Crazy Weekend!

I'm exhausted ... still ... but slowly recovering.

I left mid-morning Thursday for Fargo. I had a bunch of errands to complete (I got them all done!) by noon and then took a friend out for lunch at Green Mill. We visited late into the afternoon. I had one last errand to run and then met my sister for supper at Buffalo Wild Wings. That's her favorite restaurant, so I knew she'd enjoy it. The meals at both restaurants were enjoyed by yours truly - huge treat!

Jules, my sister, and I were both in town for a meeting later that evening. I advise a college women's fraternity, and my sister is joining the group as an advisor, too. It'll be fun to see her about once a month during the college year. We stayed over-night at our brother and SIL's home.

Friday morning, my sis and I shared a breakfast of Chai Tea and McDonald's breakfast biscuits (she's a bacon, egg & cheese ... I prefer sausage, egg, & cheese). Yummy treat for both of us. Afterwards, she headed home and I headed to our homeschool group's booksale for set-up and food prep. The sale began at 3p and lasted until around 7p. I left early to get ready for a birthday meal with my hubby and friends at Santa Lucia's. We had a wonderful time visiting and enjoyed appetizers, salads, main course and desserts. It was my hubby's 40th! The kids stayed at Grandma & Grandpa Green Acres while we treated ourselves to food, friends, and an overnight stay in Fargo.

I'm not a very good blogger ... I brought my camera, but didn't take a single picture. Sometimes the memories are better than a picture.

The book sale continued on Saturday morning, so I headed back over about 8a and Eric headed back to the farm, hopeful that he'd be able to harvest (that was a no-go). The book sale lasted until 1:30;, then the clean-up began. While we sold a LOT of books, there were many left to be sorted and boxed. The clean-up was completed by about 5p. I left and headed to the grocery store for one last errand. I picked up supper for the road and left town about 5:40p. I was very glad to arrive home.

I've been putting my feet up a little, but we are expecting company tomorrow so there's cleaning to be done.
