Bob Saget, Art Cars, Mom

The weekend was sunny on Saturday, stormy and rainy on Sunday – but I had fun either way! Here is a re-cap…

Thursday night: I forgot to mention last week that Thursday afternoon our friends invited us at the last minute to go see Bob Saget at a local comedy club. I was up for it but a bit dubious and how fun it was going to be. OMG! Mr. Saget’s comedy is a far cry from and on the other side of the spectrum of the character he played on Full House and the persona he used when he hosted America’s Funniest Home Videos! He was crude, intelligent, rude, witty, cursed like a sailor and he was hilarious! Suffice to say he had me laughing and his last song, “Danny Tanner Was Not Gay” was awesome! I am glad we went.

Friday night: Kenny and I have been extremely lazy socially so after he played pool on Friday Kenny was sweet and asked me to go out to avoid just crashing on the couch in front of the TV. We headed out to Freebirds for dinner and finished the evening at Brasil’s, our favorite coffee shop, where we had a great time just talking face-to-face alone. We need to do this more often and I had a great evening with my husband.

Saturday: We woke up early and *finally* had the garage sale. We only stayed out till 11 AM but we made about $35 and got rid of about 1/3 of our stuff. We loaded up the unsold stuff into the Jeep for donation to Goodwill.

At 11 AM our friends came by and as a group we drove Downtown to go watch the 19th Annual Art Car Parade. It’s a fun, free Houston tradition and it’s the first time I really made an effort to see the whole parade. We found a great spot along the parade route sitting under a large oak tree in the shade and even snagged some chairs (we didn’t bring our own). We saw the whole parade from start to finish (over 200 cars). Below is one of my favorites photos and I made a Flickr set from the best shots.

Saturday night: The day had been warm and long so yes, we crashed for the rest of the afternoon, took naps and watched TV. LOL.

Sunday: My mother was coming over for Mother’s Day that evening so Kenny and ran a few errands but a strong afternoon storm drove us back home! It cleared up by the time my Mom came over and we had a lovely grilled steak dinner.

And that was our weekend!
