Long Lunch Date Weekend Recap

Howdy do all.  Back at the top of the week again.  Why are the weekends barreling at warp speed this year?  Sigh. Saturday we did what was essentially a 3 hour lunch date. I couldn't handle being around the house anymore this weekend and we live in the center of "no exciting places to road trip" central.  We headed to Portillo's and there's a little park we like to walk at since it was a nice day.

  3. Happy Weekend! Hope you are able to go to the antique show and the weather holds out. Had a meeting this morning that I lead, took the dogs for an hour drive in the country, and am waiting for the hubs to get home from work and we will cut the lawn. Then it's World Cup Hockey and college football. I had a very long day yesterday and I'm still feeling wiped out. But it's a nice, sunny day so that should give me an energy boost. =o)
