Last week was rough at work, so I was really looking forward to three glorious days off. I want to say I made the most of them - I think I did. I felt rested by Tuesday, and ready for work.
On Saturday we planned a BBQ rib feast for Firstborn, complete with ribs, BBQ beans, jalapeno poppers, fries, and birthday cake with ice cream.
I hope he never tires of cake decorated with M&M's and fat candles!
I'm betting that 29 is his best year yet! Live your twenties!!!
For most of Saturday we putseyed around the house and I ran an errand or two. We ordered pizza for lunch and also enjoyed the firepit.
Nothing earth-shatteringly exciting and just perfect.
The next day we got up early and headed to Highlands. We had a load of various things to to take up there but zero projects planned. We found a cute restaurant in Liberty Hill to have a giant breakfast of biscuits, gravy, sausage, and eggs. Then we lazed the afternoon away until around 4 p.m.
and headed to Torr Na Lochs. We sat at the firepit area with a full bottle and some friendly folks. The day before, the winds were kind of ridiculous, but on Sunday it was mild and only slightly breezy.
I'm a sucker for firepits.
On the way home we noticed the moon rising,
and a beautiful sunset.
The best pics I got from a moving truck!
The next day I went to Brenham to see my mother and take her a lunch. I would call it a so-so visit, as she seemed a little testy and had two projects for me to do which took all of 5 minutes. Some visits are like that. Hubby texted me that he was leaving work early, so we decided to do a Monday Funday Happy Hour!
First stop was Oskar Blues, and we sat outside to enjoy the glorious weather.
I love these giant garage door style windows that open onto decks where folks can sit outside. The day was young so we decided to visit Celis as well.
Celis has one of my favorite beers - the oatmeal stout.
Hubby had something that was "chocolate". We probably could have skipped dinner after our beer run, but we enjoyed some tilapia at home and called it a day. This week I am working the late shift on Friday and on-call for the weekend so I can play catch up with mini projects I've been meaning to do. And when I blink next, January will be close to finished!
