A Weekend of FUN.

Friday after work Needles and I began the trek South to the promise land. We arrived shortly after 5:30pm and were greeted by warm smiles , a warm home and warm beef and veggies in the crock pot. We sat and visited for about an hour until we enjoyed our supper meal graciously prepared by our hosts. The food, conversation and entertainment worked too hard at shortening what was left of the evening and soon it was time to turn in. Saturday we started off with coffee, apple and banana nut muffins and fruit for breakfast we enjoyed each others company, a couple of open houses and then the call of Japanese food stirred us into action. After we fill our bellies with some of Shoguns finest a visit to Target and a few other stores to walk off some of the food. While in Target we warmed ourselves with coffee from Star Bucks since the temperature was hovering in the teens. When we returned home we conversed about future plans for vacation and enjoyed each others company. After warm potato soup, just the things to warm chilled bones, a fierce game of Trivial Pursuit (battle of the sexes) erupted. The MEN were victorious in their supreme mental skills that will unquestionably become legendary in time. We stayed up late into the night but blurry eyes and yawns hinted at it was time to retire. Sunday morning we awoke to scrambled eggs and turkey bacon with biscuit and jelly on the side. We sat and talked about the goings on in our lives and before long Lunch was upon us. Cynical wanted to try a new place for pizza. The place was called Roca Barr and the pizza wasn't bad. We ordered two 12" pizzas and when we left all that was left was full stomachs. We returned to their home and lounged until it was decided to make a run for Chinese take out for supper. The portions were too large to finish in one sitting so we saved it for later. Later that night a Euchre game broke out and after a brief refresher session for us all the game was on. I have to say Ragged and Cynical played well and the out breaks of laughter during the game made it hard to keep score as the games bounced back a forth. After the games we went back into the living room and chatted until bedtime. This morning we enjoyed cinnamon rolls for breakfast and visited as much as we could knowing that in a couple of hours it would be time for Needles and I to return home. We put off getting packed up to leave as long as we could but knew it was time. We hugged our hosts of the last 3 days and thanked them for having us. It was now time to return home. Thanks again guys. We had fun and way too much to eat.
