weekending

i enjoyed a quiet couple days at home happily in the company of the cats hence the only pictures.

i walked 6 miles, read 2 1/2 books, did countless loads of laundry, cleaned the whole filthy house and baked a batch of blackberry nectarine hand pies.

zero complaints here.

lily had 3 parties (2 birthday and 1 soft ball), 1 shopping spree and a sweaty afternoon of softball practice.

life was and is good.

my guys played 18 holes and tied for first in their tournament.

they came home smiling.

of course, teddy then went out with friends.

sunday he caddied in the oppressive heat, worked out at the gym and couched it the rest of the day spent.

it was just the two of us for sunday dinner.

he requested pasta aglio olio and i served it with a side of wilted spinach happy to fulfill his wish.

i felt not blue, but blah this weekend.

yet, i cannot explain the way i also felt perfectly content watching my family fill their days...sending them off and then hearing their stories when they returned.

it was enough.
