Weekends



Weekends are for memory making, 
relaxing and enjoying quiet moments of our days.  
If you would like, please share your weekend moments 
in the comment section with a link to your blog.



My weekend started with dinner at a friend's house.  Grilled chicken, corn, pineapple slices served with a spinach pasta salad.  I brought some brownies.  Definitely a very good start to the weekend.

Yesterday was a morning of garage sales where I bought absolutely nothing and everyone else did (even the daughter who isn't here scored some Anne McCaffery books that I spied in a tucked away box).  I had a quick lunch at home then spent the whole afternoon sitting on the patio knitting and listening to podcasts.  The weather was perfect, not too hot, not too cold--just right.

Today is church and laundry, menu planning and grocery list making, more knitting and podcast listening, and hopefully some reading.

How was your weekend?

  1. Your weekends always sound so lovely, Karen. Ours are so hectic, but I suppose that's just how it is when you have young children. xo

  2. I made brownies on Friday for a picnic, but they were all gone too quickly! Need to make some more I guess :)

  7. I think I need to head north so I can sit outside and knit along side you. Unless you are at the beach it's just too hot here to be called enjoyable.
    I'll post my weekending post tonight or in the morning. :)

  17. I did so much garage sale-ing for so many years that these days I just keep taking trips to the thrift store to drop off bags of junk. I do miss it though, Next time I do it maybe I can be a little more stringent with my purchases.
    Sorry I didn't join this week, I posted on Saturday and didn't even look to see if yours was up yet.

  18. I need to HAVE a garage sale and stay away from them! My house has way too much stuff. I do love the feeling of a good find though. Sounds like a great weekend was had - and your brownies must have been delicious!

  25. Knitting on the patio sounds lovely, I wonder why I never knit in the garden? I might have to add that to my week :)
    Our weekend was a mixture of the good and the bad: http://musingsandbemusings.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/back-in-time.html
