weekending

it's already hump day and i'm just finally here to recap last weekend. it was a good one, but then aren't they all? it doesn't take much to make me happy especially on saturdays and sundays. i was happy.

happy to sleep in a little, and catch up on laundry, and clean out the frig so i could stock it again, and use the dregs to make lily's new favorite eat the rainbow plate of food, and replenish her ranch stash (homemade is so so so supreme), and take a walk, and spend time with family. happy to breathe and think and dream and connect. happy to listen to the birds and the bees and the dogs and kids in the neighborhood.

we went for dinner saturday at one of mark's favorite places in his memory. he was gone a whole year saturday and all i could think of was that he should have been with us. i miss his smiling eyes, his warm heart and his wry wit. it was good to be with family and vietnamese food is awesome. mike misses him terribly. i do too, but i know it's different.

ted spent the weekend in madison, but was home for sunday dinner. home for sunday dinner at 9 o'clock, but to be fair both kids were twilight golfing and his timing was spot on. mike fired up the grill. the steak that would have lasted the two of us all week, was just about gone after one meal. i'm not complaining because almost nothing makes me happier than feeding my kiddos and family dinner. i'm just glad he's not too keen on wine. also that i can afford tenderloin at all. and wine.
