Weekending

July 16, 2012 By Carole

Taking my cue from Amanda, here’s my weekending post:

This weekend was full of friends, both old and new
Saturday was the post wedding party for my dear college friend, Chrissie and her husband Tony.
A clambake at her dad’s sportsman’s club was the perfect setting for a relaxing day full of fun.
Drinking beer, eating delicious seafood chowder, cherry stones, steamers, and more, listening to great music from Dale’s band and catching up with my other best college friend, Doreen and her family.
Making new friends and planning future vacations.
Sunday night was a mini high school reunion with two of my closest friends from those days.
Catching up over pasta and wine, sharing stories about our kids and reminiscing about how young we used to be.
Ending the night with hugs and kisses and promises to get together again at Christmas time.
I am so fortunate to have all of these women in my life – they know me, they get me, and they love me.

How was your weekend?

    Seconding Margene! Hot and sunny here – we spent some time on a fiber crawl just to get some air-conditioning in the car! Also a lovely afternoon at the annual Greek Festival in nearby Ipswich – dancing, shishkabobs and baclava. I haven’t seen my husband so relaxed and happy in a long time – he felt as if he was back on his kibbutz, I think.

    My weekend included my annual ice cream party. This year was 18 flavors. It’s almost like I’m my own Baskin Robbins.

    That sounds like a great weekend. Mine was mostly clearing out two rooms so the plasterer could come to repair the ceilings in two rooms (leaky roofs stink).
