The weekend

After having a very successful Thursday and getting all my work done. I decided to take Friday off work and make Bailey's 10th birthday cake. Mad Hatter is the theme and the child is ten. This was my first attempt at a tipsy turvy cake and it turned out ok but needs improvement!!! Bobby Sue and her friend KK got to the house around 7 p.m. and we got to spend a little time together.

On Saturday morning Darrin and I drove to Talking Rock, GA to see Maria and Dad for Valentines day. We went for dinner and got to talk with Dad and Maria. Dad is on a new drug for the cancer. It causes hoarseness and he has lost his voice mostly. It is encouraging that some of the outward signs of the cancer are going away. Tells me that the new drug is doing what it is designed to do. We stayed the night and got up in the morning and Maria made us breakfast including bacon (she is vegetarian). So that was cool even though she didn't understand it needed to be hot or at least warm.

We drove back on Sunday morning and I went to set up my tent for the Freze-out. Darrin then took me to dinner and we watched the Dayton 500. We ate at Indago Joes. After that I went to church and hung with the kids and got to spend time with Kati Ann. Then we all left the church and went to the camp site and built a big fire and just hung out. the students all played capture the flag. While they were playing we put the Christmas tree on the fire and it was so cool how it just blew up. It was a hot fire!!!

The students all went to bed at midnight Diana, Lindsy, Kenny and I just hung by the fire for a while to get it to die down and then we went to our tents. I dozed here and there but it was to cold to sleep. 28 degrees overnight. At 6 a.m. I got up and went inside for a minute and we (two girls) then went back out and built a fire.
