It was another great weekend! Our weather right now is just beautiful. Our not-too-hot and not-too-cool winter weather with no humidity is amazing! This whole week ahead has our temps in the low-mid 70s. Perfect!! Being off work is also pretty amazing right now!
Thursday we went out to dinner with our Canadian neighbors, Jill & Murray. Mexican food was great! On Friday, Joe met with one of his tax clients and the rest of the day was free. Joe went to play Nickels at the clubhouse Friday evening (I've been skipping it lately).
On Saturday, I didn't get out of bed until nearly 9:00 a.m.! It was glorious! LOL Saturday was also laundry day and cleaning day. I made cheese tortellini soup on Friday and we had the leftovers on Saturday along with a sandwich. Easy peasy.
We attended church on Sunday at our new church home, Redeemer PCA. We are loving it and, best of all, Joe loves it too. Here is a picture I took of the sanctuary before services.
They had a little strawberry shortcake social after services. It was very nice. Next week we begin the classes to lead us to membership. Looking forward to that!
I decorated a bit for Easter and like my little tiered trays on the buffet...
Helen and Cheryl came over to share corned beef and cabbage with us, to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. I forgot to take photos, but here is the recipe I used. Everyone enjoyed it. I sent leftovers home with them and there are enough for us tonight! It was good! I happen to really love cooked cabbage.
We don't have a really busy week ahead. Nothing on the calendar for today. Later this week we have haircuts and fasting labs for both of us. I'm thinking about doing some spring cleaning. Curtains can be taken down and washed. Windows can be washed. We'll see if I get that motivated! LOL
On Sunday we are meeting a friend for lunch who is down this way on vacation. She emailed me about getting together as she and her friend travel from Long Boat Key to Orlando, right through Lakeland. Kathy was our neighbor when we lived in Virginia, before moving to Florida 30 years ago. It's been 10 years or more since we saw her last and we are looking forward to catching up with her. When we were neighbors, she was a school teacher and is now retired. She still lives in the same house. We have been so blessed with wonderful neighbors wherever we have lived. I will get pictures, for sure!
Thanks for your visit!! Have a great week, my friends!
Peace & hugs! God bless!!
I love cabbage too, in any form! Glad you had a peaceful weekend with no job to have to go to. Enjoy while you can. So happy you have found a church that you both enjoy and can participate in. Have a good week ahead.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of church is that? It reminds me of mine.
ReplyDeletePresbyterian Church of America (PCA). We are loving it.
DeleteSounds like you had a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Sounds like a wonderful weekend! Enjoy your quiet week ahead, Terri.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a nice weekend, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI would have liked to join you for dinner!
I love corned beef and cabbage, but nobody else here does!
We did have shepherds pie to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, and it was good. : )
Enjoy your week, Teri!
Especially the nice weather!
Sounds like you are enjoying your time off Terri! I have lots of chores today as well....but whether they get done or not, we will see!:)
ReplyDeleteWishing you a splendid week ahead.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I will take those seats over church benches!! Glad you have found a church you feel comfortable in... :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun reunion that will be!!!
ReplyDeleteLoving your Easter tier decoration!
I'm so jealous of your staying in bed so long on Saturday... that's my goal for this Saturday with no more infusions! :)
Your weekend was delightful, indeed, Terri. I love your Easter decorations, too. Have an amazing week!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
It sounds like you're thoroughly enjoying your respite from the job, Terri! How wonderful that Joe enjoys your new church, too! Enjoy that great 'chamber of commerce' day!
ReplyDeleteMy mother has an Easter centerpiece that she drags out every year. Bunnies are cute 'n' fluffy. Creepiest looking rabbit you ever did see.
ReplyDeleteYour weekend sounded very nice. The Mexican food sounds so good, my mouth watered when I read about it. It looks like you are getting all ready for Easter. I hope you have a wonderful week sweet Terri. Hugs and blessings
ReplyDeleteThe weather really has been beautiful! I wanted to walk today but I didn't have time to get out after volunteering at the Hospice house. Maybe tomorrow! I love the strawberries now too. Sounds like you have lots of fun things to do this week...friends to see and places to go! ENJOY!
ReplyDeleteI also loved cooked cabbage a lot! We had cottage pie and colcannon last night. It was delicious.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a super comfy weekend :) I'm looking forward to nicer weather soon here in Michigan!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a good weekend...and you are ambitious if you do all that spring cleaning...I should do that...I keep thinking we will sell this house and I can wait until we move...but that doesn't seem to be happening so I guess I'd better get busy and so something. Happy that your corned beef and cabbage turned out so well. My corned beef was rather fatty and gristly, and I was very disappointed. Bought it at Publix. It was plenty tender, but just too much fat. So I didn't enjoy it much. We DID enjoy the pot roast that I cooked Sunday for Scott's birthday dinner... that turned out perfectly, and we had beef stew over biscuits tonight...still have some leftover for tomorrow's lunch too. Then it's back to salad. LOL> Have a good week. God bless you.
ReplyDeleteThat corned beef and cabbage sounds so good. I love cooked cabbage.
ReplyDeleteSpring cleaning? Wow, I would love to get some of that done if I can ever figure out how to get an extra day in my week!
