Hello Monday

 Hello Monday friends!  I am recapping a little bit from last week and the weekend since I didn't post on Friday.  I was tired last week & so the blog took a back seat for the rest of the week.  


Today is this precious girl's 6th birthday!  We had our lunch and shopping date last week.  I love this tradition with my greats. Friday night, I went to her birthday party with all the family. 

Last week, my co-workers and I went to a fundraising event/crawfish boil one afternoon.  They had good live music and it was nice to be out of the office.

The next day, we got frozen yogurt together.  We witnessed a car crash and a first date, which I mentioned both have similarities, ha!

With help, I finally got this garage closet finished and I am so pleased! There is a shelf I can place at the bottom, but for now, I am not using it.  I am storing my winter coats and extra outdoor shoes and rain boots here.

I worked on getting my back porch nice to sit outside.
And that is where I sat Saturday morning for my cinnamon sourdough bread and Amy's egg quiche.  I changed mine up a little bit and used bacon bits.  I mixed 6 eggs, maybe a 1 cup of cottage cheese (I didn't even measure),  real bacon bits, and some mozzarella cheese and baked it at 350 for 30-40 minutes.  It is a delicious healthy breakfast to eat all week.

Outside of a few little errands that took me under an hour, I was home all day Saturday and loved it.  I love that my errands are all close by where I live.  My good friend from San Antonio was in town, so he came to visit Saturday afternoon.  He has been a family friend of ours for the past 21 years.  Jenn came over to visit and was able to meet him too.  I love having my people knowing each other! Jenn stayed over for dinner too.

Sunday, I walked to church and I love being able to do that.  I ran 2 quick errands, sold some more things on marketplace, which I have been doing a lot of and then was home for the afternoon.  A friend came over and she and I sat by the pool.  Clearly I did not get in since I was wearing my sneakers!

Sunday evening, I walked back to church because we have a dinner one Sunday night a month together.  It is always nice & I had a friend come over after for a visit.

It was a great weekend being at home mostly, but having lots of friends coming and going.  

Hope you have a lovely start to your week and thanks for reading!

  2. What a perfect weekend! I almost called you to see if you were sitting at the pool yesterday, but I opted for a quick nap instead. Ha! I loved getting to meet Larry Ray and hearing the stories from a long time ago...I love having a face with a name now. Thanks for letting me join y'all! I'm looking forward to seeing you tonight!

  3. Sounds like such a nice relaxed weekend. I love the red and white striped top!! I'd love being able to walk to things in town but I live in the country, which means a drive. It's got it's perks too of course, but walking everywhere appeals to me. Have a good week!

  8. What a lovely weekend with the best kind of busy! I love your back porch area to sit - so pretty and cozy. I think it would be so cool to be close enough to walk to church or shops. My Aunt's place is like that in her town and I told her I always feel like I'm in a hallmark movie because she can walk to everything and it's so cute. So glad you had lots of fun with friends and family too. Blessings on your week. xoxo
