So Thankful it is Saturday!

Happy Saturday to you! I hope yours will be as fun as ours is planned to be. But, you know what they say about the best laid plans of mice and men ....

Here's what we have on the schedule for today ....There will be a little sitting in the yard and just enjoying Houston in the fall. Ya'll it is beautiful out. I have almost forgotten the 110 degrees of the summer ... almost! I have already been out with the dogs this morning. Zoey and I just sat on the little couch and stared at the backyard. Well, I stared. She surveyed her kingdom.
There will be much coffee consumed today. Hopefully from this place. I heart Starbucks. And, a Starbucks coffee drunk from a Christmas cup? Even better!
I will be taking a trip to our local H.E.B. They try to make a trip to the grocery store funner by saying "Here's Everything is Better" ... um, that is not what your store initials stand for. We all know it stands for the name of the founder ... Howard E. Butts. But, you must give it up for their marketing team ... because would you shop in a store with "butts" in the name?

Anyhoo, must go. We have nothing to eat in our house. Nothing at all. I have somehow managed to avoid the grocery store for the past two weeks. Sometimes Torrey being in the play and us being super busy isn't as bad as I think!
I will spend lots of time with this handsome man. And, the $20? Not trying to show off ... we found it and it was a little exciting to us. Some days money does come from heaven!

How will we be spending our day? At the mall (and we all know how much Dean loves the mall on a Saturday!) to get ready for ....
Christmas! This picture is from last year ... we may do things early, but not that early!
And, today we will be missing our girl. Torrey headed out the door early this morning for play practice. Her small group leader at church will be picking her up and taking her and a group of her girlies to a fun day at Kemah and then to a sleepover at her house. We are so thankful for these young ladies who are willing to pour themselves into our girl and at the same time pour into her the love of Jesus ... all the while being cooler than cool. We know she will have a blast!

And, then finally, we will be getting ourselves ready for ...

church tomorrow. Our pastor is leading us through a study of Genesis this year. We are at Noah right now. Good stuff. Really good stuff.

Hope your Saturday is full, too!

HEB actually stands for :"Here everything's better"

Linda fell into HEB's marketing ploy! That is their commercial ... it was started by the Butts in 1925 and later named for their son ... hence the H.E.B.

Oh, the stupid trivia running through my brain!
