Weekend Report

Well, where do I start?

Last weekend we ended up down at the river trying to catch some fish. MArtin's friend Jim came over with his son Kirby and a friend. We all trekked down the path to the Nooksack hoping for some dinner. Unfortunatly the only one who caught anything was me, on the first cast no doubt. It was feisty and after having instructions shouted at me on how to pull it in, then put it back into the water so it wouldn't die, not to hold the rod but the line, etc. I sweetly asked my husband to take a photo. So he did, and a good thing too, since the darn fish thrashed so hard it snapped the line and took the lucky lure with it into the river. So that's all we have, a photo, no fish for dinner....

I spent the weekend at an overnight crop with some girls from the store. It was a blast. I got way more done than I thought and even won the grand prize to boot. Well, technically my Survivor tribe won the contest and then Cheryl, the organizer, drew my name for the grand prize. Thanks girls you rock.

Then today I finally managed to finagle husband and step-son into a family outing to the pumpkin patch. Except when we got there the sign said CLOSED! What's up with that? We weren't the only ones that had to turn around and head back home...strange!

So instead we spent the day going out to the Rusty Wagon for breakfast, napping, mowing some lawn, washing trucks, scrapping and watching lots and lots of football.

Dancing with the STARS! (or not...)

We had our first Salsa dance lesson yesterday and I must say it was quite different than what I expected...

There were of course way more women than men and that resulted in my dancing with quite a few female partners. Interesting. It was also interesting to observe my husband dancing with some women and girls that he did not know and to watch his reaction to that... Our friends Troy and Aubrey joined us for the class (well, we bought them the lessons as a Christmas Gift, so they had little choice! LOL). Troy is not very comfortable and he had sweaty palms all night. ;)

At the end of the 1 1/2 hour session we had learned the basic step and a spin. So now we just need to practice.

Today Martin & I are off to visit a local spa/hotel for the night. Last year at the Mighty Max Crop hosted by Treasury of Memories, (there will be one in April again this year!), I won a raffle for a free overnight stay with two massages and breakfast. So we are heading off to be pampered and hopefully relaxed by the time we return to the real world tomorrow afternoon.
