It's been a good weekend and we've had something special for all three days.
Thursday I started working on the Santa wall in the den and I had a good bit done by the time for dinner and movie on Friday night.
Ilene and I usually enjoy a fancy cocktail that is low in alcohol and fruity in flavor.
I like to add a bit of fruit to the wine.
Dinner was Chinese food from Trader Joe's - delicious!
Our movie choice was a good one!
Can you guess what it was?
Louis Dean stayed through the entire movie.
We had rain come in early in the afternoon and it was wonderful!!
I haven't driven in the rain in a long time.
Trystan's hockey game was at 2:30 in Valley Ranch and I had a warm green sweater and jacket to wear.
My sweet daughter, Amber!
Trystan is a feisty skater and I watched every minute of her game.
Sunday afternoon was Logan and Kailey's game in Richardson which is the coldest rink of them all!
Once again we bundled up and arrived early to the rink.
Amber snapped this pic after the game - which our team won 3-2.
I asked what they were doing and Amber said, "Praying."
They gather after the game - players from both teams that want to participate - to say a prayer of thankfulness that no one was injured. This is a tough sport and it's not unusual for injuries to happen.
The hockey games consist of three periods of 15 minutes each.
The Bell grands have been skating since they were six years old.
The periods used to seem longer to me and now they go by so fast!
Who knew I would become an avid hockey fan!
The more games I watch, the more I understand the ins and outs of how they play.
I still love watching football, too, and the Cowboys played a great game!
So here we are ready to start a new week.
The fence gate is still under construction. Turns out Louis Dean can't find the new hinges he bought and needs me to take him to Home Depot - again!

I've never seen that movie. Louis Dean looks like he was really interested in it.
Looks like fun hockey games. I've actually never been to a game.
That movie is one of my all time favorite movies! So fun to watch the quads grow!
The saying at the end is so good!
Love you, friend!
That's one of our favorite movies! Isn't it wonderful to live close enough to grands to go and watch their games!
I love that movie, as does Ed!
Thank you so much for the note. When I can "get my thoughts in hand", I'll be writing you.
It was such a pleasure when Kristi went to the mailbox and she asked who I knew in TX!😀😍
Sweet Linda that gate will get done! No matter how many trips to Home Depot.
What a lovely picture of you and Louis Dean.
I've never heard of that movie, but am going to check it out. Louis Dean looks as though he is enjoying it, and that's a good enough recommendation for me.
I never heard of that movie either. I must check it out.
The photos of the teams praying together is the best !!! PTL...
You do look cozy in your new green jacket and I'm glad you have turned into the #1 Hockey Fan... Those Quads are something else.
I am always amazed by your Santa Wall. Its wonderful.
So happy the weekend was a good one for ALL of you.
(((hugs)))

love the ussie of you and Ld and you should paint that one.. nice sweater, we are still hot. have not seen that movie
We LOVE SECOND HAND LIONS!!! enjoyed all the pictures and can imagine how COLD those rinks are! Brrrrrr.....Sometime when you're bored check out the clothes at " Angel Heart Boutique "--- it's in Oklahoma I think. Kinda expensive but fun to browse, so many of them remind me of you smile 😊
It is so amazing that the hockey team gives prayers of thanks for no injuries! So many people only pray for what they want. Doing the Santa wall must be so much work!
I have seen that movie - but I forgot what it was about! I am not much of a sports person - unless like you I have someone I know playing.
