Weekending

March 20, 2017 By Carole

Happy Monday morning, my friends! Yes, the weekend flew by (as always) but it was an extra special one with extra special time with friends.

There was the usual Friday night thing. Cheese and crackers for dinner and a great playlist for St. Patrick’s Day. You know the drill.

On Saturday afternoon we hit Shovel Town Brewery. Yes, we went last weekend for Jo-Ann’s birthday but when the opportunity presented itself to go again (as in, we had no other plans) we couldn’t resist. The Vanilla Cream Ale was great, I must say.

We ended the evening back at home, first with a corned beef and cabbage dinner and then with Mexican Train. Mason was anxious for his turn but without opposable thumbs he was definitely challenged.

Sunday morning we enjoyed the best part of St. Patrick’s Day – corned beef hash for breakfast. So good.

And then Sunday afternoon we headed into Boston to see Sean and Michael perform with the BGMC. What a fantastic show to attend! Dinner afterwards was terrific, with lots of discussion about the show and great pizza and fabulous company.

It all added up to a terrific weekend. I hope yours was equally as good!

    I love how you support your friends and have so much fun doing it.

    Every feline knows, “Opposable thumbs rule!” Frankly, I think it is the only thing that keeps them from completely subjugating us.

    I have to say that the picture of Mason cracks me up – he looks so intent!

    I love the look on Mason’s face as he looks at the dominoes. We are going to have to check out that Shovel Town Brewery.

    I want Mason on my team! and sure wish you and Dale lived closer to us – would be fun to get up off the sofa (and away from the golf and basketball!) for a change!!

    Too bad Mason couldn’t have a turn. Don’t you often wonder what goes on in their heads. Good food and company always makes for a great weekend.

Today’s @aliedwards Pieces of Us prompt is Face Today’s @aliedwards Pieces of Us prompt is Face Forward. If there’s anything I’ve learned in my 55 years, it’s that facing forward is the best way to live. All the things in life, good or bad, can be resolved this way, our problems only multiple if we try to skirt around them. True satisfaction comes from looking life right in the eye, doing your best, and finding the joy. #aepiecesofus #thisismyface #faceforward

The washing and moisturizing, the attempts to hold the approach of aging at bay. They’ve held and comforted so many loved ones, they’ve changed diapers and checked out books at the library, they’ve typed countless words, they’ve cooked and cleaned and done everything I’ve expected and I appreciate every bump and age spot and ... they are mine. #aepiecesofus #piecesofme #myhandstellmystory
