When my man's away...

Every once in a while, my wonderful husband has to go out of town for work.  He was recently gone for almost a week, so I took advantage of his travels to hit the road too.

The little M's and I headed south to visit my parents and my grandma who lives with them.

15 minutes after arriving the boys were in the pool and I was set up as relaxed life guard.

We had a great time during our 3-day get-away.  We visited and relaxed: inside and out.




We watched the olympics and cheered on the USA. The boys played their grandparents in ladder golf. I got time to knit and even played computer word games with my mom until midnight.

Before we arrived, mom had asked if we could have pizza for supper one night.  Sure, no problem.  Homemade?  Sure, with the guys that's entertainment! We all gathered in the kitchen to watch the boys toss the dough in the air to make their own pies.  No cheese for the big M, sauce only.  No sauce for the little M, cheese with four pieces of pepperoni.




During the afternoon, while the pizza dough was being prepped, Mom needed some sewing done.  She wanted a cushion made for an old pew that sits on the back porch.  Mission accomplished.
The cushion is reversible.  The bottom is gold for fall, while the top is green for spring and summer.

Thanks Mom and Dad for a wonderful and relaxing retreat.
