Weekend Recap

Here's the weekend recap.

No sunrise hike. I withdrew because of the weather and I was a bit under-the-weather on Friday evening. I'm disappointed but it was the right decision -- I needed to sleep. 

It was down to the wire for the bookclub lunch. 2 people came. We talked for 3 hours and it was really nice. It was the connection I was hoping to have with some interesting ladies. I'm glad I planned this and I wish I didn't worry up until they arrived that no one would come. I wasn't worried as in embarrassed no one showed, but as in annoyed no one showed. It didn't happen and all that energy wasted grumbling in my head. I'm going to remember this lesson and hopefully learn something for future "worries."

I have a luncheon blueprint I usually follow and it works nicely. Salad bar style salad (lots of fixings) and dessert plated as the centerpiece of the table. I brew a pitcher of iced tea and that's lunch. It's organized and simple and relaxing. One of the ladies took a salad to go because she liked it so much. Something about a someone making a salad for you that makes it taste so much better.

Flowers from the garden.

4 places just in case
a "maybe" showed up

Fresh picked greens

Hubby and Duke were at the kids' house watching football so I had the evening to myself. I finished the 1st season of Truth Be Told (Apple TV) -- kept me guessing until the last scene. The 2nd season doesn't get good reviews though, but looks like the 3rd is better. I'm not sure I'll watch either right now -- books are lining up.

It's Monday and that brings another full week in a good way. I'm trying to rally some energy. I think my monthly zapped things pretty good and I had a couple of days of a slight cold at the end of the week. Both are finished but my body seems to be in recovery mode -- wanting sleep and rest.

Oh, I forgot to chat about the Amazon return center. It WAS an experience, not one I'm particularly interested in doing again. It was chaotic and felt a little like the worst of American waste and greed. I know that's a big statement, but it was strange. I'm glad I went because I was curious. I bought a box of plain gift bags -- I think 50+ in the box. It'll last years.

Hope you have a good week ahead. Later gators.
