SATURDAY
Some weekends are made for relaxing and doing absolutely nothing at all.
Some weekends are made for going out with friends and family and just having fun.
Some weekends happen to include the best of both worlds. 😀
Matthew and Kelsey came down for the weekend, so we (Nicole, Nate and I) went to meet up for drinks and appetizers on Saturday night.
Nicole and I split the Mediterranean Hummus Plate. It was filled with feta cheese, kalamata olives, and fresh veggies. The grilled pita chips were so perfect; flaky on the surface but warm and doughy on first bite. Perfect.
We ended up talking most of the night away. I can’t remember the last time that I went to bed so late, but it actually felt really good. Especially since I’ll have available catch-up time on Monday morning (not that our bodies can truly, honestly, ever “catch up” according to the sleep experts, but I gave a big *harumph* to that idea for this weekend! 😉 )
SUNDAY
I’m pretty sure God knew what He was doing when He decided to give us Sunday as a day of rest. We all deserve the break, really, and it felt wonderful to have nothing on the ol’ to-do list.
Nothing.
Nothing but a nice long walk with the family.
Have I ever mentioned how in love I am with the fall? I wish it would never end. 😀
We ran across a big black cow on our walk, and he (she?) was the sweetest thing ever. I was hoping it would follow us home, but to no avail. I guess he must have decided that the grass was much greener on his own side of the fence. 😉
Dad treated us to dinner from our family favorite pizza shop, and we all crowded around the table to indulge in a veggie pizza. The perfect ending for the weekend, if I do say so myself. 😀
I love busy, fun-filled Saturdays.
I love, love, love lazy Sundays.
Love. 😀
Question: What made you *smile* this weekend?
