Went to Mertzon this weekend for Mallory's birthday party (she turned 13 on June 27th...I remember it so well, I was there when she was borned!)
As it turned out, I didn't stay for the party, because it was at 4 pm on Sunday, and I had to drive home that afternoon to work on Monday. No, we didn't have the day off. The garbage people did, but not the university...sigh.
But there was plenty going on anyway. The Girl Scouts had a Bingo extravaganza on Saturday, and that night they had a dance. Here is Mally, in the turquoise, dancing with Josie:
Here are Nancy and Saxon (the oldest, he is 14) dancing.
And here is a video of me dancing with Luke (a family friend and most gallant):
He keeps trying to twirl me and I keep going the wrong way. This was hard on my gimpy right shoulder. (I got a new camera, can you tell?)
The good news (I guess!) is that I became convinced through watching this that I absolutely need to get back to Weight Watchers! :) And, can you see my gorgeous blingety necklace and earrings? I won them in bingo.
I am headed back to Mertzon on Friday morning to pick up my parents and we will drive to Houston to see Lucy, (Mother is calling her "Queen Lucy" - do you suppose she expects to spoil the baby or something!), returning Sunday (them to San Angelo and me to Denton)
And THEN, on Thursday of the next week, I'm headed to Florida with Mom and Dad for a few days. They will stay on with Nancy and co. when they arrive.
And then I'm never going anywhere again! (I seem to have said that before...in May. Hmm, a slow learner!)
So, off to meet the day.
