Home Again, Home Again...Jiggety Jig!

I'm back home from my North Georgia girl's weekend! It was me, my sister, my mom and my grandmother. They stayed til today (I'm so jealous) but I came home yesterday. We went up to a cabin in Blue Ridge, Ga which turned out to be great. It was just as nice as the one where we stayed last year.
Here we are while out shopping in downtown Blue Ridge.
I am the eldest (by only 2 1/2 years) but she is the tallest (by no less than 6 inches!). We had a nice lunch at The Blue Ridge Brewery...
And a little dessert later after doing some walking. I was excited because this was my second shop that had competed on Cupcake Wars.
We all got cupcakes except my grandmother who decided on a caramel apple. Mine was very yummy.
We then returned to the cabin...
where my grandmother patiently taught us how to play canasta...
and my sister and I later chose to hang out in the hot tub to enjoy the view.
(This was actually a view from earlier in the day but I forgot to take one at night!) All in all a wonderful, albeit short, weekend. Next year I'm going to figure out some way for someone else to take the kids to school so I can stay one more night. Hope you all had a nice weekend!

And We'll Have Fun, Fun, Fun....!!!

Had a great day Saturday! My parents came up to see my son play baseball and their team won. Then we just spent a lazy day hanging out until my mom and I made a quick trip to the dollar store and to the grocery store. Pita and hummus, then baby back ribs, salad, and grilled yellow squash for dinner...yummy! Then apple pie a la mode to top off the day. Can't beat that!
And if this past weekend wasn't good enough, this coming weekend is our new annual "Girl's Weekend!" Last year my sister rented a cabin in the mountains for us (me, my sister, my mom, and my grandmother) to hang out for the weekend. It was a wonderful weekend away from responsibility and this coming weekend will be yet another.


This is a look up at the cabin we'll be staying at this time. And in the mornings we'll wake up to this.

I can't wait! It's so nice to be able to spend time with my mom, sis and grandmother. Just the gals!
