Weekends Can Be Exhausting!

Friday night after a long week I did not want to cook but everyone was hungry. Wesley came in and I asked him if he had ever had breakfast for dinner. He had not so I said well let's fix breakfast. He loves to help me cook so we made french toast and bacon and scrambled eggs. He did most of the work, all I did was supervise. It was so cute.
Saturday was a busy day. Since we cooked all of the breakfast on Friday night hubby and I went out for breakfast and then we test drove a few more cars. This kind of shopping is exhausting.
Car shopping with hubby is frustrating. Although he is knowledgeable in the car situation he is very tight in buying a nice car. He does not believe in buying a brand new car and so I thought it would be nice to have a really nice high end car just not brand new. I have saved some cash and was willing to put down a big chunk but getting him to agree has been both frustrating and annoying.
The sort of cars I am interested in are BMW's and Mercedes Benz and am willing to go for a used one........say a couple of years old. It is amazing the way some people take care of their cars or should I say don't take care of them. Now, we don't own a carport or garage to house our vehicles but I do try to keep the dings down to a minimum. So, months later we are still car shopping. I am ready to give up and drive the one I have into the ground.

My oldest son is building his own house. I am so impressed with him. This is a picture of it so far. They have moved in but there is still alot to do. It will be an awesome place for them to raise their family. They love to entertain and when we are there people are always stopping by.

Here we are in August already. Wow, this summer has flown by. We are in the process of car hunting. I have the fever and figure it is about time. I was promised a new car when the one I have hit 100,000. It is at 128,000. I am way over due. We have test drove some high end cars and now we both have an expensive fever.
August 4 is my oldest son's birthday. He will be 32. Gosh that is hard to believe that he is that old. He is such a fine young man and I am very proud of him. He is a hard worker, loves God and is a good husband and father.
I am going to Dallas in a few weeks to spend the weekend with some ladies I went to high school with. Not that I went to school in Dallas, we are all from South Dakota and one of the ladies lives in Dallas so we are meeting there and having a fun weekend with shopping and catching up on each other's lives.
Here is an adorable picture of 2 of my grandsons. I was able to take the oldest to CATS the musical last Sunday. It was such a fun time with him, although he did fall asleep in the middle of it he was so good thru the whole play. It was a special day with him.
