Well - that weekend passed in a blur! I mean... I don't suppose it passed in a blur but it went by quickly. I'm well aware of how quickly it passed! Friday was a LONG day at the office and when 5:00 finally arrived, I was out the door to meet my parents for dinner - and was glad the work day was over! Friday night was pretty chill - after dinner there was a Target run and then just watching some TV and relaxing - which was nice.
Saturday was a gorgeous day - if a little warm - but it is July, so that's to be expected. After coffee, a little breakfast and getting in some exercise, I got dressed and had lunch and then it was off to do some things! Which included shopping just a wee bit! I got a red dress from Belk that was originally $99.50 but was on sale for $36 - such a deal and it's so cute! I also got a strapless bra and let me tell you that with the dressing rooms closed (thanks 'Rona) my Mom and I were in stitches as she strapped the bra over my clothes in between the racks... what a time to be alive!
We also popped into Hallmark to look at the ornaments for this year - although only three people could look at the ornaments at a time and if you touched one, you had to sanitize your hands before moving on to touching any others. Again - what a time to be alive! After finishing the shopping, it was off to wild, wonderful West Virginia to celebrate my favorite six year old's birthday with some cupcakes and presents - because you can't really have a party!
In case you're reading the title and wondering what in the heck I'm talking about - I wore my beloved teal pants for the first time this Summer and I guess I should have pulled them out before now because I came to the realization that they are now two sizes larger than the size I am currently in (yahoo for weight loss). I still wore them but I spent half the afternoon yanking my pants up, ha-ha! I retired them once the day was done....
Evie (the three year old) has suddenly become a chatterbox and it was so fun to talk with her about pretty much anything and everything; that girl is non-stop! Mia (the birthday girl) was busy playing with her next door neighbor but had time to snap some pictures, eat a cupcake and come inside to open some gifts - I gave her two books on Amelia Earhart (her favorite) and a game that involves flinging goats - good times! Emily (the teenager) was nice enough to snap a picture with me but she was mostly interested in talking about how she wants to go back to school next month because she misses her friends....
After all the partying was done, we headed over to Shepherdstown to have dinner at the Bavarian Inn - and it was absolutely delicious! The Bavarian Inn is an award winning restaurant and not only do they have divine dishes, they also have a really glorious view overlooking the Potomac River! I had the Shepherd's Pie made with lamb, root vegetables and potatoes with a side of green beans and it was all so very tasty! I had a Champagne Cocktail with dinner (champagne, elderflower & limoncello) and split a slice of Black Forest Cake with my Mom. Every bite was excellent!
After snapping a few pictures, it was back to home sweet home in Virginia and I introduced my parents to the delight that is Somebody Feed Phil - such a funny, entertaining and mouthwatering food and travel show on Netflix! Sunday morning arrived bright and not too early and after coffee, it was off to church and to grab a bite to eat for lunch!
The weather wasn't too bad on Sunday afternoon, so I attempted to lay on the back deck and get some sun - which was fine until the clouds rolled in and it tried to rain. *sigh* I don't know how much sun I actually got but I did get some reading done and I smelled like sunscreen all afternoon, which I love!
The rest of Sunday evening went quick - a quick little dinner, a bubble bath, watching some TV and reading, getting my things organized for another work week and then - just like that the weekend was over! It's almost the middle of July - I cannot believe it!
