Weekend update!

Oh, my gosh, the weekend was super!
Even though hubs was still feeling ill, we managed to have a terrific weekend. One of those "I don't know how they do it"-weekends where all is fun, good, enjoyable and a lot gets done too...!

I still marvel over the sunsets. I feel deep respect for their ability to make me stop and think about the moment. Whenever I see a sunset I think to myself what a splendid moment it is. And I savor it.

They're all magical. This one was a little extra everything, I think.

Saturday we had promised friends to go with them and volunteer at a benefit. We had received a link to a description how to get there. We were excited.

Jumping happily (and late) into the car, clicking the link, we realized the link didn't work. So we used the GPS function in the iPhone and drove off. Only to discover, reaching the destination, that it wasn't the one! It was called the same thin but was not it. We had reached a path, leading into the woods...

Calling our friends didn't help, by then they were already busy volunteering. Finally we reached them and got a description. We were way off, way off!!!

Thank goodness late is better than never, 'cuz honey were we late....

In the car. I had to put my make up on in there, since we got a late start.

Gorgeous new surroundings.

I'd say this is spring's finest hour. Everything is light green and just about to happen.

Exciting, and a favorite thing, to be driving about in new areas with hubs!

So, this is where it was evident we were lost...

Off into another direction.

Lost as we were, we still were in a cheerful mood. Enjoying that crazy ride!

-Are we there yet?

-Eh, no...

Finest hour indeed.

 The beauty is overwhelming.

The colors are stunning and the anticipation is everywhere.

You'll get some photo evidence of the volunteering-that-didn't happen, come Wednesday.

I can assure you that despite a freezing cold Saturday, getting lost and cold (and hungry), we had a spectacular day. We loved the day!

Sunday meant lawn mowing, among other things. 

An ill hubster mowing our tiny lawn. He's glad it is tiny...

The Boy has taken ill too. He enjoys me, movies, iPad and some candy.

Could have been worse.

It's still Sunday, writing this and I feel like the luckiest creature on the face of the planet. I feel sparkling and I feel like a calf out to taste green grass for the first time! I think I'll hold on to the feeling as long as I possibly can!

Have a fantastic Monday, y'all!

Home, sweet home!

Friday sweetness
Every darn Friday I feel it in my total system: the heart, the brain, the chest and in those jumping legs: Home, sweet home!
My commute train slowly closes in on my cosy coastal town and all of a sudden the work week is gone and my private life is wide open and there for the taking.
I see the well known houses, the ocean, the beach and the marina. I hear the gulls and I feel the butterflies inside.

If I wasn't such a controlled individual (actually, ermmm I'm not but hey?!) I'd scream and shout and sing and dance on that very Friday afternoon train - 'cuz home is a fantastic place!

And when earth gravity sucks me back into this town, it is The Boy I long hard for.

The Boy - bless his enthusiastic soul - loves starting every day with these creatures!

A whole big bunch of faces that make entering my premises so lovable <3

This Friday I felt blessed, chosen and perfection in a sweet mix within me.
Maybe it was particularly strong since it's the second week in a row I work Sunday and I knew the Friday evening and Saturday were very special indeed?
Dunno - but do know I am loving it.

Loving my coastal little town and the scent of the ocean everywhere. The half timberds, the Shire-feeling, the known faces of the cab drivers, that always wait by the train and the familiar anticipation of knowing I'LL BE HOME SOON!!!!

Home to pick these silly friends up!

And get infected with their love of life.

Seeing him with his friends make me very happy indeed.

So, yes, weekend was short. Short and swell.

I am both knowingly and unknowingly, taking big inhales when off duty, to exhale some in the upcoming week. No exception this week.

Focusing so totally on something, as I do these days, is putting other stuff away - no one can focus on everything at the same time.

I have no idea what it is I un-focus on (guessing Facebook and friends....) but spring seems to close in on me even faster when I'm not here to cheer it on?

I managed to get the hubster outside, early Saturday morning.

Whoops, go figure!

Well, I know he doesn't think so... but it is a BIG deal!!

Good job baby!

Now that the stuff is gone, we need to start getting busy with the next step.

My boy boycotts the paparazzi and hides...

Seems like the dog is in agreement.

In spite of having only the Saturday off, we managed some jogging!

These one-day-weekends do not allow for me to get much photography done. You all know what needs to be done when the weekend finally shows?! Preferably you should have time and energy to socialize with loved ones too...

Hence these are the only pics I have for you and they are barely enough for the Monday post.

I take on the challenge - I will present you with a Wednesday and Friday post also - rest assured. I always deliver.

Some pink bubbles with the husband, while cooking.

Saturday, sweet Saturday, thank heaven for you.

Yes, our Saturday was in prime shape!

Isn't it fab? Spring is on the move!
One day I felt such a tender ray of sunlight on my face, I felt I needed to experience nothing else in life - than that very ray.

I'm hoping for moments of sunlight, like that one. I am wishing some of those for you.
Have a fantastic Monday dearies!
