Since 1995, my Sister has come to visit and stay with me for a week each August. LOTS OF GIRL TALK. We shop the shoppes till we drop. Always having a fun time and coming HOME with the BARGAINS.
Sis's baby, the poodle Bayleejo, spent time at Home Haven.
She loves her momma!
Bayleejo is such a well manner puppy
you hardly know she's around. Sweet like a lamb.
Sis showed us how to crackle our nails!
Husband was kind to puppy sit for us in the evenings so we GIRLS could have a STAY~CATION VACATION in the area.
Lots of Fancy Coffees from Home Haven,
Caribou Coffee, Hard Back Cafe,
Starbucks, Denny's, Deb's, and Mc Donalds!
One of our favorites is to eat soft, hot Pretzels
with a cold drink at the Mall before we shop...
we did...cheese and all. Delicious.
The FUN continues!
Went to a late night movie.
Just us GIRLS.
Laughed.
CRAZY
STUPID

Movie Critique here......there were parts in the movie
that took us by surprise.
LAUGHED.
that took us by surprise.
LAUGHED.
Other parts of the movie are very worldly
and I'd say this film isn't for young children.
and I'd say this film isn't for young children.
Some Adults will find this film offensive due to
Adult Content about adultery and secular dating.
In a nut shell:
Wife loses sight of who she is.
Has affair and wants divorce.
Husband is shelled shocked.
Separate.
He gets schooled on how to date in today's society.
Husband still loves wife and wants to win her back.
The husband is a good father and cares about his family.
Though he has steady employment and a gorgeous house,
he's taken by surprise.

We shopped till my feet ached
and it was challenging for this 'ole Lady to walk.
But it was lots and lots of fun.
Sorry that I didn't have my camera with me
to take snap shots of all our outings.
Daughter and 79 year old Mom joined us part of the time.
And guess what we did?

HAD A FUN BREAK!!!

HOT KANSAS WEEK

ps
Did my best to park the car under shade trees.
Not much luck finding shade on these hot days
when in parking lots.
Cracking the car windows just a bit
helps release the heat build up inside of the car.
Lord, Thank you for air conditioning, loving Husbands
and Sisters that come to visit.
