Hey Lindsay! Your weekend sounds really nice. I feel like I've been pretty busy. I don't even remember what we did Friday evening, so it must not have been very exciting! LOL!
Saturday we got up and ate breakfast at Cracker Barrel. Then we had our shopping trip at Academy, I mentioned that in another thread. I ran a few errands, Walmart, etc. I was looking for some kitchen curtains. I bought some new canisters - I have had the same ones since we moved here 24 years ago! Then I needed new curtains because they matched the old canisters. The canisters are paprika colored - I'll post a pic below. I found some curtains and they have the color in them but are a darker burgandy so I may take them back. Brooke says that Lowes has lots of curtains - who knew! I'll have to look there this week.
Then I came home and I was watching football and dozing in my chair when my daughter called and asked if I'd come over and stay with the girls while they went out to dinner. Tomorrow is her 33 birthday. So, that was the end of my peaceful day!
I had a good time with the (almost) 3 years old. The 13 year old was not as much fun because she was not in a good mood as she is grounded because she got a B on her report card. Now, getting a B is not really a bad thing - but she got it because she didn't turn in a couple of assignments and so her teacher mom was NOT HAPPY! My daughter brought me some bread pudding from the restaurant, so that was really good!
Today was our family birthday for Brooke and I cooked chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, gravy and butternut squash. I went over early and we made jalapeno pepper jelly. She has a bumper crop of jalapenos so she wanted to try to make jelly. She'd never done it before. We made 5 jars, it was really pretty - hope it sets up! After I left, they were going to made pickled jalapenos.
My post was too longwinded . I tried to say (but it woudln't let me) that the canisters are supposed to look antique. Pix 2 and 3 are of the curtains, but I'm not sure I like them. The last pic is one of my antique roses. With all the rain we've had the blooms are HUGE!
