Enjoying the Sunshine

Hey,

Well, I kind of disappeared there, didn't I? Sorry about that. I didn't realize I hadn't written all weekend until I logged on this morning. I hope you had a good time with S and C on Sunday and that you were ready to face the week this morning. Actually, your Sunday morning sounded delightful - the coffee and the writing in clean pj's - great image. I was jealous!

The rest of our weekend was good - we didn't do much. Saturday JJ helped me wash all the windows in the house - inside and out - that was a chore and a half. But our weather has been just unbeatable this past week (and looks like it will continue through this one) so I didn't mind. J was working out in the yard, then more of the same on Sunday. Last night K & R came over for a drink after dinner and it was nice to visit without S&T for awhile. J was on call last week though, so shortly after they arrived, he had to go, which sucked for him but we carried on :)

I'm having KB (JB's sister) over to the house tomorrow for lunch so I've been cleaning and cooking today. I made a pasta/caprese salad that came out alright - hopefully the dressing will marinate a bit more by tomorrow. If not I'll have to find a way to doctor it up a little since it's not very zesty, as I had planned. I thought I'd serve that with some Aritisan bread and ice tea; how luncheon-lady-like of me. I was thinking I'd love to eat outside, but I have that tacky little plastic table on my too-small-for-real-patio-furniture-patio. Then I thought, for crying out loud, who am I trying to impress? And besides, the table is sitting on my patio for all the world to see; will it suddenly become extra ugly if we actually use it?? No. So that's what we're going to do is visit on the patio on my cheap-ass Walmart furniture and sip ice tea. At least my living room is beautiful, and I have to say my front yard is award winning.

I've got to run out before dinner so I'll cut myself short here - not much to report anyway. Haven't been inspired to write (obviously) but maybe it will come to me later. Wishing you a relaxing Monday evening,
Love,
A

P.S. Could you share the recipe for the lemon poppy bread? Sounds yummy!
