Cute as a BUTTON

 

It all started on a Friday,

this trip of FAITH!

 

I quickly threw things into a suitcase

that morning,

completely clueless of what was ahead...

Because the dryer was not working,

I didn't take enough clothes

and only three pairs of underwear...

Grrrrr...

 

I had planned to stop in Corpus Christi

to rest that night,

but my friend was out of town,

celebrating her mom's birthday...

 

I hadn't seen Lil since I lived in Corpus Christi,

which was about 18 years ago...

We got caught up on all the news

of what has happened

since we saw each other last...

 

Lil left me

feeling totally naked

because she cut nine inches

off my hair...

I told her I wanted it cut to the bra line

but she said I would have to wear

my bra higher.

LOL...

but Lil is the only one

who knows how to cut my hair...

and she touched up my highlights on the top, too..

She put a lot of work into my hair...

but when the bill came,

I  was very surprised that

she gave me a break on the price!

I do not know  if I am

cute as a button...

but my hair does look a lot healthier...

 

OMGG @ to top it off,

she took me in for the night

and she fed me!

She hadn't gone to the grocery store,

so we had eggs for supper

and toasted bread with

peanut butter and jelly

for breakfast...

Yay @

how God works

to provide for me!

 

On Saturday morning,

I got on the road towards San Antonio...

I had planned to see my daughter in SA,

but she was out of town...

So off I went into the unknown...

 

It seemed easy enough to get there without a map,

but no one mentioned Hwy 46 & 133...

I had to keep making U-Turns to get there

but I was the first one to arrive...

The good thing about that

is that I had a chance to play 

Goldilocks,

hopping from bed to bed,

until I found the bed that was just right!

 

People started coming in shortly thereafter...

We all slept on bunk beds in a little casita...

It was awfully crowded and awfully cold...

I was upset at myself for not bringing a blanket...

and I had forgotten my camera, too...

 

That night, we got into three vehicles

to go out to eat...

I was a bit nervous about the high prices,

because for the cost of a meal there,

I could probably buy close

to a week's worth of groceries...

I kept looking for the cheapest prices,

but even sandwiches and hamburgers

were expensive...

But then our leader said that

it was his treat...

so all of the guys ordered steak

which was at about $15 a pop,

just for the meal...

not counting drinks...

They ordered appetizers and dessert, too...

OMG @ there were at least twenty of us...

I didn't feel right about ordering

the most expensive things on the menu,

so I ordered the

catfish

and

water with lemon

instead...

It was very good and it wasn't too much food.

As Goldilocks  would have said...

it was just right...

 

Reagan was feeling hot,

so she put her head down on the table.

Then, JC got Heather to put stuff

into Reagan's Sprite...

lots of salt, pepper, sugar...

OMGG @ I was so nervous for her...

and then, he made a toast

to get Reagan to drink the "poison"...

but Reagan didn't notice

any change in the Sprite...

so then, he called a race to see

who could finish their drink the fastest...

No change...

So he got Heather to add more stuff...

to another Sprite...

and challenged her again,

but still...

no change...

 

OMGG @ Reagan never noticed a thing...

but she drank so much Sprite

that she couldn't eat her food

when it came...

 

Reagan was never told

about what happened that night...

Even her sister kept it a secret....

Shhhhhh...

 

Then we got the news...

We would be assigned to condos on Sunday!

I was very excited,

because I have never been in a condo before...

I kept wondering what it would look like

and if I would have a roommate...
