We had a great weekend -- finally good weather and some firsts in the house. First overnight guests (finagling the bathrooms worked okay). First entertaining (I need a lot more serving dishes lol). First outdoor fireplace fire with s'mores (yum). First walk to a coffee shop with an outside table rest (no one else at the tables).
The 100 year old Flaming Azaleas are in bloom.
Dogs hung out -- tired after a few long walks.
We ended up eating at the house. We had margaritas (mine was non-alcoholic), guacamole, salsa, s'mores and cake -- too full to get tacos. The patio is perfect and relaxing to hang out. It's funny how an old house can be good for modern entertaining. We're planning a family Memorial Day weekend in Asheville.
The only pisser of the weekend was a chat with a neighbor and his wife. We walked by their yard with our dogs and their dog came out to see us. Dogs got along, lots of sniffing and we chatted with them from across their yard. When we tried to walk on, their dog followed us so the neighbor came out and grabbed the dog back. We had a quick "close-ish" moment as he grabbed the dog. Later I got a text from another neighbor. THEY ARE COVID POSITIVE (and symptomatic) and knew it when we saw them. Trump supporters, anti-vax peeps, COVID isn't an issue peeps. Ugh. None of us think we had a close enough or long enough contact and we're all vaccinated. None of us touched the dog (because we were controlling our dogs). It's a reminder to STILL be vigilant. This isn't over.
I'm hanging back in GA until late next week. Dogs and I need a little time here. Hubby leaves Friday for Asheville and then to VA for the week. Kids are making a brunch at their place for Mother's Day -- DIL's mom is going to be in town too. That's going to be fun.
Let's get at this week. Lots of catch up to do and back to my routines (I need my routines in a big way). It'll feel good this week. Stay well. Later gators.
