WEEKENDING

Just living is not enough...
one must have sunshine,
 freedom, and a
 little flower. 

~Hans Christian Andersen

It's been a beautiful weekend
filled with a quiet Saturday
playing on Ravelry and
just browsing all the
many patterns and still
not coming up with the
'one' pattern I know is
waiting for me. Cooking
while watching Chopped,
glad that I am not
having to worry about
a clock while I work.
Easter Sunday has been
all of us together [except
one who graduates from
boot camp this Thursday],
making this momma's heart
swell with pride and love.
No matter what this world
throws at me, I am truly
blessed.
I hope your weekend has
been filled with sunshine
and love too.
Joining up with the sweet
Amanda.

  7. Yea! You had (almost) everyone back in your nest for the holiday weekend. Swelling heart is right. I really wish I could reach out and touch that flower. Great photograph.

  8. Happy Easter to you. Have spent the day cleaning up after a big Easter lunch and egg hunt in the garden. It was madness and the kids were all on a high with all the chocolate. We wouldn't have it any other way!

  11. Sounds like a great weekend. I'm glad I'm not the only one that does that with Ravelry! I can spend hours there it seems like and still not have a pattern when I'm done. Sending many thoughts to your boot camp grad this week. How exciting!

  15. Everyone (almost) home! Lovely!!! And congrats to the boot camp grad...are you going to be able to be there for the graduation???
    Our Easter was wonderful until 'Jay-Bob' decided to have a meltdown at dinner; I'm still not sure what prompted it, although it may have had something to do with ham (although that is one of his favorite things). So much for that Norman Rockwell moment!!! We'll try again today! (My usual criteria is....no blood drawn, it's been a good day!) So it's been a good day!

  17. Chopped is one of Steve and my guilty pleasures too. I claim that I had the idea for that show first, though. :) Every year that I moved in college there was that last week when I was trying to clean out the 'fridge and didn't buy any groceries. By the last day the game was to try to make a meal out of whatever I had left - usually something along the lines of a Trisket and ranch dressing.

  25. I have no idea how they cook under such pressure. And time pressure pretty much confirms a bad meal when I'm making it! Congrats to your grad!
