Weekend re-cap: Highlands, Save The World, Suds Monkey, Bell Springs

The Girl was coming in for a week-long visit on Saturday afternoon, so Hubby and I decided to head to Highlands on Friday night after I got home from work.  The plan was to get up early and get finished with the trim inside of the barn.  But both of us were pooped out from the week, so sleeping in happened first!  

 We spent about 7 hours on it and it is STILL not finished and I didn't take even one photo of the process.  Maybe next time.  It was so hot out - 103 - so we ran the A/C the whole time and it struggled to keep up with us going back and forth to the outside.  We will call it "done for now" after we finish the trim, caulk the seams, and paint.  It will be a cute and comfy little efficiency apartment when we're done.  

 We got cleaned up, picked up some tacos, and headed to Save The World to enjoy a beer.

There were several couples there, but no families with kids, and it was nowhere near as busy as it usually is this time of year.  I cannot wait for things to go back to some sort of pre-Covid normal.  Back at home, we visited with The Girl and ate a spaghetti supper.

On Sunday I got some errands done and Hubby and I had lunch at home, playing cards, listening to music, and snacking on crawfish sushi rolls which were pretty tasty.  The Girl was busy with other plans, so he and I headed to Dripping Springs for some pizza at Suds Monkey mid-afternoon.

 The garlic knots and salad with fresh shaved parmesan were also wonderful!

This place is a hole in the wall, for sure, but its our new favorite pizza place and they have good beer and both times we went, they were doing a brisk business.  

We decided it was too early to go home, so we swung by Bell Springs to see if they were open.  We used to be wine club members here and have always enjoyed their wines.  It was hot out, but we (and quite a few others) were safely distancing under the cedars, enjoying the afternoon.  

Then we headed home with our leftover pizza and watched a bit of TV before finally calling it a day.   And that weekend went by waaaay too fast!
