A week gone - just like that!

Well gosh! I can't believe it's been a complete week already since I last posted. I've been fairly busy though so I can see where the time all slipped away from me.

My cousin Sara came into town Friday night. She had a Nurse Practitioner conference to attend here in our fair city on Monday - Wednesday and so she got to come early to spend some time with me. We slept in on Saturday and enjoyed breakfast. Then we took the afternoon to walk the streets and check out all the little shops in a nearby small town. What an enjoyable day! She bought fabric for her first quilt ever, and I bought one pack of fabric I couldn't resist (I have the same trouble with fabric that my friend Sarah has with scrapping paper and ribbon!). We also tried a new chocolate store and I had an absolutely amazing piece of cheesecake that was smothered with fudge and caramel.

Sunday we went to church and Sunday School and then headed downtown. We picked up two of Sara's colleagues and then I played tour guide for the rest of the day. It was a blast! We lunched at the Hard Rock Cafe, then drove through West End, Vanderbilt and the Parthenon and then headed back east to the Opryland Hotel. I always enjoy taking people there for their first time to see it - the awe on their faces is priceless! We spent about an hour at the mall too because one of the ladies still had not received her luggage. Then we headed back to town and enjoyed a leisurely and delicious meal at The Melting Pot. I'm telling you, if you have never tried it you need to pick a very special occasion (it's expensive, but very worth it) and go try it out! I treat myself every couple years or so when I have company in town. I was also able to have dinner with Sara on Tuesday evening and then used my lunch hour on Wednesday to take her to the airport. So good to spend some time with her!

I've also been able to help a good friend whose hubby is out of town this week. It is always fulfilling and satisfying (even if tiring!) to help someone out that you know appreciates you! Not to mention it means getting to spend time with my "nephews"! Well, I think I hear my work calling so I must skeedaddle! I'd love to hear from any of you so feel free to send me comments. Have a great weekend - it's finally fall!!! Yippeeeeee!
