WEEKENDING

For a long time it had seemed
 to me that life was about to
 begin - real life. But there was
 always some obstacle in the way. 
Something to be got through first,
 some unfinished business, time
 still to be served, a debt to be paid.
  Then life would begin. At last
 it dawned on me that these
 obstacles were my life.

Weekending, my favorite part of the week. a time to relax, live, love, just to be. if you'd like to share your weekend either with words, photographs, or both, leave a link to a weekend post in the comments. Joining up with Amanda for her
weekending posts.

Saturday morning brought an end to
my procrastination and working a half
the day on my t*xes making me question
this self-employed lifestyle we live, but
thankfully it's only once a year.
Enjoyed a quiet evening with my best
friend, laughing just like we did when
we were 16 and finding it hard to
believe that 32 years have passed
since our first date and we have
been married almost 30 years! Waking
in the middle of the night to run
all over the house shutting windows
as the storm that Amanda drove
in made its way here.
Sunday has brought blue skies and
a cooler breeze. A birthday cake
has been baked, rolls are rising,
the grill is ready, horseshoes
are set up and the house has
been cleaned. Later this afternoon
all the children will arrive home
along with friends to celebrate
the birth of a dear friend. I
am enjoying this life I have to
live and I hope the same for you!
