weekending

friday we went to see it.

i was lukewarm on the film, but it turned out to be a good adaptation of king's novel.

lily and her friend thought pennywise was funny.

i thought the popcorn was delicious.

she slept like a baby that night.

saturday we celebrated my dad's 70th birthday.

the boys golfed in the afternoon and we all met on their patio to enjoy the lovely late summer eve.

he cooked us a surf and turf dinner.

it was delicious fun.

he liked his presents and felt special as he should.

he is one in a million.

sunday was a lazy day for most of the family.

the blues and blahs sort of hit me.

i was expecting them.

i rallied late in the day in the kitchen.

that felt good because i hated to waste the day.

weekends are so precious that i want to savor every minute.

 the birthday book turned out great.

 it was hard to narrow down the pictures.

 the many faces of bob.

  one for the next book.

 a beautiful banana bread for monday morning breakfast.

a delicious sunday sauce. roast cherry tomatoes with garlic cloves and crushed red pepper. blend with generous helping of pesto and some reserved pasta water to desired consistency. serve over favorite pasta and top with plenty of fresh grated parmesan.
