On Friday, October 1, 2010, Chelle (my oldest daughter) came for a special weekend with me in Somerville, Texas.
Mom's Red Beans & Rice with Slovacek hot sausage and biscuits (per Chelle's request) was a great beginning to our weekend together.
Can you just imagine......
A full weekend with my daughter!!!!!!!!!
What a delight for me!
Lounging in our comfy clothes, wrapped in Grandma's afghan and hanging out was the scene the first night.
FUN!
Saturday morning we enjoyed Dunkin Donuts Pumpkin Spice coffee on the front porch.
It was the most beautiful morning!
A perfect autumn morning....a cool breeze, the warmth of the sun and each other! PERFECT!
Lunch was a spinach, warm grilled salmon, toasted pine nuts, mandarin oranges and Paula Deen's Peach salad dressing! Most filling and delicious!
Dinner that evening was Chelle's favorite soup.
Le Madeline's Tomato Basil Soup found at my favorite market...H.E.B. in College Station! We both were very happy to nibble on Artichoke and Spinach chips with dips.
I really had to discipline myself and NOT bake one thing for this weekend.
We had so much food and fun that there was no other room for sweets!
On Sunday morning we packed up the car and went to church at Lakeside Bible Church in Montgomery, TX.
What a memorable weekend for me!
I surely do love my daughter!
Thanks, Chel!

So happy for you. I too am grateful for Chelle. Thank you, God, for our sweet Chelle whom God brought into our lives as well.
Rose Ann, thanks!
YES, it was a truly wonderful weekend. I especially loved just hanging out with you and talking about lots of different things. I loved watching a movie and munching on yummy food. I loved hearing all about your family history and grandma and grandpa's salvation stories. I loved imagining the cool house you lived in for the year when you were a girl. I loved the super good salmon lunch while we listened to the wind chimes in the breeze. I loved finding out my jammies were "missing" and finding a wonderful set in the drawer - so fun! I loved just being with YOU!!! I love you mom!!!
Chel, It pleases my heart to read what were treasured memories of our weekend. Ditto! Wish we had taken more photos!
I love you!
Mom
