Hello Friday! I love short weeks! We had a great weekend up in RI celebrating the 4th of July, even though the weather was crappy, as expected. It was great to see my sister and her family since they live in Maryland and we don’t get to see them very often. It was a very relaxing, laid-back couple of days. This weekend we will be having a family get together to have an early birthday celebration for my son. Here are five from this week:
1. Beach time – I can’t visit Rhode Island and not go to the beach. Even though it was pretty chilly for most of the weekend we did make it to the beach twice. One was just for a quick evening walk. We then went Monday morning before heading home since the weather finally cleared up. It was still chilly enough for me to wear my sweatshirt, but my son braved the ocean with his younger cousins to go boogie boarding.
2. Reading – I finished reading Too Good To Be True by Carola Lovering. This was a suspenseful read! I just started The Things We Cannot Say by Kelly Rimmer. This is a heavier, historical fiction read that’s going to take me some time to read.
3. Eating – Blueberry Peach Pie from Carpenter’s Farm.
Raspberry Creme Kit Kats. I love Kit Kats but I was not a fan of these!
Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Love when co-workers bring in treats!
4. Watching – I finally got to see In The Heights this weekend and I really liked it! For some reason, I didn’t realize that it was originally a Broadway musical.
5. Winner Winner – I found out that I won a gift card to Whole Foods for participating in Love and Lemons monthly cookbook club. I participated in June’s orzo salad (which was great for lunches) and my picture was randomly selected as the winner! If you want to participate, this month’s recipe is gazpacho.
6. Puzzle – When we were in Rhode Island the weather was cold and rainy on Saturday. My son and I did this 1000 piece puzzle in 3 hours!
7. Playing – it is family tradition that we play Mexican Train when we are together in Rhode Island. It’s fun and now all the kids are old enough to play!
ICYMI this week on the blog:
Tuesday I posted about TBoy’s Bistro in Sleepy Hollow.
Sharing with Friday Favorites! Have a great weekend!
I don’t think I have ever completed a puzzle that quickly! That is impressive. I’m bummed to hear that the raspberry kit kats weren’t that great; I love kit kats and though that raspberries and chocolate would make the perfect combo.
Hooray for a week that included a beach visit, a quickly completed awesome puzzle, family game time, blueberry peach pie, and donuts! Sounds like such a fun and delicious time!
