I had a great weekend also ... and facing a week where the kids have just gone back to school, so I can no longer avoid work and other issues. At least the weekend has fortified me!Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11536212906241844509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-55159615147925226622009-07-27T21:21:03.075-07:002009-07-27T21:21:03.075-07:0016: We were luckily we were all eating the garlic ...16: We were luckily we were all eating the garlic -- any abstainers would have been very sorry the next day!materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-69742872932437830262009-07-27T14:56:36.340-07:002009-07-27T14:56:36.340-07:00And still the orange keeps coming!

He found one! It looks shocking in more ways than one.indigo16https://www.blogger.com/profile/16982477144454205765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-73091506436147032052009-07-27T13:49:10.169-07:002009-07-27T13:49:10.169-07:00Pseu: It was great, thanks -- the wild-caught salm...Pseu: It was great, thanks -- the wild-caught salmon, grilled, sounds delish as well -- a perfect summer meal!<br />Anon: Kathy?

Hubby, of course, still shows up at work, but I think they are on a 'summer schedule' ie there's not much to do. Sometimes I feel a bit bad about letting them sleep in (gives me more reading time on the computer!), but really in a few more weeks they'll be back at school, so it's ok. <br /><br />Megan's photo of the lighting is brilliant!
