A Wonderful Day






Today was just a wonderfully peaceful day. It started with meeting my sweet Mother for breakfast at Panera Bread. My mom ordered us toasted cinnamon bagels with hazelnut cream cheese. I, of course had a coke and she had her coffee. It was delicious. We sat outside and ate and then we headed to our favorite quilt store! We had the best time. I bought some fat quarters for my star quilt that I am doing with Amanda Jean's quiltalong! I also bought a stencil. My mom bought me some more Dick & Jane fabric! I love it. The best part of course, was spending time with my Mom.

I came home to find my husband, sweating and working so hard outside. We have been very busy remodeling a house for the past few weeks and we are so tired. I asked him to come in out of the heat and take the day off. We actually have rested this afternoon which is very unusual for us. My DD & SIL, Maranda & Cory called and invited us to supper tonight so we jumped in our corvette, took the top down and enjoyed riding in the convertible. After that, we came home and watered our 2 gardens and our flowers and came in. I almost feel guilty about taking off today..........NOT! It was a wonderful day!

Sometimes you need to just take the time off to "charge the batteries" in your body...sounds like you both had a great time.
