Weekends

Yesterday, was Saturday and Ben jumps up out of his chair around 11:30 a.m. and announces that we were going to to to Williams to go walk around and get out of the house.  I was excited when he said that! I wasn't in the mood to do things that need to get done around the house but I wasn't wanting to sit at home either so it was perfect!

We walked around Williams in some of the shops. The weather was perfect, it was sunny and warm but not too warm with a nice breeze blowing at times. We bought Karlee a birthday gift from one of the shops. Before we left we went to a coffee shop and got a couple of frappes, mine was green tea and it was so yummy and Ben's was cookies and cream with some coffee.

Later in the afternoon we went to have a drink at a bar called Roadhouse, its in Bellmont.  Its closing soon and Ben had spent a ton of time there in the past so he wanted to go check it out and have one last drink there.  We laughed when we saw the white claw surf board it made us think of Karlee and Natalie.  I took a pic and sent it to them and said they should have one and hang it in their extra room.  Karlee sent back a laughing face.

After we got back from having a drink and driving the back roads with a load of water we grabbed a drink and sat out on the back porch for a while. 

For some reason I painted a couple quick ones and they both are for October.  I found it funny since this September.  I took a canvas that Sara had messed up on and after slapping some of the black and grey paint on it I decided it needed to be the cute little ghost.  The little painting is suppose to be a spooky night.  I took the left over paint from the other one and covered it and let it dry and then I made it a night painting to go with the little boo ghost.

Today is Sunday and I'm working on the laundry.  Ben helped me clean the kitchen. I swept the kitchen floor and vacuumed the living room before the vacuum died.  I made some deviled eggs and now I've ran out of energy and plan on relaxing and resting the rest of the day until I make dinner.  

Last weekend was a long weekend.  It was Labor Day Weekend.  We stayed home and didn't do too much since we had just gotten back from our trip.  I made a point last weekend to slow down and enjoy the weekend. 

I painted these over the long the weekend. I really like them. I think they came out pretty good.

Ben smoked a stuffed meat loaf, mac and cheese and pork ribs.

Love our weekends, filled with time for each other, time to rest, and time to do chores and things around the house and time to make and enjoy yummy food.
