The weekend
Matt and I celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary Friday. Usually our anniversary weekend is spent at a Razorback football game, but they had an off week. No ballgame, so we decided to go out of town for a few days, just us without the kids. Well, that was a whole ordeal in itself! It really stinks on occasions such as these not have family close enough that can keep the girls without have to plan a week's vacation three months in advance!!! Okay, maybe I exaggerated a little. We had to figure out if I was going to have to take them to my mother who lives about 100 miles away, or if she was going to come up here and stay, all depending on her work schedule. But then she really wanted to go to Oklahoma this weekend and see my nephew play college football. So then we checked with Matt's sister and she said she could come stay with them but she can't leave until 3:30, which would put her getting here about 5:00. So who's going to pick the girls up from school if we decide to leave early Friday?? Can you see where I'm going with this!! Anyway all that worked out. But then we had to decide to where we were going. There are several places that I would like to go, but we only had two days and we weren't taking the girls. I would have liked to have gone to Memphis, but then I thought the girls would enjoy that trip, going to the zoo and maybe Graceland. Then I thought about going to a B&B in Mountain Home, never been there. But my husband was too worried about sharing a bathroom with someone else or not having cable TV that I knew I would not enjoy myself! So we ended up staying at the Hampton Inn in Hot Springs. No frills! I was hoping my weekend be uneventful and restful. And it was to an extent, but wasn't really what I had in mind. We did go down to Bathhouse Row and get a massage Saturday. And we did go to Dillards Friday night and bought me two new bathing suits at 75 percent off!! All and all we had a good weekend, but I've decided our personalities are just too opposite (and since opposites attract, I guess that's how we've made it 17 years) to enjoy a weekend completely the way I like it!

Steve and I are total opposites too. For so many years, we never really went anywhere or did anything together because one of us would not be happy. After 30 years we have finally found a few things we can enjoy together, but they don't really lend themselves to a real vacation trip. The only real vacation we ever took together was when the kids were small and we all went to Ft. Walton Beach. We didn't stay long, because that was not something Steve really enjoyed, but he did it for us.
Richard and I tend to be a lot alike in some ways and so opposite in others. He's a slob and I'm constantly picking up behind him, but when it comes to going and doing stuff together we love it. We take day trips a lot to wherever interest us at that moment and our trips out of state have been great because we usually like to do the same stuff.
Anytime your in a pickle with the girls you are more than welcome to call us and we would be glad to keep them entertained for ya. I think your beautiful lil red head is the same age as my sisters youngest or close.
Glad your trip to Hot Springs was good.
