Let's get this weekend started!

Admidst steadily working on my summer bucket list, which is coming along, we enjoyed a (somewhat) relaxing July 4th  

I prepped sides and Hubby grilled.  Our only two guests were Bubbie and Firstborn, but we enjoyed a feast!

Baby back ribs, a crockpot full of beans, coleslaw, queso and fritos (yes, that qualifies as a side dish), watermelon, and a pan of chocolate chip pecan oatmeal bars.  (I'll have to post the recipe for those bars soon!)

I could eat ribs once a week...

We also worked on finding an apartment in San Marcos for Bubbie (and tried not to freak out that classes start in 7 weeks and we have a crap ton left to do.  I think we found the place for him, though, and we are going to check it out tomorrow, hopefully sign a lease, and get him acquainted with the area.

 It was nice to see Firstborn in a silly mood - he looks well.

 And don't let this deadpan look fool you, he was just as happy about the ribs as I was!  At 2:30, I left for work (which was surprisingly busy) and Hubby and Bubbie took in the fireworks in Cedar Park.  And today I feel a little tired, but my To Do list is brimming and I have the day off and a quiet house to myself! 

Happy Friday!
