This weekend started Friday at 11:30 with a picnic at my grandsons' school in celebration of Eden Gardens Fundamental Magnet Elementary becoming a Blue Ribbon School. The students really enjoyed having their families and eating out on blankets on the playground. Congratulations Eden Gardens; it is one of our countries best schools.

Then it was off to Jacquie's for a visit with little Caroline, who is now 3 weeks old. She is my 4th grandchild and 2nd granddaughter.
Mother drove in from Arkansas and visited with Caroline. She is a great addition to our family.

On Saturday, my sister, Debbie drove over and Mother, Carrel and I rode with Debbie to our sister, Sandy's house in Texarkana. There are 5 girls in our family and the youngest 2 both entered into their 2nd marriage on 11-11-11. Sandy even got married at 11:11 o'clock. So we went to celebrate her marriage to Bruce with all their friends. Sandy got a Dodge Challenger a couple of months ago. Its color is called Plum Crazy. I saw it when we went by her house from Tulsa. I dreamed about that car one night. Very strange, because cars don't really mean that much to me; at least not when I'm awake.

Sandy also has a couple of pigs and so hopefully she can bring them to my house Friday for the big LSU hog roast.
I finished up the weekend Sunday afternoon scraping the paint off the goat shack. When I complained about how hard it was, my son-in-law suggested that I use his heat gun. Think of it as a super charged blow dryer. I tried it and it did melt the paint off. But my husband frowned at the thought of me inhaling lead paint fumes. It is also slower than scraping, so I went back to scraping this afternoon. My little goats don't expect perfection.
