A little late updating about the "Parent's Weekend" last weekend, at OSU....so, here goes.  Since it was storming Friday night, with a threat of tornadoes, I decided to wait and head to Stillwater early the next morning.  More storms, more rain, lots of flooding, however, I left here by 7:00 a.m., and made it to Stillwater safely. 

Morgy and I had a great day!!  We had lots of fun going to a craft show and a fashion show at the student union.  We're not real big on fashion shows, but, there was a free swag bag involved, so, we endured.  :)  We also visited the campus greenhouse, which was having a sale on some gorgeous plants.  Of course, I had to buy a couple!

Afterwards, we went to an antique store downtown ( Morgan's suggestion), Hobby Lobby, Wal-Mart, and of course, to eat at Eskimo Joe's and buy the new teacher and Special Olympics t-shirts!!  We had an extremely busy, fun day, but, I think I wore Morgy out!  She was still sick, of course, so, instead of spending the night with her, I decided to go on home.  I know she needed to rest and she would feel like she needed to entertain me if I stayed.

Fast forward to this weekend.  I pretty much finished my flower beds, planting, etc.  However, I do need maybe one or two more bags of red mulch.  But, it already looks WAY better than it did a couple of weeks ago.  I finally got my jalapenos, bell peppers, mint, cilantro, parsley, and peonies planted!!!  My yard looks great, if I do say so myself!!  I had some help with weed-eating and mowing though.  My son and daughter-in-law did all of that while I was at work Friday!! 

My grandbaby spent the night with me Friday night!  His first overnight sleepover, EVER!!!  :)  He was SO good.  He's such a cute, little sweetie!  He didn't cry at bedtime, nor, in the morning, when he woke up and discovered that he wasn't with mom and dad!  Then, I kept him most of the day Saturday, and a little while this morning, so his mom and dad could get some packing done.  They only have a few weeks left before their big move.  Then, I will be here in my little corner of the world, all by myself.  :(  Just listen to me pout and whine!!  Not a pretty sight, eh?   Not looking forward to it.  I try not to think of it too much.  I'm glad it will be closer to the end of school, so, hopefullly, I won't be mourning too much at school!!  I'm completely happy and excited for them, getting to build a brand new, beautiful house, just feeling very sad for myself. I'm going to miss them terribly.  I won't be able to walk over and see little Jakob whenever I take the notion too.  I won't hear his little hands knocking on my front door.  I miss him already.  I see lots of trips to Owasso in my future.  It's only thirty minutes away, but, right now seems like a million miles away.
