What a nice weekend, now back to the grind!

I had a very nice weekend.  In fact, one of the best ones I've had in  a long time.  Other than Michael having a relapse of his cold on Saturday, it was pretty near perfect.  Work on Friday was long, but good.  After work, Michael and I spent the evening out on the front porch with Squirt.  The weather was still hot for this time of year, but it didn't drive us inside to the A/C.  We just talked for several hours about life in general.  It's been awhile since we've talked like that and it was wonderful.  Dinner time got away from us, though, and we ended up having leftovers pretty late.  That was fine, but we were pretty much done in after that and both went to bed shortly thereafter.  So much for late Friday nights LOL

Saturday, I woke up feeling better.  I have been fighting off the cold that Michael has and have relatively successful at that.  Michael....not so much.  He felt awful when he got up.  And sounded pretty bad too.  I worked on a few projects around the house that were on my list which needed attention. Michael did a few things and we cleaned the fish tank, but mainly I forced him to stay on the couch to recover.  Dad's birthday was last Thursday, so I met him and June in Siler City for dinner at the Dry Dock Seafood Restaurant.  It was great to see them and we had a wonderful visit.  Of course, getting there at 4 p.m., I was definitely one of the youngest people there.  It was kind of like being at work LOL  Ah, well.  Still, the food and the company was great.  Michael did not go simply because he didn't feel well and didn't want to get Dad and June sick.  But, I got him some catfish take out, so that eased the pain somewhat. :)

Sunday, I slept in til almost 7.  That's pretty late for me these days.  I had a quiet morning with my coffee and crossword puzzles.  Went grocery shopping.  Relaxed.  I prepped a few dishes for dinner, which you'll see in later blog posts.  Then at 5, I headed next door for porch time with Lois.  We get together several times a week out on her porch to catch up.  There were a few other friends there and Michael eventually joined as when he got back from running errands, which was nice.  We had dinner and watched the latest episode of The Great British Baking Show.  Both tired, we just flopped afterwards in front of our respective tv's.  I started watching The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby on Broadway HD before reading my Erma Bombeck book and calling it a night.

All in all, a very nice weekend and it's back to work today.  Can't wait to see what the octogenarian crowd has in store for me today!
