Weekend Report 7/11/11

This is my neighbor's tree. Poor thing cracked in half and blew over this morning, just an hour after my parents headed out on their way home. Thankfully they missed the vicious storm, driving out of town just in time.

We had a great visit with my parents as they wrapped up their trip. We made my father's recipe spaghetti and had family over for Sunday supper. YUM! Sunday was also a day of rest to catch up from our out of town trip Friday/Saturday.

We drove to K-town for DS12 to participate in the postponed Firecracker run. He did great for his first 5K! I'm so proud of him. G-Ma did awesome too! Maybe next year the rest of our family will run/walk.

After the race, we strolled the farmer's market along the lakefront and picked up a most delicious garlic sourdough bread. It actually has chunks of garlic clove baked right into it! I'm going to have to try baking one of these myself.

DH shopped a unique men's wear store, Mike Bjorn's Tuxedos, and picked up several awesome ties for only .95 each. Its definitely not "blah mart".

Saturday night, I was feeling iffy, but thankfully I never really did get sick. I think it was the ginger snap cookies my mom shared from Trader Joes that helped me feel better. :) Thanks Mom! Of course now I'll have to plan a trip to Trader Joes to pick up some for myself.

We have ambitious plans to remodel the guest room this week into DS15's own room. With little sleep and no power this morning, our plans are off to a rough start. The storm blew in and changed our course. Maybe tomorrow I'll have the chance to remove the wallpaper border.

DARN! We just lost power for a moment! They must still be trying to fix things after the storm. Thankfully my laptop backed this up, but I better log off.

Saw your garden pics on FB. Poor garden! That was a bad storm. Hopefully your power stays on.

Yes, I saw your photos on FB and felt so bad for your garden. Hopefully the plants will come back with your TLC. The garlic bread sounds delicious! Ginger is so good for tummy troubles. I love ginger tea! Good luck with the remodeling!

I'm sorry about the garden, Dawn. :(
