Weekend Wrap Up

Hello Monday!  When I saw that today's prompt for the Not Just a Mom link up was "Day in the Life - Weekend Edition," I decided to make an effort to snap some pictures during our regular weekend activities.  Here's a look at a few days in the life - weekend wrap up edition.

The first thing I did on Friday was go to my new ladies walking group.  This time I already knew everyone who came (always a nice feeling) and talked with a lady who had lived in the UK for 5 years around the same time we did.  

Michael finished work a little early and we went out for a late lunch.  We went to Perry's Steakhouse to celebrate the recent news of his bonus.  They have great lunch specials - Michael had their famous pork chop and I had the salmon.  Is salmon still a healthy choice when it has a giant pat of butter on top...hmmm?

After lunch, we strolled around the shopping center.  We popped into Eddie Bauer, and laughed to see that their new logo seems to be Bigfoot!  The Bigfoot emblem was on all of their polo style shirts...so funny!  

They also had the water bottle cleaning tablets that I ordered on Amazon for the same price...surprising.  By the way, the inside of Michael's metal coffee mugs are sparkling clean now.  I let them sit overnight, much longer than the hour the directions suggested.

We wrapped up Friday night by watching the last episode of Pokerface...loved it!

A coffee to start Saturday morning.  I usually pull out the milk frother on the weekends when I take more time to savor my coffee.

I have been on the struggle bus lately to read my daily Bible Recap passages.  I just have to climb back in the saddle and pick up where I left off.  

Even when I don't read the Bible Recap plan, I always look at the daily verse the Bible app along with the video devotional.  I loved Saturday's verse.  Our world is so crazy and distracting, and I try to remember that God's word is our instruction manual for life.

I have been picking up extra "shifts" at the library when other volunteers can't come in.  I like going on a Saturday before they open - so quiet!

Saturday afternoon we headed into town for a late lunch and a play.  We had a really delicious lunch at Adair Kitchen.

You can't see it all in this picture, but my salad had chicken, candied walnuts, avocado, and strawberries with a green goddess dressing...yum!

We went to the George theater to see a play about C.S. Lewis.  This one-man show is a sequel to the play and movie The Most Reluctant Convert.  It was so interesting to learn more about Lewis' life, and now we want to watch the movie.  The one-man play was enhanced by the big video screen behind the stage.  It was a really unique production, and we loved the discussion session with the actor/writer at the end.

Michael's mom just had knee replacement surgery, so we stopped by to see her at the rehab hospital.  Look at the sunset.

On Sunday, we went to church.  After running a few errands, we had lunch at the Brass Tap - a new restaurant for us.  

From there, we went home and did some yard and pool clean up.  This is the time of year when the oak trees drop pollen and squiggly pods.  We had 3 large trashbags full just from the front sidewalk and driveway!  

After the chores, we watched a few episodes of Daisy Jones out on the patio.  It was Spring Forward daylight savings time change - nice to have the extra sunlight, but I had a hard time going to bed that night.  

And on to another week...
