It was a very low key weekend that started out with tacos and yardwork at Camp Rustown. {yes, I grated cheese directly on the table} I figured it would be easier to order the tacos on-line, then drive over there and have them place them in my front seat. But when I called the number posted at the parking space, they told me to drive thru. I could've just done that to begin with! Note to future self: make your own tacos.
We kept the adult drinking down to a minimum this weekend, but I did enjoy a lemon Pellegrino with frozen strawberries and splash of gin. It was cool and refreshing - the weekend weather was just regular old summer heat. We headed over to Save The World with our late lunch after picking up a few things at the bustling Marble Falls Wally World.
We took our beer to go and later we enjoyed it during the cool of the evening at Highlands while Hubby made a chicken and potato Dutch oven dinner. Everything seems greener at the end of the summer when we get so much rain.
We played cards until bedtime, and both of us were so tired. Since we had put some carpet down in the barn, we slept on the cots in there to see how comfortable it would be for guests. The A/C kept it nice and cool and the cots are OK, we just need new pillows. It was a nice Saturday.
The next day I cut Hubby's hair, he trimmed some trees, we finally got the swing repainted and on solid ground.
We took four of the pavers from up at the barn and gave the swing feet a solid surface to rest on. We had to sink a couple of them further down to get it to hang level and we spray painted it first since it had some rust here and there. We also cut back some evil stick cactus that was a little too close for comfort. This swing is over 20 years old.
It sits a little lower on this particular hill, but still has a pretty sweet view.
And after we admired it a bit, it was time to head back home. This week promises some cooler weather and we have a wedding anniversary coming up!
