A Weekend Without Susan

The girls and I are Susan-less for the weekend!  Yesterday she drove to Mandan to spend the night at her brother Jerrett's place so that she could get up early this morning and fly out of Bismarck to their sister Cassie's place in SC.  Cassie and her husband Nick recently had a second child (remember?), and Susan is there to meet the baby (Marly Sue) and spoil her and her brother Davis for a few days.  Wanna see Marly?

Marly Sue wrapped in the baby-sized afghan that Susan knit for her.

It was a long day: I got the girls to school, mowed the lawn, went to work, took the girls grocery shopping, made them supper, attended an evening meeting, and finally picked up Suzanna from a school field trip (to Bismarck to march in a "band night" parade) from which her school bus returned about 10:00 P.M.  Sheesh!  The next few days aren't going to be any less complicated--read on . . .
