Jellin with my Juju

When I arrived on Tuesday afternoon, Juju had already had a Stampin Up class that morning and was set up to have another that night. I was so excited because I was so wanting to do some stamping. It had been so long and I loved the projects Juju designed. I used to take her 10-10 classes and loved them. This was going to be so much fun and she had told me about this fun group of women that were coming for the evening class. I couldn't wait. They were fun and we made some really cute cards. I got to see the new catalog just coming out July 1st, and it really got me into a stampin mood! Just not enough time in the day for me. Juju even helped me get together 9 thank you cards for this next year's BSF. I like to put the church contribution inside a handmade card before giving it to the accounting department. It just adds a little something special - that says "thank you...you are so special to us."

My second night there was Bunco night at the Christensen house. Several of Juju's neighbors and some of her recent "stampin" friends started a bunco group. It was Juju's month to have the group at her house. That day, we made appetizers and I made cupcakes for the event. Her friends are sooooooo fun! Of course, in my usual flair, I was the big LOOSER!!!! I'm such a LOOSER, I had to SHARE the looser position with someone else! How bad is that! The winner was this teenager who came as a sub with her mom for the first time. How RUDE!!! Don't teens know NEVER to win over adults - especially your FIRST time subbing....she will probably never be invited back. (HA!) Course...me either...LOOSER!

On Friday, we lay around the pool for several hours that morning. I didn't think I got that much sun... but after I got home...well, that's another story. Their pool and back yard is really lovely. Very comfy and relaxing. Juju and Terry have done such a wonderful job of making everything not only beautiful, but also warm and inviting both inside and out.

Not only is Juju and Terry so hospitable, but what a treat to stay in such warm and comfortable surroundings. As you can see, their guest bedroom leaves one never wanting to go home!

My last night at their house, we met Stephen, Juju's son, who lives in Houston for dinner. We had a GREAT time visiting and hearing all about Stephen's fun adventures. We also drilled Stephen, asking him to teach Juju and me various techniques on the use of our Iphones. Yes, we are a little technically challenged compared to some of these young people. Stephen caught us up to date on the new Iphone that is coming out and even how to "re-boot" the one we have. Oh...how nice to have smart children! And so nice to help their "old" parents. He was so patient with us. Or was he laughing at us?? Couldn't tell???!!! Stephen is so cute and fun and funny, I told Juju this was one of those times when I wish I had a daughter!

Well, I did have to come home. I was glad to see "Jim". Getting lots of rest and ready to see my babies. So Juju...your time is next. The Guadalupe River and the Segways are awaiting!!!
