Happy first Monday of June!! Now let’s talk about the weekend.

I can’t remember Friday, LOL! Oh wait, I found the memory! I worked out, cleaned and played around with my blog ideas. And with that, I really thought about what my regrets are, the time I took off once I stopped writing to find my joys outside of writing and my family, and I really concentrated on forming a clearer picture of what my goals are now. So yep, that was Friday and the pondering continued through the weekend and beyond…so that’s a work in progress I also had fun with using AI as a tool for feedback. I love the logic of it. AI is not where I look for emotion for the heart of my story or ideas, nor where I go for writing. But it’s a fun and useful tool.

Saturday was a good day. Youngest and his wife came over. Youngest measured and estimated the cost of the deck in the back he’s going to build for us. Once we revived Wizard after his heart stopped — he agreed. Nah, just kidding. Wizard had already mentally estimated the costs, and just played the outraged dad for fun. We all chatted, then youngest just had to drive the Mustang with Wizard and that, somehow, turned into a trip to the hobby store. They were gone awhile, and that gave my daughter in law and I a chance to talk. I loved have that hour and a half with her!  Later that day, Youngest sent me a picture of the wood he’d brought. I’m not sure of the timeline, but I’m guessing soon!

Saturday evening, we drove out to CeeGee’s to celebrate Middle’s birthday. CeeGee woke up for a nap right after we got there, and guys, you’ll be so proud of me — I didn’t run in to get her! I let Wizard do it since he hasn’t seen her in a while. See, I can be a good wife sometimes! Wizard brought her out, and she was still half asleep. But then she saw me and her face lit up with a big grin. I loved it! She also had a ton of fun with Grandpa, but that moment when she saw me was one of those fleeting special moments that I tried to mentally capture and cherish.

We all went out for Italian food, where in Wizard got his second shock at the bill.  Bwhahaha!  There is only so much a retired account’s heart can take! The dinner was good, I tried wild boar in a wine reduction sauce with gluten free noodles. I liked it as something different, and am willing to try other versions of wild boar. All the other had lasagna and loved it. Daughter in Law brought a truly lovely bottle of wine too. We also shared some chocolate mousse dessert as well.

Sunday Wizard raced, I did stuff. The day was quiet and peaceful.

How was your weekend?
