Cruisin' into the Holiday Weekend

Hello all!
Well we're headed toward a three day weekend - yay! I don't know about you, but I'm ready for a little R & R. I'm not sure why but weekends seem to disappear in a blink lately. Maybe we're trying to fit too much stuff in but Monday mornings sure seem to slide into view quickly!

I still haven't finished with all the flower beds but I guess there's still time. Our temps have been swinging between extremes lately too - 60s one day and 90s the next. It would seem we're skipping Spring again this year. What the heck is up with that?!

Last Sunday Rich and I drove down to Redwing for the day and that was fun. We had a beautiful sunny day to poke around. We'd hoped to find some antique treasure to bring home with us (our anniversary gift to each other) but all the really quirky, hole-in-the-wall antique places that we used to like are gone now unfortunately. Actually, there's a really beautiful antique store right downtown Redwing that's full of furniture. I think I had just commented to Rich how the recession didn't seem to be affecting them when he spotted a coat hook. I'm sure you're thinking the same thing I was - What in heaven's name would we need a coat hook for? So I asked the question. Rich's reply was, "I didn't say we needed it - it's just that it's the only thing here we can afford!" Sadly, he was right so we came home empty handed. Oh well... them's the breaks I guess!

Well, I've been tagged to call Dan and work my motherly "charm" on him to convince him to go along this weekend to see Rich's parents. We'll see how charming I am I guess. ha!

Anyway, have a great weekend everyone! Enjoy the extra day and hopefully a little warm and sunny weather along with it.
