We traveled up to Highlands on Saturday with all of the supplies, intending to install a new water filter in the barn and call it done so we could just kick back the rest of the weekend.
{So many big stumps at Highlands}
The plumbing repair didn't exactly happen as planned, but we were able to find a stopping point around 2 pm and head to 7 Creeks to hear Spicy Loops and perhaps meet my sister and BIL.
They arrived just after the music ended, but we enjoyed socializing with them for a while and we were all there until closing. We headed to Captain D's for our dinner, then back at Highlands we reviewed the wildlife camera footage which, interestingly, showed a neighbor's large dogs prowling the area, along with deer and foxes.
On Sunday, we realized there were more parts needed for the filter repair, so to Marble Falls we traveled to pick those up. While Hubby did the repair, I grilled. I grilled some chicken quarters, salmon patties, and okra - all so good!
I packaged up the chicken quarters for future meals and we enjoyed the salmon and okra for lunch. If you've never grilled okra you are missing out, its far better than fried. We enjoyed lunch, finished up the project, and lounged. Then we packed it all up for the trip home.
It was hard to leave.
This coming weekend we are determined NOT to pack tools nor open the storage unit for any supplies, unless it involves simple putseying around. We have two wine club pick-ups and plans to socialize, listen to music, and enjoy some great wine and maybe some spring-like weather!
