Weekend Wrapup

Hello Monday, friends!  I hope you had a good weekend filled with summer fun.  Here's a look at a few highlights from our weekend.

Friday I walked in the morning with the group from church.  We got started at 7:15am, and that made the heat a little more tolerable.  I'm so thankful I found this group, even though I only occasionally go on Friday's.  It is nice to have the group chat with support from friends.  

After I got home and cooled off, Jack talked me into re-joining the Y.  We have a brand new facility near our new neighborhood, and he has been going almost everyday for weight lifting.  I had put my membership on pause due to inactivity, but he convinced me to give it another go.  

Michael got home late Friday night, after a long day of travel.  Air travel right now is kind of crazy.  His flight was delayed for over 3 hours, and I know several people who have dealt with much longer delays and cancellations.  We were so happy to see him!  It took him a long time this weekend to recover from the jet lag.

I was so excited to see what treats he brought back from England.  Cadbury chocolate...yum!  Bendick's was new to me, and a delicious dark chocolate mint.

He brought some Indian spices for Grace.

I think I mentioned that Cath Kidston is closing down. 

Look at this fun advent calendar, along with my very last CK bag!

Eeeek...I was so excited about this one!  When Michael said he was going into Fortnum and Mason, I jumped online to peruse the Coronation items.  I asked him to pick up the commemorative cup if he saw it.  Look at this beautiful box!  I had seen this video about the artist that created this design.

This up is just beautiful and such a treasure to me!  I have put it away in its box and will use it for special occasions I think.

On Saturday, we went to a new coffee shop to continue our weekend tradition.  This one (Ziggi's) was just ok.  I missed the real cups with frothy art on my latte, and the food was average in taste.  It was still a nice morning out, with a quick trip to the grocery store afterward.

Later in the day, Grace came home for a one-night stay.  We had a family dinner with grilled chicken, corn on the cob, salad, and apple pie.  Then Jack went to play guitar at his regular gig.

On Sunday, I wasn't feeling well in the morning with a headache and upset stomach.  I started feeling a little better after lunch, and Grace and I went to see the Little Mermaid.  We both loved it!  The imagery and underwater scenes are incredible, and I loved that they pretty much stayed true to the original Disney classic.  

We wrapped up Sunday, with Jack getting home from a full day of work and the guys watching a movie.  We also worked on hanging some more things in the "man cave."   

On a side note, I feel like the lighting and focus has been "off" on my iPhone pictures.  I have an iPhone 10 and looked up "decreased camera photo quality."  It seems to be a problem with some others, so I am going to play around with the settings to see if I can restore the quality.  Anyone else run into this issue?  I know that battery life becomes an issue as a phone ages.  Maybe this is something else that goes downhill?

Hope you have a marvelous Monday!
