Set off for the cabin this weekend with Snicklefritz in tow. She actually gave up a sleepover with friends to hang with us old people for the weekend. We still have pull that we are fun, helps we have a golf cart she can drive.
It's what you do on a cold Saturday morning with #1 granddaughter comes for the weekend, sit by the fire and read with a cup of hot chocolate and marshmallows and a sidekick, Clayton by her side. Snicklefritz is mastering chapter books and I could not be prouder of her. My favorite memories are going to my great-grandparents in Jay or camping with the family at the lake and inhaling books. Mother always said "teach a child to read and they can accomplish anything in the world they want to." Mother was a huge advocate for reading and my siblings and I carry on the tradition of being voracious readers. The next generation is continuing.
I read this book for book club and started yet another one so I got a lot accomplished this weekend too in the reading category!
There weren't any of the ladies on Friday night except Snicklefritz but I still fed the "guys." I picked up Papa Murphy's pizza, an easy feed, and fed four of the hubby's friends, they were much appreciative. Saturday, without planning on it I fixed 3-way (chili, spaghetti and beans) and had enough that I again fed the man-crew with an added couple, girl-company! It works out pretty good, especially if I fix food for The Hubby's friends and he cleans up. I woke up Saturday to have the kitchen sparkling!
That dog, oh that dog. Clayton woke up before 5 both Saturday and Sunday, yet this morning when the alarm went off, when I HAD to get up, the little bugger would not wake up. No, he was still sleeping until just a few minutes ago, 5:30 and The Hubby HAD to wake him up to feed him. ARGHHHH, why can't he sleep in on the weekend when we want to. Oh well.
