Happy Monday! Linking up today with Tanya for a quick review of the weekend.
Friday night was spent pretty low key at home. Actually, this summed up my whole weekend!
After a week of random events at night, I had not cooked much, so it was nice to be home and cook a good dinner Friday night. We had sliced sirloin steak, potatoes, and roasted carrots and onions. We watched the first episode of Challenger, The Final Flight. I am a space fan and am curious to watch the next episode. That may determine if I finish it, although it is a very short series. I also watched Father of The Bride, part 3 ish :)
My husband was gone all day Saturday and Sunday, so Brook and I ran some errands on Saturday. Sunday, we went to church and I caught up on some house stuff and watched a Hallmark movie.
While out running errands I noticed a section of cards for Veterans Day, November 11th. This is my birthday and while I have always known my birthday is on Veterans Day every year, I had never noticed a section of cards for this holiday.
Speaking of birthdays, even though mine is 6 weeks away, my dear friend who lives in South America but is currently in the USA, sent me an early birthday gift since this year will be a milestone birthday for me. I have a collection of Willow Tree, so I was excited to get a new piece to add to the collection.
While out on Saturday, I bought a mum to add to the front porch. They aren't in bloom yet, so we will see if that happens. I think we are in the clear to plant a mum in September without thinking it will wilt away due to lingering summer heat.
Lastly, I found an old, small DVD player the girls would use when they were younger on road trips...pre-cell phone time. I plugged it up and watched an old Huey Lewis concert while making dinner this weekend.
Now off to a busy, rainy Monday here. Hope yours is a good one!
What a great weekend for you! And our weather forecast for this week is so exciting. I am so ready for this cool weather!
ReplyDeleteFun to read your peaceful ramblings on a week well spent.
ReplyDeleteI want to watch the new Father of the Bride. What'd you think? Yay for your birthday coming up!!! I get so excited about birthdays, haha! We collect Willow Trees at our house too. My second daughter is named Willow, so when she was born, the collection started. :) Hope your mums turn out beautiful. I haven't picked any up yet but want to.
ReplyDeleteYour mums look great. Nov 11 is my son's birthday too. Usually our school choir has a big Veteran's day concert on that date...not this year I'm sure. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful birthday gift! I had a friend who collected those.
