The Weekend Wrap-up

 

 

Another weekend has come and gone … where oh where did the weekend go?  Even though I’m retired, I look forward to the weekends, and they still seem to fly by so quickly.  <sigh>

 

My weekend started with some T-time.    I picked them up early Friday morning, and since they hadn’t had breakfast, we stopped at the store to pick up donuts for breakfast.  We played, had lunch at McDonald’s, made a trip to the library and went to swim practice.  By the time I got back home, it was already after 7:00 … a long day, but a fabulous one.

 

I had plans for more T-time on Saturday, but DD wasn’t feeling very well that morning, so she cancelled her plans and stayed home with her little ones.  So I spent a good part of the afternoon with needle and thread … my second favorite activity.    I finished quilting the blocks and got to work on the borders.  It’s a Wonderful Life (one of my favorite movies, certainly my favorite Christmas movie) was on TV, so DH and I had another movie night. 

 

I did get to see my Ts at church Sunday morning.  After lunch, I had my weekly “conference call” with my dad and my sisters.  I was able to get in another couple of hours with needle and thread … although my time wasn’t as productive as it was Saturday afternoon, as I had mismarked several hatching rows and had to rip out a good bit of stitching.    I re-marked and re-stitched … and now I’m checking the angles on my marking lines before I stitch.  DH and I had another movie night … The Fugitive was on TV, and since it’s one of DH’s favorite movies, we watched it (again … I’ll bet we’ve seen it at least 10 times).

 

I’ve got a fairly busy day today.  I’m meeting a group of women from church again for our monthly breakfast … afterwards I’ve got a little shopping to do.  I hope to get my Christmas gifts wrapped tomorrow afternoon, and we have small group tomorrow evening.
