A three day weekend that stayed pretty busy. We took Friday night to go out with Randy (brother in-law) and Barbara (mother in-law) and have a nice hibachi dinner at Tokyo Steakhouse in Newnan. Ripley slept through everything: the banging, the fire, the loud conversation. Not a peep. After dinner we headed home and shortly to bed. It had been a long week for us and getting to bed felt awesome!
Saturday arrived and after we awoke we got ready to head to Johnny’s place and meet up with him, Anna, and Ben. Ben is a good friend of ours who moved northward to Massachusetts. He was visiting and we were lucky enough to catch him for at least lunch over at Doc Chey’s in the Virgina Highland’s area. It was a good meal and great company! We had to head south bound for some Ripley supplies and other shopping errands then we ended up at Taco Mac before heading home. I got to play with my new camera as well and it takes some good video, we posted this video on Facebook, you’ll have to be my Friend to view it but it’s the best I can do til I find a good way to host and display video… well here it is from YouTube, thanx Mr. Wallom! 
Sunday we spent the morning relaxing and finishing up some of our DVR’d programming before heading out to visit my folks and my Aunt Cindy and her family. It was a good time out and it seemed like Ripley really enjoyed getting out and meeting some of her extended family! We’ll have to try and figure out how to get by more often. It just seems like you never have a free hour much anymore much less hours to travel around all the time, but we’ll make the effort.
Having the extra day off Monday we choose to use it wisely and did much of nothing except some house cleaning, TV catch-up and when the evening of the day came I got out to do some basic yard stuff. We have some out door improvement plans time and cash permitting, but just cleaning up helped a lot.
It was a great weekend and we got to see a lot of people without feeling too rushed to be everywhere at once. I hope it can stay that way!

I had a really great time seeing everyone again. I get homesick up here on the weekends, and that trip was exactly what the doctor would have ordered.
Thanx man! I totally forgot I had uploaded it to YouTube as well, but I like how FaceBook holds the Video content behind it’s security that could be useful in the future.
Sounds like y’all had a pretty good weekend. I use youtube to upload my videos because it has really good HD, subscriptions, and easy embedding. I am now flipless however. I sold mine to my sister over the weekend.
