How was your weekend? I’m linking up with Sarah and Holly to share about mine and my words will be brief because I am writing this much later than I normally do. You will see the difference between morning blogger Amy and evening blogger Amy. Some of you are thinking “finally she won’t be so wordy”.

Friday night we ate dinner at Mojito with our friends. When in Rome…you must order a mojito there. They are sooo good!

I got a grilled fish sandwich and left off most of the bread; it’s a lot!

It finally rained! Yay! It rained both Friday night and Saturday morning.

You guys – I am in a Emma M. Lion vortex and so happy about it. The wait list was too long at the library so I ordered it on Amazon. Then, I quickly ordered the next two volumes of the nine volume series. I believe the ninth comes out in February. They are written as journal entries and set in 1883. It’s a bit of a Bridgerton or Gilded Age vibe but the journal writer, Emma, is hilarious in her observations.

I made myself the most delicious breakfast burrito Saturday and browned the outside. I need to do that again!

Then, I took myself on a mission to get some food for the day and to get a graphic tee at Old Navy. I wanted the witches hat!

Then, I got dressed for a celebration of life and picked up my friend Victoria and we went together to our teaching friend’s husband’s service. We all taught together 26 years ago.

I was starving and stopped by our new Jersey Mike’s and that would be my late lunch and dinner it turned out!

I put some game day snacks/dinner together later for Tom but I couldn’t eat anything else.

We watched the UK game late because Tom was gone some of the afternoon, too.

And, Sunday morning I made Mix and Match Mama’s apple cobbler and it was a hit at the family event we took it to…

We drove about an hour and a half to Tom’s cousin’s house for a family get together.

Her house is gorgeous and overlooks Kentucky farmland and we had a low country boil…

Look how she prepped the pats of butter for the corn with the corn holders:

What a nice day!

And, look at this forecast…

I will take the rain for those temps!

I’m sorry for what I said when I was hot!
