feisty lady and would live quite some time. She died on New years day this year after having only been in the hospital less than a week. You just never know what will happen. Anyway, I'm trying to make the most of the time I have with them. It was a nice weekend. I hope yours was too.
