Well, it could be that you've been to Disneyland or Fratello's or Italy... or it could be that you accomplished a few things and spent some good time relaxing.
Ours was the latter.
Here is a good indication that we had a good weekend...
1) There was food involved in most of the weekend... Saturday morning we got up and road our bikes to the farmer's market, and then to Aldi. There is something about picking up locally grown food on your bike. Does it taste better? Maybe... or maybe that's in my mind. But here is the result of our trip (we then spent Saturday evening sharing this with some new friends of ours). 
2) Joel was able to finish up a project on Friday - that I h
ave to say I am quite proud of. He bid on this, won the bid, and did a beautiful job. From this job, he has picked up two more... what can I say, he knows what he's doing! The line is forming... so please let him know if you have some work!

I only spent an hour on it (Sunday night at the last possible minute), but it did feel good when it was cleaned up a bit. But a question has been haunting me for five years now... what is this plant? It is a perenial... it has the fragrant smell (like an herb) but grows up from one central point (like a bush). And the bees LOVE IT! If you have any idea... let me know! 
4) We rested. We watched a few documentaries on Italy (one of the ways we're prepping). We socialized a little. We went to church. We read some of overwhelming volume of magazines (ps- if you like magazines, ask me how I get them free). I knit some more. Joel played in the garage a little (he got new tool bags... and you would think someone just sent him a million dollars!) That to us was a good weekend. Here's how I knew I had

ReplyDeleteBecky - you might be the only one reading this :) I have to train my family a little!
ReplyDeleteOkay - free magazines... well, I follow a bunch of blogs that tell me where to find free stuff (www.couponcravings.com). From there I found more blogs to follow. Then you just follow their links and sign- up. I have at least 6 subscriptions!
Ok, I do that, too. I just haven't come across any "good" ones lately. :)
ReplyDeleteLast year, I was able to get a subscription to Good Housekeeping and Women's Day for free. They have both run out, now, but I haven't heard of any new offers :( I'm debating actually having to *pay* for a magazine subscription :)
