Another Relaxing Weekend

Well, I got my list of chores done and then some. The weather was hot but cloudy and I spent a lot of the weekend outside trimming saplings, weeding, mowing and then watering. I could see some of the fireworks from the front deck last night. And you could hear the pharoomp (sp?)
when the big ones went off.

I got Ollie, the Toy King Charles Spaniel last evening and he chases the cats, so they are hiding when I am in the house and he is loose. Gary will be gone until Wednesday.

This morning I made some brownies and took some over to Jim, Cynthia and Erin. Jim thinks I should go into the brownie selling business cuz he gives my brownies an A+.

This afternoon Cynthia stopped over and invited me over for supper. She made a rice soup with chicken/pork/cilantro meatballs. And we had salad and bread with that. It was delicious. And Erin made a chocolate pudding/crusty dessert. Yummy!! We sat out on their deck and had some wine and conversation before supper and after. It was nice to spend a couple of hours with nice neighbors.

I went to the grocery store yesterday and got a lot of fruit. Strawberries, mangos, cantaloupe, blueberries, bananas and grapes were all on sale.
So, I'll just be very fruitty this next week. :)

Well, back to work tomorrow. I am really enjoying my weekends off because I can do some chores one day and some the next day, unlike this last fall and winter and spring when working on Saturdays.

Hope you all had a good 4th of July and enjoyed the fireworks and parades.
