My Week-ends....

I got this photo of

Branched Oak Lake from the internet...

the photographer kindly posted a link,

with permission for others to post on their blogs or forums..

I thought that was very nice of him.

I do have photos of the lake...but they're on my phone

and I have NO IDEA how to get them off.

My daughter in law took the photos...

(I have no idea how to take photos with my phone either)...

and I guess I'll have to have her show me how to get them

from my phone to my computer.

It's taken me a while to be able to relax and enjoy my

week-ends...(I'm a bit of a work-a-holic)

but now I find that they are simply WONDERFUL.

I tend to come up with a lot of 'ideas' during the week-end...

so I'm beginning to use my 'trusty' little idea journal to capture them.

Otherwise...I tend to lose them.

I just LOVE my week-ends!

I LOVE my week-ends.

I've 'claimed' Saturdays as 'ME' days...

it's the one day of the week I devote to myself.

No work...unless that's what I 'feel' like doing...

I catch up on emails...

read and comment on my fave blogs...

putter around the house...

(this past Saturday I made homemade chicken noodle soup..

fresh dinner rolls and cinnamon rolls)

I write a few blog posts and schedule them...

I can always 're-schedule' if something more 'pressing' comes up...

(with my schedule being what it is...I can't always find the

time to post something new each and every day)

but I try not to schedule more than a couple a week.

I take a nice long relaxing bath....

do my laundry

(since I only have myself to do laundry for...once a week is plenty)

anyway...you get the picture...Saturdays I mostly

spend time with myself.

Then...every other Sunday

(unless a holiday sneaks it's way in there)

we have 'family' day.

The kids and grandkids come over..

we have some kind of dinner

and just 'hang out'.
(Jaime has to come over every Sunday...

we do have to 'meet' once a week..

since our businesses are somewhat intertwined...

and besides..

she has to bring over whatever she's printed for me..

any supplies she's included with her own orders..

that sort of thing.)

I wished my week-days were as relaxed and laid back!

Ah well...it is what it is.

A Quiet Week-end

I had a pretty quiet and uneventful week-end.

We had our 'family day' on Sunday...

wouldn't you know that was the only day

of the week-end that was a bit chilly and damp?

So..the kids were pretty much stuck inside...

they weren't real happy about that.

But..we did our birthdays for the month...

tried to go to the cemetary (but it was closed...really??)

Granted...it was after 8...I didn't see anything about

'hours of operation'...

so I'm not sure when they closed the gates...

so I'll save the visit now for Father's Day.

Didn't get my poppy again this year...

I went looking...but didn't run across

any of the Vets with their bouquets of paper poppies.

Spent Memorial Day alone...

used it to try to come up with some new pieces...

but

didn't have a lot of luck.

That was my week-end...all in all

very quiet.
