Weekend Surprises.


This weekend was a real rarity. Randy and I both had two days off in a row yaaaay! Thank you memorial day! So we packed up our bags, and our sweet tortoise, and got in the car and drove to Tallahassee. Because sometimes you just have to take a spontaneous four hour trip home to surprise your mother who hasn't seen your face since Christmas :) Surprises are the BEST. Isn't that look on her face priceless?? In fact, the look of surprise on someone's face just might be one of the best things life has to offer.  



Aren't they the cutest? The both of them. The mom and the little grass eater. Another lovely weekend has come and gone and I'm in another countdown until the next one.  XOXO

    Love that surprised look! What a treat!
    Hope you post about your tortoise. That's one of the few pets we could actually have, as Lil' Guy is allergic to so many furry things.
    Welcome to the blogging world!

    Oh yes, surprises are the best! I do that to my parents at times due to them worrying when I am on the road. So I just don’t tell them I am coming up to see them. hee hee. Love your turtle! Happy Blogging…

    Love that grand-turtle! I wasn't sure what you meant when you wrote that you packed your "sweet tortoise" but you were quite literal. What a fun pet. Yes your mom looks so surprised to see you. You're a good daughter!
