It was a busy weekend for us. Matt had 4 days off work and we decided to just concentrate on getting stuff down around the yard and getting caught up on things we are always having to put on the back burner. Matt reinforced the bridge that runs across the pond, and I got into my studio and did some deep cleaning and organizing.
It felt good to get some much-needed projects done. The normal house cleaning, laundry, and dinners never end, but sometimes you have to get out and take care of things beyond everyday stuff. We made simple meals and even bought hot dog buns (gasp!) to get me out of the kitchen and use my time for other needed areas. We were so tired every night but felt accomplished.
We also took time with the kids, relaxing around the pond, swimming, and also went to see the local fireworks, and treated them to elephant ears from the food truck.
We ended the 4 day weekend by inviting Matt's parents over for dinner and fellowship. we served ribs, steaks, broccoli salad, and watermelon, and they brought baked beans, fresh bread, and a yummy coconut cake.
It was a perfect ending to a really good weekend. We felt happy and blessed, and as always, thankful for our Freedoms.
