I can relate.

I had a busy weekend. The OM and I went to dinner with our old friends on Friday night. We had lots of fun, but, of course, we were home by 9:00 pm.

On Saturday daughter #1 and I went to a couple of estate sales. One was in an old friends’ wonderful home, but it was so packed with people that we hardly could look around. There were literally thousands of books, but we couldn’t really look. It was very frustrating.

I rescued a counted cross stitch sampler…

…and daughter #1 got a great basket full of sewing projects and patterns. We would have gone back on Sunday but it snowed all Sunday morning so we stayed in.

I went out and shoveled.

The wee babes came over on Saturday night with daughter #3. The boy was working so he missed out on veggie burgers and tots.

The wee laddie (with a mouthful of Gardetto’s) wrecks havoc. [Impossible to catch him in focus.]

Meanwhile the amaryllis continues to put on quite a show. As the wee babes say, “BIG flowers!”

And now it is Monday and it’s three degrees! Have a good week.

*America, “Don’t Cross the River”–a song that really got Lottiebelle shakin’ her bootie.
