I had a very full, nice weekend. Friday on my break, H called and said he had checked into a car for DD17. We weren't planning on buying it right now, but DD20 wrecked her car so we needed to replace a car, so we decided to do a little swapping around. He asked if there was any way I could take off the afternoon to go with him to pick up the car, luckily I could.
The saleswoman was showing us the bells and whistles and H got a phone call so he got out of the car to take it. The saleswoman said "Your H said he stopped by to look at the Denalis for you and saw this car for your daughter. He said he was going to let you make up your mind if you want another SUV or a car. When do you think you might be getting one?" I hope my face didn't show the shock too much that he had done this. I told her I would have to get with him to make that decision. Weird, huh? He was car shopping for me and I didn't know it.
When I got to the house I called DD and told her to come outside and help me with the groceries (just a ploy to get her outside). She walked out and had the biggest surprised expression on her face and started squealing and grinning. To say that she was surprised and happy was an understatement.
H went to the deer camp Friday night and I went out with my DD and two other mother/daughter sets to dinner and a holiday expo. We had a great time. When I got home H called me. He wanted me to come to the deer camp. He said there were other wives there and he wanted me there. We had a nice time. We all sat by the fire and talked.
Saturday DD and I went and toured a college for her. It's my alma mater. She really liked it and will probably end up there. It's kind of odd to think that when I stepped on campus 27 years ago that my daughter would also be attending there!
Saturday night DD, one of her friends, and I went to the deer camp to meet up with H. We had a nice time.

It does make me feel old.....and jealous.....and sad - when my H went and looked around with her he said that our old college had been torn down and they were building new accomodation on the site where it had been. I was shocked as those buildings weren't very old when we were there. I had some good times in them
I must email you and Cheryl again. Things have been mad here. I may be going for some major surgery soon. I get to hear next week what's going on
