Weekending

Hello Everyone,
Finally the weather seems to have broken a bit.  It actually feels wonderful out tonight!  It has been a wonderful weekend.
We got up early, early Saturday and met our son for breakfast at the Koffee Korner in Lansdale - a small, but great place to have breakfast.  Then we set out for Treweryn Farms Trail in Lower Gwynedd...a place I used to walk with my Dad.  It is a beautiful trail that is not strenuous in the least which is a good thing since it was very, very hot and humid before 9 a.m. 
We walked for about 1.5 to 2 hours which was longer than Fletch was hoping for.  Funny as he is in much better shape than I am, but is also much more uncomfortable in the heat and humidity.  By the time we were done walking, I could have wrung out my tee shirt.  We heard some birds and bull frogs, but only saw a few deer.
After a shower and some lunch, I spent the afternoon reading, napping and knitting.  A perfect day!
Today I made red beans and rice for dinner (love me some Cajun food), did a bit of shopping - found some great shoes at DSW for half price and a couple of cute tee shirts at Old Navy.  Oh, and check out my new slippers from Fletch:
Love these!  I had seen them at LL Bean and told Fletch and, since yesterday was my B-day, I got them!!  It's still a bit hot for them now, but come winter, they will be so cozy!
Tomorrow it's back to the work grind, but only 3 weeks or so and I will be heading to North Carolina for my annual Sisters' Weekend.  I don't have any "blood sisters," but my best friend for over 50 years has two sisters and they all adopted me many, many moons ago.  Once a year we all get together (rotating where we meet) and have a spa day, cooking, drinking wine, shopping, talking, more food, more talk, more wine, etc.  It's fabulous!  And exactly what my soul needs.  Can't wait.

  2. Oh, yes. I almost forgot. I'll have that box of soapy stuff on the way sometime this week. I think it should be getting cool enough to finally mail. It certainly was a brutal weekend here.
