The summer week I am not sad to see end

It was "one of those weeks", a mix of tying up some loose ends and working on future projects.
Reba's in Giddings

A trip to Brenham was made, with a stopover at a restaurant in Giddings that a friend and I used to meet at for lunch.  Sometimes Mom and I went here, too.  Their new location is BIG - a space where a furniture store used to be.  Mom and I bought her little loveseat here many years ago after she moved to Brenham.  She would have enjoyed this burger - we did love being Ladies Who Lunch.
the burger and fries were amazing

I got many things done this week, including:
*met with Mom's executor one last time
*bought groceries and did errands
*cleaned the front door area and transom window
*enjoyed martinis with The Girl
*set up the mower maintenance and tree-trimming
*got my CEU's loaded into a new system
*caught up on book club reading
*and barely cooked!

I tried not to think too hard about how final this last trip to Brenham felt.  Saw Mom's house - it looks nice and the new owner is happy there.  Next week will feel challenging too, as it makes 5 years since we lost Mark. July feels a little hard right now.  But like I told a friend, I know it won't feel this way forever.
Happy weekend!
