Is it really November???



Love these weekends where you actually have time to sit down and enjoy yourself again. I think I had forgotten how to do that! Greg came through Friday night and went shopping with me. We went to the new Best Buy in Fort Smith. I wanted to get a portable external hard drive for my laptop because I've been paranoid about losing all of my information recently. His computer messed up last month and, even being a computer geek (yes, I said it), he did not have a backup, and lost some important GAMING info which was high on his priority list. So, I've been sweating since then thinking what I would do if this laptop were to freeze and fry and I could lose all of my photos and information and files. ugh. What a nightmare. So, he agreed to go with me and get me hooked up. We got to have a good look at the new Best Buy, which is rather Star Trekkish on the inside, but I like the look. We bought the hard drive, which the smallest amount you could get was 250 GB. Pretty funny to think how small we used to buy and when they first started coming out with "gigs" we thought one "gig" was massive! Oops-showing my age here.


We left there and went to the mall to catch Greg up on some survival clothes...jeans, shirts, etc. for school. We also ran across this funny little Razorback cap that he thought he might just wear. It has a fuzzy warm lining. Here's a couple of photos with he and Steve trying it on at home. What do you think, folks? Should I get Steve one for Christmas? He looks like one of those old fashioned football players from way back when I think! We had fun though and I hated to see him leave.


On Saturday morning, Steve and I got up and washed "Baby" (my car) and took off for Fayetteville to watch those Hogs play one last time for this season. It really was a gorgeous day. As my friend Connie and I would say, the "foliage was lovely." We have decided that is the real sign that we have crossed into middle age when we say that.

We picked up Glo and Megan at their place and put the top down on the car and cruised through Dickson Street. Had lunch at Flying Burrito until we could not eat another bite, then decided to park over by the high school and walk to the stadium.
It was great football weather and everyone had a good time. I can't believe we won, but it was a good way to end the home game season for sure! We drove back to their apartment and looked at wedding pictures, then left for home.
Yesterday was a lazy day.....finally. I was actually caught up on my paperwork and laundry for a change. Steve watered the mums and all outside and we tried to catch up some on some things we had to do indoors.
Mmmmm....I love Sundays. I love lazy days.
Mary Beth emailed from France. Having a blast of course.
Will post wedding photos soon. I promise!
