Westville - Memorial Day
Weekend May 22 -24, 2009 |
|
My sister and I had tickets to a concert in
Fayetteville, AR on the Friday night of Memorial Day weekend, so I decided
to make a trip of it. Desirae was brave enough to have both sides of
her family over for a big cookout on Sunday. I enjoyed a lot of time
visiting with family, relaxing, and being spoiled by Mom.
The concert was Darius Rucker - we had amazing seats and enjoyed the
show very much. |
|
We got a sneak preview of the set list before the show. |
Our seats were directly front & center - you couldn't get closer without sitting on the stage! |
|
|
|
|
Darius - we really like his new stuff and were glad he played most of his new album, "Learn to Live" |
|
|
|
Saturday we went off shopping & left Dad to pine away for us in his
shop. Here he misses us terribly already. |
Here Mom & Desi wait patiently while I took forever to buy
Birkenstocks at Flying Possum Leather on Dickson St. in Fayetteville. |
|
|
Momma Kitty - always posing
|
Mom & I took Gran out to eat at Ozark Gardens, a new restaurant in
Westville. I asked if I could trade rice for double broccoli - and did I ever get broccoli! It was really great. |

Here we are at Keith & Desirae's house for a very good cookout. | |

Next we took a ride to Greenleaf State Park - the only way we
could all fit in one car was to get creative with where we put Mom. |
