Last Sunday!

How are all my sweethearts this  hot but beautiful Sunday. We are in the 90's here right now so I have excuse to be inside with my feet propped up writing you.

So tell me if you tried the cobbler from the previous post and if it was not soooo good! I can not make this again unless I have several people to help me eat it. OMGosh I have gained five pounds in a weeks time.

Look at this beautiful table setting that greeted me last Sunday for Mother's Day and my Birthday when I came down the stairs in Chad's home. Talk about being pampered the whole weekend was that way.

He made the most delicious french toast, quiche, sausage and in the big bowls were the berries we picked the day before. I felt like I was in a nice hotel having brunch. 

Chad's home is beautiful and decorated out of this world. Here he and Christi are in the kitchen. We were waiting on my surprise guest for the day. So without further a due I will show and tell you who came to spend the marvelous day with us.

Remember my sweet adorable Gretchen? She lived in the pink house for a year while she wrote her screen plays. Then she went to Kentucky for 9 months to help her mother through Breast Cancer and now she lives in Austin. Still as precious as ever and the little actor she is I could not take a picture of her without some really weird faces as you can see from the one above. I warned her I was going to post them anyway! This was taken before she even drank her Mimosa that Chad served us for brunch.

Isn't this a cute picture of her and Christi. We teased her about being even taller than she was the last time we saw her so she is bending down to Christi's height. 

After the best brunch ever they all took me to the movies. Since I had read all the Hunger Game books we saw the movie. I was actually surprised at how good they did the movie. Usually the movies are no where near as good as the books.

Of course besides visiting I opened up more gifts for my special day. As always my babies always give me way way too much. One gift that Chad and Christi gave me that I find myself wanting to put them on early every night is a new pair of pj's. Talk about comfy. I could live in these. They also gave me a beautiful pair of   ear rings and bracelet to match along with a gift certificates.

Gretchen also brought me a sweet gift. She got the funnest cup that says Your Never to Old to do something Stupid! How well this girl knows me. While in England last month for graduate school she brought me back a gorgeous card to frame. I love it.

One of the funnest gifts I opened that day was a pretty pink bag that was wrapped so pretty and really heavy. Christi told me it was from her best friend Andrea. Well sweet Andrea had just had a baby that I have been wanting to do a post about so for her to take the time to get me a gift was really sweet.  I opened it up and died laughing. It was a six pack of my favorite Drink Diet Dr. Pepper and would you believe more lotto tickets. hahahaha

While we are on presents I received the loveliest bottle for my dressing table from Marydon. I tell you Marydon as you all know is the best friend in the world. She has been going through so much but takes the time to send me several Birthday cards and a gift. What a lovely friend to have found out here in this huge friendly world of Blogging. Thank you honey I love the gift. Every time I try to take a picture of the bottle you can't see anything but a bright light where the bottle is sitting. I will keep trying and put it on here one day.

I had to take a few pictures of Chad's home while he was cleaning the kitchen. I know it's bad to go around and snap pictures but he gave me the okay. Here is the walls going upstairs.

I fell in love with these pictures. He had changed his walls since the last time I visited.

My favorite were these two!

One day I will have to take pictures of the guest room I stayed in. It was so lovely and comfy I wanted to move in. lol

Gretchen wanted me to follow her to a coffee shop for an hour before I headed back home so we could have some Gretchen and Maggie time. Of course I went and had the best time catching up with her.
We of course talked writing and about her classes she is taking just out of London.

She wants to move back into the pink house so badly because she loved it out here but as I mentioned last year when she was taking acting classes in Austin she fell in love with one of the other actors. He is drop dead gorgeous and I call him hottie. Well not to his face. So since she is in love she moved to Austin to be closer to him and her acting classes.

We planned a weekend real soon for her to come out and spend the weekend. So that I am very much looking forward too.

If you read all my post about my Mother's Day and Birthday then you do love me. lol I think I am through posting about the fab weekend but I could just go on and on at how much trouble the kids went to to entertain their mom.  I feel like I am leaving something out about my stay at Chad's but can't think just now what it is. lol Remember now I am a whole year older so expect even stranger things this year.

I liked that my birthday fell on Mother's Day because it helped with not thinking of me getting old. But then I still have my mirrors that greet me every morning when I brush my teeth and put on make up. Maybe I should learn how to do those things with out mirrors. Especially take out that huge one in the bathroom that is toooooo close to the claw foot tub. I had to laugh at this friend of my brothers when we had his big birthday party out here everyone had to come to my house to use the restrooms because no one wanted to use the out houses except for a few men. His one friend that we went to high school ask me if the tub was just for decoration. I looked at her kind of funny and told her I hope not because I have been using it every  day. lol

Okay  let me get off here. I am waiting on the temps to drop to the 80's so I can mow my little yard inside the picket fence. It doesn't take long but while I am out there I need to blow off the porch and spread some Snake Away around and some stuff to repel gofers, moles or armadillo's that are digging bucket size holes in the yard. I am figuring it is a dumb armadillo and this stuff probably won't work on him. I need a trap but don't have one and yes I am probably the only person living in the country without one.

Take care dear friends and know that there is an ole lady somewhere in the state of Texas who loves you!

Love to all
Maggie

PS
Whole time I was typing this post I would find while typing all of sudden the word I was typing would be
in another part of my post messing up what I had already typed. I sure hope this is blogger and not my keyboard. Can't have my keyboard messing up on me I love it.
So if you see some sentences that don't make sense other than normal you will know what happened.

Oh and Sorry Gretchen if you see this pic of you at the table but girlfriend you just don't behave when the camera is on you. lol
