Monday

Hi all,

Just reporting in with hope for a great week.

This week my gym is having it's annual clean-up so you know what that means ------ I don't have to get up at 4:45 a.m. YEAH! Something so simple makes me so happy. I will go to my other gym in the afternoon instead (which I could do daily but I would rather get my workout out of the way in the morning -- after all, they do say it's better for you to work out in the morning). Anyhow, I will get some much needed extra sleep this week.

This past weekend is what you would consider "low key" for me. Friday night we had an amazing time with our friends Franci and Marc. We went to the Texas Roadhouse and introduced them to some yummy ribs. When then made a jont to the wine store for a glass a wine - this was their first time to the wine bar - they really enjoyed it!!

Saturday we did our regular spin class (25 miles on the bike) and then ran some errands. We enjoyed the comfort of our pool to do some swimming and sunbathing. We headed for the State Fair and then decided we didn't really want to go after all -- we hung around our little town, went to dinner, and enjoyed a nice, quiet evening at home.

Sunday we worked in our yard removing unwanted grasses, trimming bushes, sweeping concrete, and mowing lawns. We found some growth on some plants we thought were dead so that was a joyous moment. We splashed around in our pool before having my family over for dinner - always fun times filled with story telling, laughs, and photos (will post tomorrow).

Yes - this was a low key weekend for us; nonetheless, a fun one filled with warmth, yummy foods, and a peaceful home.

Hope you all had a relaxing time off work.
Happy trails,
V
