Wild Weekend.

Tietjens LOVE weekends.  The planning begins

on Wednesday - for ALL of us!!!  The boys begin

reporting in on their plethora of activity and I 

fill in the holes with my goings on!  This weekend

was no exception.  None of us were able to put 

a comprehendible sentence together by Sunday

evening.  That.is.just.the.way.we.like.it.

This weekend we:

*put over 300 miles on my car

(just around town, mind you)

*visited the Grandy in the hospital

six times 

*played music in the car REALLY

loud with Uncle Jeffy

*drove to Tule Springs and back

four times

*ate Taco Bell three times

*made blueberry pancakes

*had Sam's possie over for a

sleepover on Saturday

*went to see Luke's amazing

friend Faith in the 3-hour

long Wizard of Oz play

twice

*Had friends over to play

cards

*Talked to new friends who

stopped by our home until

2 in the morning

*Went through two cases of

water

*Ate two bags of Tootsie Rolls

*Ate cereal in bed . . . on Sunday

night . . . a tradition

Thankful that we have so many blessings

and friends that fill our weekends.  Truthfully,

since our sweet Dad went to Heaven, this

is just about the ONLY way we can

fill the emptiness of those darn weekends.

Empty weekends turn pretty darn miserable

around our house . . . 

Just look at how much we have to do

to replace our wonderful Dad in our home!

I clicked the heels of my ruby slippers together

over and over.  Our Dad is still in Heaven.

We are learning our new normal.

We are forever grateful to friends who fill

our moments . . . They are amazingly 

wonderful!  Quite simply, we would be

sunk without them.

Off to bed.  We have Monday and Tuesday

then we will start planning for next

weekend.  Cheaper than rehab I suppose!!
