We had a really nice holiday weekend!
Bugsy & Roger were there when we got home from work on Fri and we sat on the screened porch and chatted until dinner time. The 4 of us met up with Steven & Thad at Fish On! and had a great meal.
Sat morning we walked over to the Farmers Market to poke around, and came home with some fresh blueberries. Spouse & Roger went to the grocery store while Bugsy and I walked over to the arts show and sale. I ran into several friends and neighbors which was nice, since I'm rarely off work on Saturdays to attend these kinds of things. While there I bought this cute stained glass star:
I hung it in the kitchen window where we have other rainbow-colored stained glass pieces:
That evening Spouse & Roger made chicken and beef fajitas with rice and beans for dinner as well as a homemade strawberry/blueberry pie.
Since the weather was so nice we ate on the screened porch. Steven & Thad came over too and we had a fun evening eating, talking, listening to music, and of course laughing.
Sun morning we had biscotti, scones, English muffins and coffee for breakfast and spent more time on the porch. Marvin was feeling extra social and sat on Roger's lap.
That evening we had dinner at Jimmy's Grille, a new restaurant with delicious meals and desserts. Afterward there was more time on the porch.
Mon morning Bugsy & Roger packed up their car and headed home, since they had some plans for the afternoon. The weather forecast showed a significant chance of showers all day so my plans to drive Big Ella in the Doo Dah parade became less and less certain. Although we didn't have a drop of rain all day, by 5:00 parade start time it looked as if the skies were going to open up. Steven & Thad and Spouse & I walked over to the parade route in false optimism, and as soon as we got our chairs set up it began to rain. Fortunately it wasn't a heavy rain so we sat there and watched the abbreviated parade.
We had a great visit with our friends and look forward to their next visit.
