It’s Monday and that means it is link up with Holly and Sarah day!

How was your weekend? Mine was really good and felt like summer again!

Let’s go back to Thursday…Elizabeth and I were invited to Erica’s country club pool and this was the first time I had been. It’s huge!

They had some really good food and we split a snack basket.

and they had light Truly slushies!

I split a caprese sandwich and sweet potato fries with Elizabeth.

We had a really nice day and I wasn’t ready for it to end, but I had to go to another country club that puts “country” in country club. It was literally out in the country and it was the scene of one of my best friend’s daughter’s graduation party. The weather was gorgeous for my day at the pool and for the party on the patio.

I didn’t get a photo of the lovely graduate, but these are my two best friends from college.

Friday, Tom requested that I have lunch with him during his work day. He used to work downtown and loves the opportunity to go back down to his favorite soup and sandwich joint.

He was very happy. I was running errands when he asked, but like I have said, I am trying to say “yes”!

Then, the most wonderful thing happened…you may disagree. A perfect summer rain meant I needed me to drop everything and hang out on my covered patio. A candle, a good book, the sounds of summer rain…and Mason joined me for a bit. Jack was at work.

I like this plain La Croix, too!

I made my kids these honey mustard wraps in the afternoon.

I had a Kroger pick up that evening and go these poolside Trulys. I like them!

I made Tom a little charcuterie.

We just ate at home which is kinda normal for our Fridays.

It was very simple. I adjust mine a little bit.

Saturday morning I kept reading on the upper patio, but it was a cool morning. I finished this book this weekend and I highly recommend. I can’t tell you if I like The Good Sister or this one more. They are both great!

I found the most beautiful prosecco and it tastes good, too. Elizabeth invited Erica and I to her wedding dress appointments with the rest of her people. I offered to bring the mimosas if the bridal boutique didn’t serve them.

I took photos for Elizabeth of the rest of her people, but this is our little group. Elizabeth is wearing the bride earrings I got her! I bought the mauve version of the dress. Now I have black, white, and mauve. I think these little dresses will be workhorses!

After the first boutique, we said goodbye and then I had plans to boat with Tom. There were lots of sailboats out. We stayed out for a couple of hours and it was nice. I brought sandwiches for our lunch in the cove.

Then, I read a bit more. I started this and I am almost finished. I can’t put it down, either. I am closing in on completing my third book of summer!

Tom and I went out for pizza – his choice again. Goodness, he is really getting spoiled lately.

It looks like a lot because we brought pizza home for Jack. Mason was at work.

I like to make a little bowl of some chocolate chips and marshmallows for my something sweet after a meal. My kids really like this, too, and I have been doing this since they were really young.

Sunday morning and I was reading again – with my coffee.

Then, Tom, Ernie, and I went out on the boat from about 10:30 until 4:00. We had a really nice day.

My sandals arrived when we got home. Love them! I hope they aren’t one size too big. I have noticed that the rubber Croc/Birk sandals tend to run big. They are only online.

I stopped a lady in Costco that had these on because I loved them so much.

Tom and I enjoyed the mild weather on the patio before dinner.

We have temps in the high 90s coming so we had to enjoy this!

What was the highlight of your weekend?
