Home...

We are back home now after one of the most relaxing weekends we've had in a long time. This weekend was spent with friends and family and making some special memories. Not only did we have a wonderful time, but we also had the most beautiful weather for this time of year. Normally, it is in the upper 80's and 90's with a lot of humidity. The last several days though have only been in the low 80's and hardly a cloud in the sky.  It was perfect weather for canoeing, being on the 4-wheelers, and hanging out on the porch. We pulled into the driveway last night and the thermometer read 76 degrees. It reminded me that Fall is just around the corner.

Here are a few highlights from this past weekend...

Steve and I took the boys to Aunt Say Say's and Uncle Mike's so they could have some fun. Their weekend was spent helping Uncle Mike with some yard work, watching movies, miniature golf, and go-carts...

Steve and I then headed off to spend with the weekend at a friend's house with his sister, Joy...

Our day began sitting out here with a cup of coffee. We sat out here in the evening too... until the bats started flying around.

There were lots of these...

So we made...

Salsa!!! It was delicious. Since we brought so many home, I know what Steve is doing tonight!

We then spent an afternoon doing this...

Our friend gave me this chair...

At one time, this was a pew in an old church. The man that found this, cut the pew and made chairs out of it. I love the chair and I love the story behind it.

My sister-in-law brought this home...

This is Ruby... isn't she cute? 

Now, it's time to get back into our regular routines. This week I need to start back-to-school shopping. Fall really is just around the corner.
