Whirl Wind Weekend

What a fun but busy weekend!  It might take me all week to recoup.  I loaded the pictures in the wrong order so...we shall start with Sunday and roll backwards.


Sunday afternoon we dropped by my parents for Father's Day.  This is my sweet little mama.  Even though we don't understand a whole lot of what she says, she still has her funny little laugh.

 Mama and me sitting on the couch.  When she was able the backyard, which you see behind us, was ablaze with color.  She has a green thumb and could grow and grow successfully just about anything she planted.  I did not inherit this gift.
 My Dad, me and Mom in front of the usual picture taking spot.
 Mom, Dad and Roy...  I actually used Roy's camera to take the picture.  His camera overwhelms me but he had set it on auto focus, thankfully.
We drove out to Katy afterwards.  We took 90 to 99.  It has been years since we've been on 90 and couldn't believe all the changes.  We passed by the old Imperial Sugar building in Sugar Land.  That is where we turned to go to the farm where we kept my horse way back in the day.  Of course that land has been built on and no horse farm remains.  Even the little road that ran beside the refinery has disappeared.  Now Regal Ranch, that place is still open.  That was surprising. 

This is the one and only window that needs to be installed and progress will resume on the house.  With this delay, we are probably now looking at August for the closing date.

Saturday at 2:00 was the wedding shower for Paige and John.  It was a blast,  It was a display shower and that way they were able to visit with their guests.

Loved your pictures of your mom and dad. Been enjoying the digest of the new house being built and the packing etc.
Waiting for the next chapter/blog on the next developments.
