Weekend Wrapup


Hello and happy Monday!  We are wrapping up a 3-day weekend here.  I wish we had planned something, but I kind of forgot that Michael had the day off!  Here's a look at some highlights from the weekend.



On Friday, I had lunch with some friends to celebrate a birthday.  We ate at Orleans Seafood Kitchen.  I had never been to that restaurant and enjoyed the Cajun shrimp and rice.  On Friday night, we randomly picked My Cousin Vinny to watch.  It was a really fun blast from the past!


On Saturday, we went out to shop at Sam's Club.  I wanted to stock up on pool chemicals since I have heard the prices will be going up even more this summer.  We also stopped at the grocery store and picked up some steaks to grill for dinner.




We spent some time on the patio enjoying the Texas winter weather.  We continued our 80's themed movies by watching The Breakfast Club.


I started working on this cross stitch Jack gave me for Christmas.



Meanwhile, over in Georgia, Grace and her roommate went hiking at a state park.  They also explored the town of Acworth for shopping and dinner.


And over in Alabama, Jack was having a blast at the Auburn basketball game.  We were so excited to see him on tv!  The bucket hats were a giveaway at this game.  He loves going to the basketball games.  They were midcourt a few rows up for this game since they started waiting in line around 1pm for the 7:00 game!


Sunday morning we had Trader Joe's chocolate croissants for breakfast.



On Sunday, we went to see the movie Plane.  It was surprisingly good and kept me on the edge of my seat.  I wouldn't want to watch it on an airplane!  This was just a good, old-fashioned action/adventure movie.  


And last of all, Sunday was Albie's 8th birthday!  We bought him a McDonald's burger to celebrate.  Yes, this is what happens when you are an empty nester...ha, ha!

Have a wonderful week!

    I wish I had planned more, too, but your weekend looks divine to me! I was able to sit outside, too. That sun gave me life! I love your outdoor area and would love a fireplace like that.

  6. How cool that you saw Jack on tv?! I also love what Grace and her friends were doing. I know you love knowing that they're living life to the fullest, even if it's been an adjustment. Do you and your hubby have a trip coming up with the two of you again? Todd and I have one coming up in March! I can't wait. We're going to Louisville, Kentucky for three nights and staying in an air BNB. We have a friend named John who lives there (or near) and we'll be meeting up with him and his wife Stacy at least one time for lunch or dinner, then we'll explore on our own. It's so good to have something to look forward to together!

    Happy Birthday, Albie! We saw Plane this weekend as well, it was excellent! Do you have Paramount Plus? We watched Devotion which we missed when it was at the theatre.
