Weekend Get Away!

Our weekend get away was great, something we all needed! I needed to see my friends, our friends from Texas, met us at the Ozarks, where we stayed with our friends that live in Camdenton, MO. On our little road trip. we ran across this sign on IL Route 72 . We had a travel budget, so going there and back we ate off the dollar menu at McDonalds! You got to love it! The weekend, always seems to end too soon, we always leave on a Friday, and come home on Monday, so we have Saturday and Sunday. We bring food with us so the expense isn't just on one person, and fast to cook, so us girls aren't in the kitchen all day and night! Gas was cheap in Camdenton, Missouri $2.04 a gallon, we left Chicago, and the price was $2.75 a gallon. I'm very glad that they live in the middle between us, 7 hours for us from, Chicago, IL and 8 hours from, Frisco, Texas.

We talked, played games, a new game that we played was " Apples to Apples " this game had us all laughing, we played this game all day taking breaks for dinner and to stretch our legs! Our friends from the Ozarks are in the middle of doing their landscaping for their house, they have a big job a head of them! They had beautiful trees by their driveway, over the 3 years that they have lived there, the trees have died, they had just cut them down on that Thursday. I am going to miss them and their fall colors!

I could sit on her deck all day and watch the birds, in the area, Humming birds, Woodpeckers, and the Blue Bird of Happiness! The Missouri State Bird.

My Stitching

My stitching had suffered this past weekend, I need to catch up and get what I need done! The Wedding gift is coming along well, I am making progress on it.

Have a good day!
