Weekend Recap:

Friday:
A good friend of the family and fellow pig roast buddy, Goldene Workman passed away on the 28th. Dwayne and I went to the visitation Friday evening. We visited with several friends we hadn't seen in quite awhile. After the visitation, we stopped by Maxine Workman's and visited with her and Pat for awhile.
Saturday:
Another day of attending a friend's visitation and services. A friend, Bobbi (Allen) Ragan's husband, Claude's service was at Union Hill Cemetery followed by a dinner at the church. Claude's funeral dinner had already been planned for noon and then when Dene passed away, the church did a combination dinner for both families. Dene and Claude were cousins so it worked out well. Dene's funeral service was then at two o'clock at the church.
I didn't stay for Dene's funeral but went on to Rolla to do a little shopping.
Dwayne called while I was in town and said Desmon was spending the night with us.
Blake and Nathan had spent the night with April and Mike on Friday and we were to go pick them up that evening. Desmon was pretty excited to see where April lived but thought we would never get there.
The boys had a good time playing in the front yard but it was hard to keep them out of April's flower bed. Too tempting for two active six year olds!! We loaded them up and headed for home. Not too far down the road, the boys were thirsty and just could not wait until we got home. They each wanted Mountain Dew but I didn't think the parents would like that (even though my kids grew up on Mountain Dew) so Dwayne got them Hog Wash instead. Who thinks of the names of kids drinks? Bug Juice, Hog Wash, sounds like great stuff, huh?
The kids ran off a lot of energy when we got home. Even little Nathan ran around on the porch and in the yard. The boys were climbing on the fence and he thought he was big enough, too. Couldn't quite reach the boards so I had to help him.
Blake and Desmon:
Nathan:
Dwayne and the boys went in the house to watch TV, so I took Nathan up to Mom and Dad's for them to see him. He wasn't too sure about us being there and hung on to my shirt the whole time. Dad couldn't even bribe him away with candy. When I mentioned we should go, Nathan started blowing kissed to them. He was ready to get out of there!! Back to people he's familiar with.
The boys were starving when I got back.(They had already ate supper earlier, must be the outdoor air and activity) Dwayne fixed them hot dogs.
Nathan, Blake and Desmon:
Finally, bedtime!!: lol

We had a good time with the boys.
Sunday:
Dwayne took Desmon home and then went on over to Vichy to his Uncle Leroy Lennaman's farm sale. I dropped Blake and Nathan off at their Grandma Pat's on my way to church. After church, I went to the auction for awhile.
Home to a much needed nap. Spent the rest of the evening relaxing and then went to visit with Kate and MacKensie. Overall, a good weekend of catching up with friends and relatives.
