2 day pass

i'm sitting here in my quiet house at the end of what has been a chill weekend.

chill in temperature and tempermant.

coach is picking t. bone up from a friend's where he has spent most of the day.

miss bit is at movie night at the pool with a friend.

sublime.

surreal.

hubby and i will finish the movie we started during dinner when the boys get home.

it's cia....all intelligence, close gun battles and closer car crashes and oddly just what i'm in the mood for tonight.

today was a day of lounging for the ladies at casa wags.

our activities included nail polishing, reading and laughing over too many episodes of some silly practical joke show.

again, oddly entertaining.

i picked up tamar adler's an everlasting meal.

the few chapters i read inspired me to make what has become our favorite pasta for tonight's dinner.

well the book and the hunk of excellent parmigiano reggiano that made it's way into our cart yesterday despite the fact that it was $12 per pound and not on our list.

tonight both coach and i were happy about that.

it's all about the cheese...all.

last night we enjoyed the gorgeous night with good friends and great food.

we ate a delish mexican themed spread in honor of our many trips to mexico together over the years, played croquet and lingered long over old photos and bottles of wine.

it's the sole reason today was so low key.*

hats off to coach who cleaned up the kitchen and surrendered his spot in bed so miss bit could rest in peace.

miss bit surrendering to slumber means we all can sleep.

*well all the fun and the fact that peanut woke me up very early this morning when he was climbing around my bedside table, knocked my alarm clock off and then fell between the table and the bed.

stellar.

not stealth.

my brother called this afternoon on his way from lake winnipesaukee.

it made me a little nostalgic that we are forgoing the lake vacation this summer in lieu of a beach trip this fall.

and i sure don't want to start looking forward to that yet since it would feel like wishing my summer away.

believe me i am in that happy place where i wish summer could last forever.

better yet...imagine if summer weekends could last forever.
