My sunny weekend.

Good Monday morning to you, dear friends.

I can only hope that your weekend was as happy as mine.

Wanna' see?

Even $4 worth of flowers can really brighten up our kitchen table. And even though I'm unemployed, I still feel the need to splurge on fresh flowers now and then.

And speaking of flowers, Doug and I supported our local nursery department and got some plants for the backyard {more on that at a later date}.

We found some succulents on sale and I made a little dish garden - just love how it turned out!

Whiskers was close at hand {as usual} and not the best crocheting partner. He's calm...seems completely nonchalant...and all of a sudden GRABS the yarn. ~sigh~

I suppose we can say that I know how to crochet now {sorry, Val...}. I'll show the completed project later this week. :o)

We had Doug's dad over for breakfast Sunday morning and this is what's left of the biscuits and gravy I made. I meant to take a picture during the process but had too many things going on at once {sausage, biscuits, gravy, scrambled eggs, strawberries}.

My dear FIL showed up for breakfast with a couple of pairs of pants that needed mending, and another little bit of my MIL's crafting supplies. PJ has been gone for over three years now, and her crafting stash just keeps on giving. Going through her {well organized} ribbon collection, I was struck by how much I miss her. ♥

{Local SIL's and nieces, don't buy any ribbon! If you need some, come see me first!}

Yesterday we did some work in our backyard {and by "we" I mean mostly Doug...}. This is a photo of Doug enjoying a cold beer at the end of a busy day of work. Seriously? I've never known anyone who works as hard as Doug - he's amazing. I can't wait to show you the before and after photos of our backyard space! A few more weeks...

And lastly, I had so much fun receiving email RSVP's for the virtual potluck I'm hosting next month. I had to laugh at my simple self each time I received an email from a blog friend saying they were coming to the party. I had to pinch myself and remind me that it's a pretend party... ~sigh~ Everyone is invited, and you can see my invitation here.

This week? Well, I met with a recruiter last week who suggested that I re-write my resumé so I'll be working on that. I have an art project bouncing around that I need to get out of my head and out through my fingers so I can get some sleep at night. And I'm starting back to physical therapy for my shoulder {oh joy}. Spring has sprung in Arizona and all I want is to be outside...

How was your weekend?

What's happening in your world this week?
