It literally felt like summer this weekend! Today is the birthday of my twin niece and nephew Mia and Miles! They are 19! Let’s link up with Sarah and Holly to share the weekend.
Friday dinner started out with a pineapple margarita! Highly recommend! I had sugar on the rim rather than salt, too. I got to a Mexican restaurant patio early to get a table for six and I’m glad I did. Everyone had the same idea.
We had a nice dinner with our couple friends. I had fish tacos.
Saturday morning, Tom, Eddie Otis, and I walked the nature preserve and it was gorgeous.
It runs along the river…
I got bagel sandwiches for us and met Tom and Eddie Otis at the marina where EO was swimming and fetching sticks.
Cute new bagel shop…
Starting to look like spring at the river, too…
I stopped at a market that I would describe as a year-round farmer’s market that is near the marina.
I spent most of the day reading in my happy place…
It got hot in the sun and I moved to the shade with my shadow…
We opted to stay home for Saturday night dinner and just eat what we had in the fridge.
Sunday morning Eddie Otis didn’t want to come back inside so we had our coffee out here while Tom slept in. I can’t really sleep past 7:00, but Tom can sleep until 9:00 sometimes on the weekends.
Chilling…
I placed a Kroger pick up order Saturday night to be ready early Sunday but I also had to go in for a couple more last minute items.
It was nice and empty! Then I put all the groceries away and cleaned and then headed to this food hall for an event that I got tickets to.
It was a premiere of a PBS/KET (Kentucky Educational Television) show called The Farmer and the Foodie.
The food hall has a Spanish food booth!
It was a cool thing to experience!
The highlight was definitely the weather! I am enjoying an easy chick lit book after some deeper reads this month:
What about you?

Coffee and Cocktails at the Casa 
Sounds like a perfect “empty nester” weekend!!! Love the pictures at the preserve – what a nice place to have near you. Yesterday one of the kids said, “perfect day for the lake”. . .well, except for the FREEZING water – ha! Hope this is a preview of more to come :). Have a great week!

We had a cold and rainy weekend that I pretty much spent in the house reading– a lot. I finished 2 books and started 2 more.

We had that same great weather! Everyone in the ‘burbs was out- grilling, playing in yards, etc. It was so nice! Your weekend looks like a great mix of chilling at home and doing fun things. The food hall event looks fun and different. Have a great Monday!
