The weekend...Dogs and Abilene

I haven't blogged in a while. Haven't really been sure what to write about. A lot going on in my head but nothing I have put into writing. I do have to share the following pictures with you though. First, Ed and Einstein came to stay with us for a few days. As you will see below Ed LOVES Owen but unfortunately, Owen is less than thrilled. What I didn't capture on camera is Owen hiding in the garage from Ed peaking out of the doggy door to see if he was gone yet-NOPE, still sitting patiently waiting for Owen to come out! I believe Mike has always wondered about Ed and if he liked boys or girls-the verdict is no longer out...Ed officially is in doggy love with Owen. We have other pictures to prove it! ha

One of the greatest places to stop and get a treat in Abilene is McKays bakery. The thumbprint cookies are wonderful! So yes, on the weekends I venture off my eating plan and relax a little. It was worth it. My granny is so fun to go with us and make a girls afternoon out of it. I used to work at McKays in college and I actually wanted to tell the girls that were working there about it but I figured they didn't care.
This is the swing in my grandparents backyard. When my miscarriage happened my Granny called concerned about me and told me she wished I could sit on her swing and talk with her for a while. It was really sweet and I think I will always remember those words. If you've ever met my Granny I know you love her!
The swing held all three of us but it was uncertain for a minute! This is my grandad joining the picture. I love my grandparents and I was excited to go see them this weekend. They have come here the last couple of years so it was great to go back home to Abilene!
My mom and I took a road trip just the 2 of us. It was a lot of fun and the drive went by fast since we got carried away in conversation.
I know this picture isn't the greatest but I had to capture it. First, they look so happy and my Granny looks beautiful. Second, from as far as I can remember this is what they do when we leave. They don't go back inside or stop waiving until we are out of sight! I have fond memories of this too, and crying to go back and see them. I had a great weekend, thanks granny/grandad.
