Weekend Update

"...Jane, you ignorant slut..." LOL. Wow, that's an old reference. Moving on...

Had a lovely weekend! I jaunted up to Dallas and hung out a bit with my aunt, uncle and grandfather. My great aunt met us all for lunch and we did a lot of catching up. My grandpa is 92 and still sharp as a tack. And so funny!

Then I met Donna and the girls at a sports bar called Brackets, where I was able to catch the end of the Patriots game (woohoo!) and we played table shuffleboard. We had dinner at Nosh Euro Bistro (and watched the Giants win- woohoo!) and hung out at the Palomar hotel the rest of the night. It was great to see them! Fun group.
