Last week was rough at work, so I was reeeeallly 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 had planned to have one glass, but got sucked into 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 {which Hubby later admired with the neighbors since I could not stay up for that}...
...and a beautiful, distracting 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. {Taking note of such things for Highlands} The day was young (5 p.m) so we decided to hit 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!
