Happy Monday morning! It was a busy, fun weekend. Here is a little recap...
I worked Friday morning, then grabbed some frozen yogurt, redeeming my birthday promotion. I then went and walked a few miles with a friend. It was a beautiful day!
Friday night, Jennifer came over and she helped me assemble my new Christmas tree. We sorted through some of my Christmas decor, but I am still working on some of it and will post pictures in a few weeks. There is a sneak peek of the tree at the end of this post!
Saturnday morning, I worked at a Touch a Truck Event. There were all kind of trucks and community service vehicles for children to enjoy.
This is a cool coffee truck that travels in the city in a restored Airstream.
I had a chicken spinach artichoke quesadilla from a food truck for lunch, which was so good.
The highlight of the day was my youngest daughter arrived home safely after her 9 1/2 hour drive!
I went out Saturday night to hear some live music and also was able to visit with a friend who was in town.

I went to church Sunday, got a few things done around the house in the afternoon, and Brook went with me to church that night for a Thanksgiving dinner. Here is a sneak peek at the tree. Notice I had a dog visitor for the afternoon, which was so fun to see him again.
It looks to be a week with a mix of busyness with work, but a little more downtime at home this week too, which I am looking forward to so I can get a few things done.
Have a good day!
Yah for Brook coming home! It sounds like a good weekend- some productivity, spending time relaxing, exercising, and spending time with friend and family. Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteYes, all of the above and it was good!
DeleteYeah! So glad your daughter got home safely :) Your weekend looks and sounds like a blast and your tree is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks Holly! I am loving looking at the tree and having my girl home!
DeleteI still love that tree so much! And Stash- I bet Brooke and you loved seeing him for a bit. It was a full weekend for you! That event that you worked is so neat for the kids; my boys used to do things very similar to that when they were young and always loved it. I love the Saturday night outfit that you wore! I'm sure you'll enjoy being home some this week. I'm excited to see your Christmas decor! Have a great day, my friend!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to have him here. Yes, I am ready to have a little down time at home.
DeleteHow nice to have a daughter in the house! Your tree is pretty. I think we'll get ours up this coming weekend. Enjoy having a less busy week!
ReplyDeleteIt has been a delight! I hope so!
DeleteWhat a fabulous weekend; I am sure you were so excited to see Brooke! I haven't been to a Touch a Truck even in ages and ages.
ReplyDeleteIt was such a fun event! I hadn't heard of these until last year.
DeleteYea for Brooke coming home! Jack has several long drives coming up in the next month, and you know I will be so relieved each time when he arrives safely. I love your new tree! We put our up this weekend, but haven't put the ornaments on yet. I'm waiting to see how Mollie the puppy does with the tree first.
ReplyDeleteI know you feel the relief when he is home. I am glad you will get some more time with the kids soon. I hope Mollie does good with the tree and gets use to the lights and branches before you decorate, ha!
DeleteFirst of all, Happy Belated Birthday! I have gone back and read and I'm so glad that so many people were able to make this one so special for you! And you got some beautiful gifts! I love your Christmas tree! It's coming along nicely! And I am so thankful your daughter made it home safely! I know having her home will be so much fun! That Touch a Truck event looks like so much fun! What is up with the pink MPD car?!? Haha! Love that!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mandy! It was a special birthday & I am so glad to have my daughter home! I hope you are doing well & have a good day!
DeleteYour tree looks great! I think I will do my decor on Wednesday since I am off work. I just added my Thanksgiving touches to my fall decor - lol. Better late than never.
ReplyDeleteYay for time with Brook! Have a great week!
Thank you! I am slowly getting all my other decor in place. You too!
DeleteYes to live music! It's my most favorite thing! I hope you enjoyed it! It's never a bad night when live music is involved. ;o)
ReplyDeleteEvery time I go hear live music I always wish I did it more often!
