1. Did you celebrate Mother's Day? We had our younger son, DIl and grandgirls over for brunch which was fun. The pup was delighted of course. We kept it simple - sausage & red pepper frittata with fried eggs for the little girls, sourdough toast & mini croissants with jam, and fruit salad plus mimosas for the adults.
2. Our older son came Tuesday for a short visit. Again the pup was delighted as were we. We were able to have a full family dinner Thursday.
3. I finally tried on the clothes I ordered from Quince and JJill. I really liked and kept the navy and blue/white stripe European linen pants from Quince. I have several linen tops that will go well with them for warmer days.
I also kept the palm tree short sleeve tee from JJill too, but was disappointed that I couldn't even unbutton the denim crops I ordered. I would have had to cut the buttonhole open and then wouldn't have been able to return them. I will just mail them back as given the price of gas it is about the same cost as driving but less stress. I'd like a couple more short sleeve tees so I'll probably shop the local Marshalls and/or the thrift stores.
4. It's been 6 or 7 years since I did any swimming for exercise. This city has a very nice, just renovated lap pool at the rec center. I'm trying to decide if and how to approach getting enough aerobic stamina for more than one lap!
5. Gave a neighbor a tour of our landscaping as they are redoing their backyard. Hopefully it helped with plant decisions.
I want to visit the area city pools this summer - I can't swim so I don't do laps. But I like jogging from end to end, underwater. And I can take a kickboard and burn off some calories there!
ReplyDeleteGreat alternatives to laps!
DeleteGood for you to be looking into and thinking about swimming. A fraction of a lap is better than none at all. I am going to try to swim more this year. Having knee problems so thinking swimming may have to step in for running as I go forward. Love the new clothes. Can you just try a replacement for the crops with the tight buttonhole? I just shopped Quince for the first time this spring and I will be back.
ReplyDeleteI too will be back for more from Quince.

ReplyDeleteAre you drawing again?
ReplyDeleteStarting to!
DeleteYour sketch is lovely. Well done.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Love the chair sketch! Glad Mothers Day was good for you and yours. We must all be ready to take a dip this summer. I just checked with daughter to make sure it would be okay for me to use their pool while everybody's at work. :)
