This past weekend was one of those weekends I want to blog about for posterity. It was such a lovely weekend and the perfect mix of social, down time, and getting things done. So even though it's almost this next weekend, I'm writing about last one.
We started out the weekend with something we like to call "Fast Food Festival of Friday." This time we all agreed on the same place so Dave and Rachel picked up supper. Then Dave and I watched the Blue Jays game. It was probably one of the best games of the year! Kevin Gausman pitched eight innings and the Jays beat the Yankees! I cheered so much!!! In fact, I've been cheering so enthusiastically, I think I've pulled muscles in my chest from throwing my arms in the air so vehemently when the Jays score. Ooops :)
On Saturday morning I got stuff done, including sitting and drinking coffee-hot chocolate with Dave. Then I walked over to my favourite greenhouse to get some fall decorations. I mentioned in my "What's Up Wednesday" post that there are some big changes coming for our family this fall. Well, one of those changes affects our back yard so I couldn't get my regular allotment of fall mums. I pivoted and got a display for our front stoop instead.
When I got home, I watched the Jays game, caught up on blog reading, and drank a Coke. Then Dave and I had a dance meeting at the studio for Rachel's dance performance commitments.
We dropped Rachel off at home, picked up pizza at a new to us spot, and headed to Tim and Janice's for pizza supper and an evening of visiting. It was super yummy pizza and a great evening of catching up with our besties!
On Sunday morning, we went to church. It was Gathering Sunday and our theme for this fall is water. This was a beautiful song we sang. Then there was a church potluck, and it was so great to catch up with friends we hadn't seen in awhile.
Then it was home to watch baseball, fold laundry, drink a Coke, and work on some food prep. If only Saturday and Sunday's Jays' games were as successful as Friday's game was!
I planted my window boxes with some fall flowers/kale as well. I'm going to wring every ounce of flower joy I can out of this fall, even if it's looking a little different than normal :)
See, our lovely fall front step!
I also baked bread and made soup for Sunday supper.
Did I mention it was pretty much the perfect weekend? Here's hoping this one holds more of the same.
Well it very much looks and sounds like a perfect weekend with all of your faves- people- food- dance and of course your Jays. How did you like the new to you pizza place? Pizza is my fave :)
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh about your vehement cheering for the Jays! Sounds like a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet blend of cozy, connection, and celebration. Love how you’re savoring the season even with the changes. That front step is fall lovely and has me eager to decorate.
