A 3 day Mother's Day weekend was fun, but as usual, I was worn out on Monday.
We left our volunteer gig at the winery and headed to Burnet, intending to stop at the same place we had the Highlands sign made and purchase one of their firepits. But after mulling the price for about 30 minutes, we decided to check the local hardware store. Found an almost identical pit for over $300 less. SOLD.
The bowl is a little less deep, and the foot rail and swing out top were reinforced. And the lady at the hardware store said she thought it was made by the same people at the welding shop. We got it offloaded and fired it right up! Friday evening was misting and 50 degrees - perfect firepit weather.
We used it all weekend and even woke up to it on Sunday. Delightful.
On Sunday we had a wine club pick-up at Perisso's.
We enjoyed pulled pork sammies, live music, and Dolcetto.
You could not have asked for a more lovely day.
Texas weather - cold one day, warm the next.
The place was packed with all sorts of mamas enjoying the beautiful day. We stayed a couple of hours, picked up our wine, then headed home to grill burgers.
Scout and Dutch came! They are back from a week on the coast enjoying a much-needed vacay. Both of them looked relaxed and happy. {Pififully, I got only one or two pics} We ate our burgers al fresco and enjoyed them with some baked beans and sangria. Firstborn and Bubbie even played a game with me while Hubby grilled! It was a relaxing evening.
On Wednesday I got my teeth cleaned and is usually the case, I hadn't had time for breakfast. Since I schedule early appointments, I've been running through this nearby shop and grabbing a protein smoothie afterwards. It makes my mouth and my tummy feel much better. I should get one of those Ninja blenders - we would use it often.
I cannot get a decent pic of the Mother's Day necklace Hubby got me, but I love it. the main pendant is a charm holder that you can switch out charms on whenever you like. It came with a bluebonnet charm and calcedony bead - this pic does it no justice. The bluebonnet charm is so detailed and the bead is an amazing shade of blue. I know I will wear it and love it for years to come.
