Happy Monday Friends!
I hope you're heading into a great week ahead ☀️ 😊
It was a fun weekend here. Last week the new deck furniture was delivered and we got to enjoy it a little. But this past weekend was colder and rainy. However, that was perfect weather for a little road trip to Matt's family lake property to open things up a bit. His folks come back from AZ next week - so wanted to get the ball rolling for them.
Also, on Cinco de Mayo Matt and I went out for Mexican food with a bestie, Mrs. C. although Mr C was out of town with their daughter for a volleyball tourney - but Mrs. C had to stay behind because of her nursing job. So we convinced her to come out with us. It was so fun and filled with laughs and yummy food!
Saturday I went shopping with my Mom for upcoming birthdays (my step Dad and Annie). We always grab lunch, too, and chat and catch up. It was so nice because she had a bad bout of covid a few weeks ago and I'm so grateful she's doing so well now.
Matt and I also got a few home projects done, including putting together a neat walk in case for Bubba's cat litter. Ruby can't fit in it - so she won't be able to mess with his litter. We keep prepping things for when both boys (Matt and Bubba 😉 ) move in here.
Last night I had some visitors in the yard...check the pics below to see

Fun trip to open up Matt's lake property - so pretty there
we went into town after opening up the lake home for Matt's folks and visited some cute little shops and had BBQ at a cute place that had a pig theme everywhere 😋 We shared a big sample platter for 2 💗

For an end to the conflict in the Ukraine and other areas of the world living in war & fear. For peace and unity in this country, especially from hate and shootings or violence. For anyone sick, suffering, in pain or fear... that God bring them comfort and peace. For His Light and Love to cast out the dark everywhere. For my step Mom whose Mom is in hospice. For safe travels for our snow bird relatives traveling back from AZ for the season. 🙏
