River Romp

this !

Sunday, Sunday. You were wonderful!!

I had coffee, eggs and Mas toast for breakfast topped with butter and jam.

I hit up the grocery store, did some household chores, and had grilled cheese and tomato for lunch with Thomas’s mom. She brought over the most beautiful flowers from her garden, and she made this arrangement with a crock from my porch and some hydrangeas I had just bought at the store. I am obsessed with this on my table!

After lunch, Nona took us out for an ice cream cone!

Sunday afternoon, Thomas and I took Mazen out to the river for a romp around and some fishing! We met a handful of friends there, and we had a total of five dogs, nine grown ups, and two kids.

Tackle box in hand, Mazen was excited!

T taught him the basics (and me too!). I even had a bite!

The boys went swimming, and I waded in to my knees. I am not the biggest fan of murky water — eek! Gus, however, LOVED the river. He and the other dogs wore themselves out fetching balls and sticks!

Spy them?

That evening we made tacos for dinner. A taco salad for me!

We cooked grass-fed beef with peppers and served that with tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, jalapenos, hot sauce, sour cream and a handful of Red Hot Blues. Glass of wine because I wanted to soak up every minute of the weekend!

How did you spend your weekend?

        I have no idea. I think it was heat exhaustion because the temperature was nearly at 40ºC on Sunday – with the pollution level at dangerous!

    UGH, I love all the nature activities you get to do! So jealous. The one thing I don’t like about being in a busy city is that I can’t just pop out and be in nature that easily. Those sprinkles are gorgeous!

      Cville is so great because you can be in the country in about 10 minutes!

    What did you mean you even had a bite? Like, from the mosquitoes?

    Fly fishing? My husband has tried to teach me, but it hasn’t taken! Does Thomas hunt? My Virginian husband does, and learning to cook venison was a challenge (just double to cooking time!).

      Just regular fishing this time. And he doesn’t hunt.

    We surprised my mom with a girls’ getaway to celebrate her 70th birthday. 4 girls, 1 hotel room, and lots of sun, drinks, card games, and eats. We are already planning next year’s trip 🙂
