I had planned to stay home today and get caught up around the house but my dad called and needed to buy some new sneakers for our upcoming trip and wanted me to go with him. The sneakers he has are in awful shape and I told him this tour we are taking is 4-5 hours long and he needs good shoes. The shoes he has are 10 years old and he was trying to super glue the soles on them - that's how bad they are! :lol: My mom went along as well but I have to seem to have "babysit" him in making sure he gets good comfortable shoes. My mom just wasn't sure what he should get. I don't mind "babysitting" my parents. They took care of me growing up so it's time for me to look after them! =)

It was funny because I had picked out several for him to try on and after he tried them all on I asked which ones felt the best. He pointed to his old cruddy ones and said, "Those do"! Ha ha! He is so funny!

I don't want anyone to get the image that my parents are not of sound mind. They are independent and can take care of themselves, I just like to help them when I can! I take advantage of any quality time I can get with them too even if it's shopping for shoes! =)

We have purchased tickets for the Level 9 VIP tour at Johnson Space Center in Houston. My dad is going with us and it will be his birthday present from me and Wayne. While we are down there we will probably go to the beach in Galveston. I just love anything regarding space exploration - got it from my dad! :D I can't wait for our mini vacation!

I have not had time to catch up on the post. I hope I didn't miss anything important!

Have a Merry Day my Christmas Friends!

Good morning ~ Happy Friday Eve!
:???:

No contractors at our house this morning ~ 1st time all week! Not sure if they are waiting on siding, or if they are coming later. Guess we'll find out. Gracie got a bath again last night - 2 nights at home - 2 baths! :lol: She just can't stay out of the mud! Our electrician friend was over again last night til 12:30 in the morning. Not sure how he does it. I'm tired & I don't work NEAR as many hours per day/week as he does! I don't think he requires sleep! Lol! Says he's coming back tonight!

I think I'm going to go to the lake tonight to get my ingredients prepped for Cowboy Pizza tomorrow night. We are all bringing toppings for different types of pizzas & making them on the grill. Our neighbor is bringing all the crusts. Should be interesting. Besides the Cowboy Pizza, we are having a Frisch's Big Boy Pizza, bbq chicken pizza & buffalo chicken pizza & whatever anybody else brings! I also bought everything to make "Texas Caviar" for a snacky this weekend. Gotta love a holiday weekend at the lake! Unfortunately there is an 80% chance of rain Sunday! Hopefully that's overnight only! cheesy

Have a great day everyone!!!

Sounds like you have another fun weekend planned! Hope the rain stays away or is at night. It is headed here, for the holiday too. Boo! Have fun!

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

I've been working like a dog this morning. Of course, that consists of keying...but I'm keying feverishly!

I'm looking forward to the 3-day weekend in the cabin, even if my bossy sister-in-law is coming, too. LOL

I beat my co-worker to the punch, and told him I'm taking off the whole week of Thanksgiving for a longer trip to my beloved Smoky Mountains! I'm already dreaming about it.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Hope you have a wonderful time! I'm glad you've been able to request you're time off for November too!

Sounds great!! We'll be there @ 7:30! [emoji2]

We are playing it by ear right now. My Mother-in-law has chemo tomorrow, and depending on how she is feeling this time around, we would love to spend some quality time with her. I was working when she was in town this week, for a different appointment, so I missed her. Quite a phenomenal woman [emoji175]

We also have some dinner plans with friends, and want to go biking on some new trails in the area. And grill out a lot!

Praying that your MIL will feel up to it and you will get to spend time together. Continued prayers for her.
