We had a great weekend full of family. Tristan arrived about an hour before Joey and Darlene got here on Friday evening. After the hugs and greetings and unloading suitcases, we went out to dinner at Miller's Ale House. Ours has very good food and a plus is that they have a vegan and a gluten-free menu. Darlene likes to eat vegetarian so it is a favorite place for us to go when they are visiting. Back at home, we watched a movie and then headed off to bed.
Saturday was just hanging out and that was great. There was swimming, including the puppies, and Joe and Tristan spent a good bit of time going through old family photos. Darlene and I watched some HGTV and some Olympics were also worked in here and there. Saturday evening, we ate pasta and salad and had pie and ice cream for dessert. We also watched a couple more movies....
Sunday morning, we got up in stages and just had coffee and pastries as we wanted something. I offered to make pancakes, bacon and eggs, but no one wanted that much....and the danish was good, so who needed more than that?!
Joe and Darlene left around 11:30 and Tristan left around noon. They all arrived home safely, praise God. I even had time to get the laundry done!!
I neglected the Happiness Challenge on Sunday's post, so I'll post the 14th and 15th here together...
And this is Vinny, who is our only lap-sitter. He climbs into my lap whenever the computer isn't there and goes to sleep immediately. He is my huggy boy, but won't let me pick him up. It has to be on his terms. Vinny climbing into my lap always makes me happy!!
I wish you all a blessed week ahead and appreciate your visit today! Peace & hugs.!!
Sounds like a lovely weekend! My daughter comes home this weekend and we have an outing planed with both girls and boyfriends too - can't wait :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice weekend and the pool looks so inviting...how is Tristian doing? When does he start back to college?
ReplyDeleteHe is doing great. Focused and happy and thinking about ROTC and the Air Force! He goes back to Texas in two weeks.
Deletereally????? awesome news, Terri...please keep us updated, smiles
DeleteSo glad you had a good weekend. I especially loved seeing those family photos being a point of interest. I wish I had been more interested in family history when I was young!!
ReplyDeleteGreat post. Glad you had such a great weekend with people you love. Vine looks very sweet.
ReplyDeleteahhh - those wind chimes are awesome. Love the FROG thing :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great family weekend ... & with time left to still do laundry? Perfect!
I love swimming doggies
So nice that you have a pool...I'm sure it's very refreshing on these hot afternoons.
ReplyDeleteLoved that your weekend with family was so laid back. Looks like a great time. The FROG chimes are really nice and I would like to have chimes, but they bother DH! We motorcycles with a group of Christian bikers and one of the ladies had a three wheel motorcycle that was painted green, with big frog eyes on the headlights with long eyelashes and a big smile, and FROG on the back. Fully rely on God! Wish I had a pic for you.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds awesome!! Maybe I'll see her driving down the highway someday!!
DeleteSo happy you got to enjoy family this weekend. Tristan is such a fine young man and I know Joe was happy that he was interested in the pictures and 'stories' about family in past. Love the wind chime and sweet Vinny is so lovable. Hope your Monday hasnt been to bad.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos. Y'all have a nice looking family. I only eat vegetables if they're a side order with steak. *giggle* ~:)
ReplyDeleteYour weekend sounds perfect ... no stress, no muss, no fuss!
ReplyDeletePretty neat that Tristan is interested in old family photos and lore. Hard to say by their expressions, who enjoyed that stroll down memory lane more?
I'll not be forgetting that F.R.O.G. anagram anytime soon!
Looks like you had a very nice weekend! We have our "grandcat" Oliver here for the rest of the week and he is a lapcat too. I enjoy that!
ReplyDeleteSomehow I missed this yesterday. Glad you had a great weekend. I have a friend who loves frogs, too. And, orange tabbies are my favorite! Vinny is quite handsome!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you had a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm craving a danish... ;P
