Girls' Afternoon At The Mall

Thank you to everyone for the comments in my entries on Julie.  I really appreciate them.  I still don't know what the arrangements are, but I expect a memorial service next week.  My mother will let me know.

My daughter is with a group of friends at the mall!!  She was so excited to be invited.  This is her first mall-roaming trip with friends without me!

Two of my nieces-in-law (married to Thomas' nephews) invited her to be a part of a group they're taking shopping today.  Leah's daughter M is 14, Bonnie's daughter M is 13, and Eler Beth is 12.  Three other friends are going with them, "almost" 12, 13, and 15.  The two moms will be there, but they'll try to stay in the background as much as possible as the girls take the mall by storm.

I thought Eler Beth was never going to go to bed last night she was so excited.  She has some money saved up, and she asked me if I'd "loan" her a bit more.  Don't worry, I made sure she has enough to indulge a bit.  She spent quite a bit of time on her hair getting ready today, and, believe it or not, we acually had to go out to get her a new outfit this morning to wear shopping this afternoon!!  They took off about 3 p.m., and I don't expect them back until around 8.  They're going to get something to eat somewhere.  She hasn't called me, so I guess all is well.

I thought about joining them for dinner, but I'm just feeling kind of tired and blah, and home is really where I want to be right now. 

We have had a fairly nice week weather-wise.  The weather reports have threatened us with rain every day, but aside from a few drops here and there, it has passed us by.  So I've had to water my flowers and plants every day.  Today is a bit steamy.

Well, I'm going to read a few journals now.  I hope everyone is having a nice weekend wherever you are.

Thank you Donna for the beautiful graphics!
