My definition of a good WEEKEND...

goes something like this... SATURDAY:

• Wake up to Lucia snuggling me (unfortunately she managed to kick Dennis out of bed sometime in the middle of the night)
• Coffee - copious amounts - this morning
• Sitting on the screened in porch surfing on my laptop in my PJ's while Dennis reads and Lucia plays
• Dream about what "2nd house" we'll buy when I win Mega Millions (and then unfortunately realizing I didn't win - but no one else did either!)
• Go to Bass Pro Shops to get life jackets for the canoe Dad is giving us next weekend
• Go to a really nice playground and sit in the shade while watching Lucia play make-believe - and there is a fantastic breeze blowing - just perfect weather
• Do the last two driving around in the Jeep with the top down
• Come home, have a great lunch including salt and cracked-pepper kettle chips (YUM!) and realize I am at a good place with restriction
• Take the girl scout troop to the SPCA to donate $150 from their cookie sales and play with the animals
• Get Home, pour a pre-dinner glass of wine and prep to go out to a dear friend's for an adults-only dinner...

SUNDAY:

• Went to a little country church with some friends and really enjoyed the people and coffee hour
• Took Lucia and a friend to check out their summer camp (they are going to a 2 night / 3 day overnight camp) - and got to go canoeing, see the cabins, dining hall, eat s'mores
• Had dinner with her friend's family
• Came home to be able to spend the evening with everyone on the cul-de-sac, watching the kids run thru the sprinklers and just chat, laugh and hang out...

PHENOMENAL weekend! Picture perfect...It really doesn't get much better! Life is really, really good... :-)
