what did YOU do this weekend?

[wolf]

This weekend was more about what I didn't do.

Friend invited me to go with her and her mom to new "casino" (slots parlor) in Chester on Saturday. Ultimately decided not to go, but that I would join them on Sunday because they were going to go to a new Italian restaurant that I liked.

There was a cookout I was invited to on Sunday, which happened to be just down the street from the Italian Restaurant. Great deal. Hang out with friends at BBQ, then tool on over to the restaurant at around 5.

Call friend to set up time for Italian restaurant. "Oh, gee, we went last night. The restaurant was too expensive at the Casino, so we went to the new Italian restaurant."

"You mean the restaurant that we are going to tonight, that one?"

"Oh. Oops." Followed by long list of things she and her mother are doing tonight before they will think about going to dinner.

"You go on and do that. I have a party to go to that I was going to leave to meet up with you, but I'm just going to stay, now."

I ended up having a fantastic time at the BBQ, great burgers and ribs, and conversation. And a phone call from my friend at around 8 o'clock, when I was too many burgers and beers into my enjoyment to want to leave. "Mom and I are going to Applebees ..."

She obviously hadn't listened when I told her that I was going to stay at this other party.

Stopped by this natural ampitheater in northern New Mexico on the way to jump in a lake! The rock formations are so beautiful I thought I might share. This is about 5 miles away from Georgia O'keefe's "Ghost Ranch".
