Weekend One:
Aside from having to spend the middle of my Saturday at work, last weekend was pretty good. I got a call from Cas asking if it's alright she comes over, without a husband or daughter. I was so shocked I hardly said anything at all but a hesitant sure. We hang out quite often without husbands, but no daughter and over night, where was I? She arrived in no time and I shopped my way through my closet to find something cute for dinner. Richard stayed at Lorrie's house and helped the crew there do work on her new house. Since Bella Italia is featured in the Twilight books and now movies, it's one of the busiest places to eat in town so we decided to skip the wait there and go to Micheal's. I always enjoy any chance I get to go there. It could be because I often see the employee's in the alley, since we share it, and I actually know who they are. I think do a great job. The food can be slow to come out but in my opinion it's well worth the wait! We each had a glass of wine there and delicious food, of course great conversation is a given. Once we decided we couldn't eat another bite, it was off for the local wine bar! I had the Harbinger Bliss, listed on their Summer Rose list while Cas had the Syarh from Olympic Cellers. Both are local winers to the Port Angeles area and good. I've only been in Olympic Cellers once and it was really quick, but when tasting in Harbinger once and I think it has a great atomsphere. I would have classified us as pretty happy but not drunk. Like good girls when we were ready to come home we called Richard. He actually walked down and got the car, then us. The only downside to the eveing was I puked. Yes, that's right and after only two glasses of wine. In my defense the wine bar pours really big glasses which had I been at home probably would have actually been two glasses for me. There is a first time for everything(yep, I've never puked before)!
In between leaving the wine bar and Richard picking us up we decided to take a look at the sand sculptures. They were just completed for Acts In Action, which is an art festival held each year. It's been going on since I was younger and one of the highlights is always seeing the sand sculputers they do.The next morning Cas and I got up and went down to Itty Bitty Buzz for a coffee. Amazingly we weren't hung over at all. I was hungry though, but that shouldn't surprise anyone.
We hung out for a bit then Cas needed to be on her way. Once she left Richard and I went over to Lorrie's to help out again. I didn't stay as long as Richard as there was yard work, etc I wanted to get down around our house as well.
Weekend Two:
We decided the best way to get things done around the house is to make a list, this includes projects and items to buy. This weekend we completed some of them. Yay!
We got the corner garden completely finished with landscape fabric and bark down. I left some of the large rocks in there because I think it makes it interesting. I love how the bark really sets it off nicely with the bricks and as an added bonus it smells good when you walk by. While I was doing that, Richard worked on fixing the mail box which had come loose. Our postman should be happy come Monday when he goes to open our box and it doesn't threaten to fall on him.I fixed up our front baskets and changed out for a new basket style. These are a smaller but double hanging copper ones Cecile bought years ago for the house. They had been moved to the swing in the back awhile ago and I decided to clean them out and bring them up front. Two of the plants I got on a buy one get one free sale at my local plant nursery. I love a good plant sale!
Plus they are more mature and already drape nicely over the side of the pot.Tomorrow we're going to finally paint the hallway using the same colour as our living room. Also we have replaced the bathroom door trim so it matches the rest of the trim around the house. It's amazing how something so small can have such a difference.
Overall it's been a great productive weekend!
