4th of July Weekend Re-Cap

It has been a lovely weekend. It started out on Saturday morning with my morning date, for those new to my blog this is our version of a date night, with my dear husband - we like to go to Starbucks and sit in those comfy chairs and chat. We decided to go to one that has a really nice patio area and sit outside - it was beautiful. There was a woman there with a parrot - they were both hysterical. She was actually going into the Jamba Juice next door, but she left the parrot on one of the outside tables - he was whistling away. Then she came out and started playing games with him, like making him run along the cement capstone on a short wall. I am sure the poor bird was thinking, it would be so much easier if I could just fly from point A to point B - these boots were not made for walking lady!

Then my man and I headed to Trader Joe's - our dates get more and more romantic. Actually we love going there because everything is nummers. Husband wanted something new to snack on - he likes the oddest things and always wants to try something new. So, I found him Wasabi Tempura Seaweed Snacks - they were like chips made from tempura, one side was seaweed, and it was all lightly flavored with wasabi - he LOVED them - do I know my guy or what?!

I did some more blog hopping - man is that a crazy thing or what - I have visited about 150 now.

We went to my in-laws for dinner (bbq hot dogs and hamburgers and chips - I brought a pasta salad). Then we headed over to their beach club on the lake (this is a large pool with a man-made sandy beach). The fireworks were going to be exploded over the lake. There was a dj and the music was fun, even if a bit loud. We went early to set our chairs up in a good spot and chat for the next couple of hours. I brought snacks, so it was all good. The fireworks display was really good and the finale awesome - the dj played patriotic music as the fireworks exploded overhead. We headed back to to the in-laws and had birthday cake for father-in-law. It was fun, but made for a later night.

Sunday means church and today being the first Sunday of the month also meant potluck. I brought orange chicken that I picked-up at Trader Joe's the day before (frozen - you cook it - a family favorite). Once we got home I knew I was done. I was so tired and husband was too, so we took a nice nap - ahhhhhh - so lovely.

Anyways, we are just hanging out at home the rest of the day - which is a good thing. I hope you had a glorious weekend!
