Weekend re-cap: Brenham, work, nothing much

Last Friday I took a day off to visit my mother in Brenham.  

I signed up to work 11-7 on Saturday since Hubby was going to be at a Scout event, doing dutch oven cooking.  It was steady busy all day and it was 7 p.m. before I knew it.  I met Hubby at home, changed out of my scrubs quick!, and we stopped at a seafood restaurant on the way to Highlands.  We've passed this place for years and never really noticed it, but it got mostly good reviews on-line.
We got to Highlands pretty late - sat in the moonlight for a while, drank a little wine, played some cards. Very relaxing.

 Our bluebonnets made such a pitiful showing this year - I hope we get more rain next year.  The lake levels are down, too.  But it is supposed to rain a bunch this week.

 We putseyed around until one or so, then took a snack tray over to one of the many small meadows to sit in our camp chairs.



 
We took a lazy Sunday nap, then showered in our pumphouse shower, and I felt so much better afterwards!  At home, Scout and Dutch came for Chili Mac, which was delish, and we all ate and visited together.  And as usual, the weekend ended too soon with Hubby and I crashing before 9:30.  But here we are at Hump Day, and the next weekend is coming on fast.

What a great daughter you are! I’ll bet your mom really looks forward to your visits. How lovely that she made food for you. What I wouldn’t give to have another lunch with my mom.

I know how blessed your mom feels when you spend time with her...and help out with chores that are no longer easy for her. My girl and boy do the same for me and I know how blessed I feel.
