Boring Weekend Recap
source Monday, we meet again. You come on like lightning you saucy wench. I hope you all had a great weekend and managed to keep cool. We got up to 96 at different times so that's...fun. I have to start with these two cards I got in the mail Thursday night. The big paper one is from the friends we gifted our old grill to. The Mr and I cracked up at the hot dog 'thanks' on what is an exact image of the grill along with a lovely note from the Mrs of the couple thanking us profusely as they didn't have money to replace their grill that was falling apart. The other is from my friend I've known since 1988 and he doesn't send out cards much so this was a surprise. It was him telling us how lucky he is to have us a friends and how much we mean to him and he thought we should know. It made me cry for sure (and then of course check in to make sure he was okay.

No time for a drive lately but there hasn't been any color change to inspire one just yet. I may or may not buy some mums for out front (supposed to hit freezing Thursday night, so I'm debating). The hubs and I will take a drive out to the apple orchard (hey, there's our scenic drive! LOL) on a Thursday in the next couple of weeks to get the best apple cider donuts I've ever had and maybe some blueberry jam. Other than that, nada. I'm ordering some fallish candles so that might bright out a more festive spirit in me. =o)

Every weekend has been busy between kid's school activities and my own work commitments so no leaf peeping for us. I'm thinking about making a quick run up to the mountains tomorrow after his play practice, but it might be a little late in the season already.
