The Cat was away-- the mice did play!

Whew! The weekend went by in a blur! It was just Taylor & me for the last 4 days. Bobby has been in Georgia with Timm, Miranda, Mike and Travis. They headed to the woods to work on some stuff for "Living Room Environments" @ our church. I can't wait to see what is going to be unvailed! Seems like these past few days have flown by for me, non-stop.

Of course with the "Cat away, we did play" 3 malls in 2 days!(Lake Wales; Lakeland & Brandon) Oh what joy! We definately got our shopping fix! We did some major Max'n & Relax'n. It was P-A-R-T-Y at the McCue house this weekend!

Sunday afternoon, I was trying to teach Taylor how to skateboard. At one point, one of our neighbors was standing at his window shaking his head. Yeah, so it's been a long time since this ol' girl has been on a skate board and I am not quite as skinny as I used to be, but I think if I dig in deep enough, I still got it goin' on... Well, with 40 not too far away, maybe I won't get on a ramp or anything, on second thought staying on the board on flat ground probably is a really good idea... Taylor was freak'n out! She kept saying that I was going to bust my butt... I told her I would only fall once and then if I didn't get up not to worry, call 9-1-1 or she could wait for a few more minutes and our Family Group would be arriving at the house and they would help rescue me! Yeah, this ol' girl's got it going on- for just a brief couple of minutes, I felt like a kid again- laughing like crazy at myself and just having fun hanging out with my girl! Remember the neighbor? Well, the other neighbors drove up and stayed outside (pretending not to be watching) then another one across the street came outside and stood at her doorstep. You know secretely, they probably had visions of getting a good laugh themselves watching me wipe out... Sorry to disappoint! Lesson #1 in skateboarding 101 wen pretty good. Taylor will be shredding it up soon and I get to file this memory in my mind forever! What joy God gave to me when he gave me my daughter! Just because she is a teenager now, doesn't mean that the days of first's are long gone. We have plenty more first to celebrate together as a family. I look forward to sharing them all with her dad (and the love of my life) Bobby!
