My Aunt who lives in Oklahoma is here for a couple of days. This weekend every year our area becomes one huge craft fair. There are craft fairs every where and people every where. She came over and brought her friend who goes and goes with her.

Anyway I had gone to Walmart last week and bought me a pair of leggings that are bootcut and could only find them in one color in my size so I knew she was coming over and asked if she would check her Walmart and if they had some could she pick me up some and I would pay her back. Well she called yesterday when I was on the phone with my mom..she had called my mom's cell phone since I was on the landline. She told my mom she found me 2 pairs and that she would get them for me and instead of giving me money for the craft fairs she would just get me the pants. I was tickled pink said Thank you. So today we were at the craft fair and she comes up beside me and hands me $20.00 and says have fun. I said Aunt Debbie you weren't supposed to do that you bought my pants she said I know now shush.

We then went out to dinner at Copelands of New Orelands and I was still kind of full from lunch we ate at Scholtskys (sp) and I ordered a pizza they are individual pizzas. But I couldnt eat it all neither could Ina so we put them in the ice chest and I will eat on them this weekend. But at Copelands I ordered an appetizer Crab Claws they were blue crab crab claws and they were cooked in an oil vinegarette dressing and they gave you some toast to soap up the dressing. It was soooooooo good. Of course Aunt Debbie won the check war.

She is so sweet to us when she comes over. She has always been my biggest cheerleader and I know I can always call her and if she isn't arm deep in cooking something she will listen. She cooks dinner for the church dinners on Wednesday nights and it usually takes her 2 nights to get it done. Some nights though she just wants to rest. She is a claims adjustor for Walmart. She has some funny stories about what people try to claim is walmart's fault. She also has some sad stories.

I love my Aunt Debbie to pieces and not just because she buys me things. I love her because she saw the skinny person in me before I saw the skinny person in me.
