Tuesday Ramblings

I was very excited to find this website, Sugarboo Designs, because I love their photoboxes. I've seen them in boutiques in several cities and I can't wait to buy one for one of our wedding photos. They have special quotes written on wooden frames and I love how you can customize the color and quote.

We had a busy and fun-filled weekend. Friday - I just cleaned up the house, did some work and got ready for a weekend of guests. Saturday - we got up early and I did some mid-term grading. My brother and mom came over with a tailgate spread - fried chicken, potato salad, sushi (random but good) and other goodies. We had some friends from Charlotte drive down and we hadn't seen them since the wedding so it was fun catching up. K has an English Pug and the antics of he and Ralph were hilarious.
Then we did some power tailgating and made the rounds. Again, we got to see and visit with people we hadn't seen since the wedding so it was fun. And hot - fall weather for football please?? I didn't have a ticket but Mr.TP's friends had a great seat for him, so I told him to go on to the game. Ralph and I were exhausted and came back to the house to crash and watch the game (horrible VT vs. Clemson! Oy!) in air conditioning. Our friends left early Sunday morning and we puttered around the house cleaning up and making breakfast. Mr.TP's parents came up Sunday afternoon to drop off some furniture. They lived in Germany for 5 years and are in the looong process of unpacking several storage sheds. They have a few things that they don't need anymore but want to stay in the family. They gave us a "Cushman Colonial" bedroom set with dresser, nightstand and bed frame. I'd never heard of it but it is a beautiful wooden set. We all went out for Mexican, complete with cheese dip, after organizing and moving. And then Sunday night/yesterday found me very sick either with food poisoning or a nasty stomach flu. Needless to say, I was out of commission and just laid around yesterday. I can say I probably won't be eating Monterray's anytime soon. :(

We have a busy week here but nothing planned this weekend which is long because of our fall break. Where is the time going?
