Memorial Day Weekend

We made a last minute decision to celebrate Memorial Day weekend by packing up and heading to Dallas. We met up with several of our old friends throughout the weekend. We met Dawn and Jerry on Friday night and ate at one of our favorite local Mexican restaurants. Saturday, we visited Megan and David along their kiddos at their new home in Fort Worth. Then we met up with Kurt and Holly for dinner at a really nice restaurant in Sundance Square. They are recent parents of twins and are expecting another baby in November. We pretty much ate and ate and ate some more! We also made a little time for a movie. I always tell people one thing I miss about Dallas is that the movie theaters have a popcorn buttering station and for someone who loves to drown their popcorn in butter, this is an essential feature for any movie theater. The ones here are missing the boat! We had a great time on our last minute trip!!!

Nine and Dine

We played in a couple’s golf group called “nine and dine,” and were paired with our friends, Trey & Brandie. She is expecting a baby the first of January and can still swing a club! I think I bring out the worst in Jason’s golf game, but we still enjoy getting out on the greens with friends!

Bee, Bee, Don't sting me!!!

Saturday morning Jason noticed some new residents that had taken it upon themselves to build a bee nest in one of our columns on the front entry. He sprayed them yesterday, but we really doused them today by taking turns in our “bee suits.” I hope we got them all and we don’t have to get an actual bee man to come and take care of the problem!!!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Happy Mother’s Day to our wonderful moms! We love you both very much and appreciate all you have done and continue to do throughout the years!!!

Cinco de Mayo

Jason and I hosted our third annual Cinco de Mayo party on Saturday. When we moved to Arkansas from Texas we were surprised that this is something that really isn’t recognized here. Because we basically lived most of our adult lives in Dallas, this was all over the place and we decided to expose our new friends to the holiday. We had a total of 45 guests. We served a fajita buffet (it was catered; I wouldn’t dare attempt to cook for 45 people) that was so tasty. I had the bar set up as the “fixings” area for cheese, sour cream, guacamole, sour cream, chips, cheese dip, salsa, etc. We also had a cookie bar which I let run out and didn’t refill at any point in the evening. We had a great time with everyone and look forward to next year’s celebration!
