Weekends

Hello!  How was your weekend?

Mine was pretty good.  We had an outing!  I know you're wondering 'what is an outing'.  Well, ours was a simple one.  We picked up subs and ate them at the park near the river.  It was one of the best decisions of of the week.





We also went to a neighboring town for selective store shopping.  I was strategic and brief while shopping and was thrilled to see mask wearing everywhere I went.

 

Saturday and Sunday were blissfully uneventful.  I did my weekly chores as well as spent time knitting and reading.  Holly has been bold bugging Frodo and Frodo has been up to his barking antics as well.  It's been a noisy weekend.

It's now Monday and my to do list is mighty long!  Tell me about your weekend -

    Great idea, pick up a sandwich and go to the river....check. We will be doing this, this week, if the smoke from fires moves out.

    It's amazing how a simple outing like a picnic in the park can make us so happy (and produce such nice photos)!

    We had some al fresco dining this weekend as well! It is a good thing to change your view! :) Have a good week!

    Your outing looks and sounds perfect. Holly doesn't seem to be afraid of Frodo as much as she is enjoying tormenting him. She knows she is faster than him. Our weekend was spent enjoying our time together. We watched movies, went to Mass and had take out for dinner two nights in a row!

    Looks like a lovely spot for a picnic! A change of scenery does a soul some good. Your weekend sounds lovely to me. Mine was good. Mostly quiet which I like.

    Sounds perfect to me. I'm so tired of sitting around the house every day and I'm normally such a homebody, but this has been overkill! Have a great week :)

    Sounds idyllic a sandwich outside and a walk by the river. Thrilled that masks were been worn, that must make you feel better.

    Wow! an Outing sounds lovely! I did venture to Target for cards, and to my sisters back porch for a little knitting (she has an absolutely adorable 7-week old kitten, and I'm struck by how BIG Holly looks in comparison :-)

    I love your description of your weekend, as blissfully uneventful. Glad people in your area are still wearing masks! Sandwiches at the park with hubby sounds great. Have a nice week!

    Hubby and I tried an unsuccessful outing last week as the main entrance to the park we tried to go to was closed and we couldn't locate another entrance. So glad you had a nice lunch. Most people here are good about wearing masks, but a grocery employee caused me to make a complaint as she was coughing and her mask was a chin strap. Really? She was working in produce also. I really limit my shopping and rarely encounter this type of problem. Great picture of you two. Frodo and Holly are cute despite the noise. Stay safe.

    Blissfully uneventful is my kind of weekend. Ours was also uneventful. Saturday morning we had a nice, as in tolerable temps, walk. Sunday my husband made a coffee run and we settled in for online church. The rest of the day we hung out in the air conditioning. He is enjoying the KC Royals baseball games these days. I love how we are learning to appreciate these simple outings.

    You two are so cute. Our weekend was quiet . Sometimes Sundays are hard because we are not with our kids. But this sunday was so beautiful and sunny and calm, we were surprisingly content.
    I did get some good kntiting done on my new skirt. One more thing: I've been sleeping great but am still so tired in the mornings. THankful I have energy as the day wears on.

    Hmmm...this weekend? All I remember is time flying by quickly. Did I see a stack of fabric on your lounge chair? LOL Holly and Frodo. Minnie gets bored around here now that she's the only cat in the house. She sleeps a lot more than before and goes in and out of the 8th grader's room more often.

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than

Hopefulness

Image
  Good morning! This week has been busy with classes and routine doctor appointments. The arthritis doctor has a few tricks up her sleeve for some of my dry mouth issues (from my autoimmune disease - Sjorgren's Syndrome) that make me feel hopeful. What was the most important thing during that doctor visit is that I felt seen and heard. I am thankful for her and her team. Speaking of hopefulness, look at my daffodils sprouting up! Some of the daffodils are just starting and some already have a head start. I love winter, but I'm looking forward to spring. The crocuses seem to be taking their time this year, as well as the snowdrops (unless those pesky deer have eaten them, grr). Even though I am still knitting my baby blanket, I have gathered four skeins of potential socks to be and am dreaming of a wonderful sock frenzy cast on.

New Year

  Good morning! How are you? Happy New Year, may this year be full of blessings to all of you. Well now, I finally have an empty home after having our son, daughter in law, grandson and granddaughter here for six nights.  I am still experiencing fatigue and symptoms from the virus even though I am feeling better. It was a challenge hosting family while recovering. Also we babysat the kids overnight (!!) while my son and daughter in law went for little getaway. I am thankful and grateful my Aunt came over both days to help out with the granddaughter who never sleeps during the day. (snack-naps do not count!). They all left early in the morning, and while I was tired, sleep deprived and fatigued, I put away Christmas plus all the toys and doodads you need for babies. Today I am looking at a squeaky clean house. I am planning on reading books and falling asleep while doing so! My exercise routine is on hold as I slowly get better. Maybe next week I can muster up some energy for some yoga
