Morgan's Weekend in Olney


Morgan came and spent the weekend with us a couple of weeks ago. MaMaw brought home a Gingerbread house from the Sr Citizens Center and gave it to Morgan. Sure enough she insisted that we work on it that night when I got home from work. Well, we did and then again Sat. afternoon. I have never done one of those and I can tell you it was not easy. I put it together and let Morgan do the decorating. (Well we did not get the top to ever stay on without falling in so she had a topless gingerbread house). She had fun doing it and eating some of the icing and the candy anyways. We went to Wichita Saturday to run a couple of errands. Morgan wanted to go the mall of course. We ended up in The Children's Place and of course I could not resist buying her some things. I bought a little dress for "Kennedy" too. The suit she has on was one of them and her little flip flops. She could not wait until she got home to put them all on. I had to wash them so she could wear them home Sunday. Morgan enjoyed riding her little jeep and making her visit down to MaMaw's house and feeding the horses. We had a good weekend and as usual I hated to see her go home.
The following weekend we went to Abilene on Friday night to keep Morgan so Whitney and Jason could attend an event at ASU inducting his college friend that was killed in a car accident into the Hall of Fame. We had supper with Ashley and Jordan and dropped them off at their house. Their new trees and shrubs looked great. Morgan was tired so we took her home and put her to bed. She told Ganna and PaPaw that she was not going to sleep with anyone that was coughing (and that was me) so Donald slept with her and I got the couch. The next day Morgan asked when she could come to Olney and stay a long, long time. I told her to just call and I would pick her up anytime.
Saturday we left Abilene around 9:30 to head to Lubbock to attend the funeral of Donald's Aunt Geneva. It was nice to see the Cagle family again. We are hoping to get a Cagle family reunion planned this summer. Needless to say we were pretty tired when we got in Saturday night, especially since Donald and I both had bad colds. The weather was beautiful this weekend and we did enjoy getting to be outside some on Sunday.
I have my garden plowed so we will be planting some soon. Guess I will have plenty to share with all the kids. I am looking forward to Spring and being outside and getting the yard all done.
Stay tuned for the next venture....Humm?
