Memorial Day Weekend Recap

Hello all and Happy Memorial Day!  I hope many of you are enjoying an extra day off today.  We are blessed to have a super unseasonably cool weekend upon us to actually enjoy.  (Well, for someone like me!)  When you have to wear a jacket on walks, I say it's a victory given how many Memorial Days we've spent drenched in flop sweat.  So I am going to enjoy the cool spell while I can.  We had a ton of rainy, cold days which were good for my soul but my newly planted veggies and flowers weren't necessarily happy about it.  Whoops!  The first hint of sun they got was Friday so I'm sure they were happy to know they could actually get some sun instead of thinking they lived in London.  I have mentioned our a-hole squirrels/chipmunks around here and I saw one sniffin' around the zinnias in the side bed so what did I have to do? Obviously I can't have them there forever but until they're not as wee, I think they should be helpful.  I had a delig...

Well, it's over


The Christmas holiday is over.  Families are packing to head back to their respective homes. Leftovers are being picked at.  Squishy tummies full of one too many cookies or second helpings of Aunt Marie's famous casserole are being grabbed with disdain and shaken with a bit of regret and promises to get right back on track.

For all of the rushing around, picking out the perfect gifts for those special people in your life, making time to get in a few holiday events and movies with the tree lit, baking new and old recipes to have and share...you get today.

A day of reflection.

A day to sit back and look at the whirlwind and wonder what the hell happened and where did the time go?

A day to make promises of getting a better plan of attack for next year and being about 90% sure you won't follow through with it.

A day to curl up in your new jammies or slippers with a cup of hot tea with the tree plugged in.  Or if you have to work, share heartwarming (or war) stories with people.  You're all having the same emotional holiday hangovers in varying degrees.

Save the returns for another day, you don't want to be out in that mess.

Just exhale.  You made it.

Share your favorite memory from this weekend!

    I got to skype for over an hour with my mom and my brother and his family over 1,000 miles away. Grateful to him for helping set it up and keeping the family close even though we are so far away.

    This was the most relaxed I've been for a holiday in ages. My shopping and wrapping were all done ahead of time, but what really made it nice was preparing dinner the night before so all I had to do was pop it in the oven. All the dishes were done, so it was truly a relaxing day. I enjoyed that immensely.
