"if i had a nickel"

i'm just back from a great trip to nashville where i spent the weekend with these fine folks: it was so much fun! we drank lots of this:my friends are so amazing and talented.

amy and her sister own this very hip coffee shop in kingston*springs. friday night was their one year anniversary so we enjoyed the birthday party and the live music:then saturday, the girls got facials. darren decided he wanted in on the action so terri's facial turned into a "couples" deal. funny!!!we played lots of games. balderdash and poker being the favorites. i have not laughed that hard in a long time. so much laughter, so little time!
oh, and did you know? the side pony is BACK! here we are - rocking the new look:this picture just about sums up the weekend:

and i love this one from the park.

and this one from the porch. i love these people!

such a fun weekend. but i'm still exhausted. i may be getting to old for all that fun, but, i'm gonna keeping having it anyway. they are that worth it! : )
