Hi,

I have been to the biggest flea market in the world this weekend. It was huge and I got all my christmas shopping done!!! Its First Monday in Canton Texas. Its very near to where Shanna-Kaye and her family are moving to. We went up there thursday to a time share thing that my friend Bonny owns. It was a cabin, and it was sooo much fun. The best part of the cabin was that there was a huge bath tub with jets. It was just awsome! The whole weekend was awsome, even though it started out as not so good.
Basicly before we were going to leave, we found out that the bank spent all our money. So we decided we couldn't go, then Bonnys husband Justin called and asked if it was ok that I would go with Bonny. Just me. I kindof didn't want to because I wanted my mom to go also. I try and make sure that what ever my mom wants to do to bring her some joy in her life, I do everything in my power to make it happen. If she wants to go to a singing thats like 2 hours away, I get on her side and encoarage her to go and do it. She needs as much joy as she can get. So, I went with Bonny and we stayed the night at the cabin, Then we woke up and went to First Monday. About 2 hours into it, my mom calls and says that she is about 12 minutes away, and that katrina was with her. So she did get to go with us and it was sooo much fun.
We came back saturday night, my mom and katrina left about 2 hours before Bonny and I because katrina wasn't feeling well. We believed her because my mom and I had just gotten the same bug. Good thing we listened to her to, she threw up when she got home. Anyway, Bonny and I were walking around in The Mountain area and we saw this little shop that sold clothes but not anykind of clothes. Old clothes like 80s and older stuff. It was SOOOOO GREAT!!! I bought a brown long sleeved shirt that looked like a cowgirl or female indian would wear. I bought it and wore it Sunday and I didn't recive one complament, so it must have looked bad or something, but I don't care because I love the shirt.
Well I got to go now.
See Ya L8er.
