Our Week in a Glance

 I felt like this week was a little more busy.  We had a few things going on and were maybe out and about a little more than normal.  When I look back though, there weren't a lot of "picture moments"! 

On Saturday we headed to my nephew's house for a birthday party.  It was a great day with family celebrating a great one year old!  Lots of visiting, some amazing burgers on the grill and such their back deck is just so relaxing - you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere!  My nephew Kaleb is the oldest of the my mom's grand kids and Joshua and Nate are the two youngeset so it was fun to get a photo! 

On Sunday we went out to lunch "one last time" to a long time local favorite - Southside Restaurant.  It was originally a Big Boy but a few years ago the owner became independent and called it Southside.  After 30 years he decided to retire and, according to the rumors, the person who bought it does not plan to turn it into a restaurant. Darryl and I have enjoyed a lot of meals or desserts here through the years.  It will be missed. 

On Wednesday, one of the kids I babysit had to leave for a drum lesson mid-day.  When she returned, she surprised me with a specialty coffee form Sozo - a favorite coffee shop,  I enjoyed it while reading a great book! 

Finally, on Friday we had a meet-up with our Homeschool Co-Op at a local Ice Cream shop that also has a fun play area/sand lot for the kids to play in.  Well, they had fun burying one of their friends in the sand!  Everyone went home full (from ice cream), sweaty, sandy, and, I think, pretty content from a great afternoon.
