A Quick Trip

We had an all too brief but imminently enjoyable visit with family this weekend. Friday night we rounded up friends to handle the critters, horses included, and headed for the Land of No Sales Tax. We got to my sister's house at 10 pm and spent the night. Some of us were up until 1 am. Those of us who failed to reset their alarm clocks were up again at 6:30 am. Ouch. Sorry, Sis. But you made terrific use of your time by going to Panera and getting a splendid array of carbohydrates. Mmmm.

Saturday's plan was to go out and do something special for our parents. Well, that changed. We went out and did something special for ourselves. We shopped. We delighted in delectables and desirables at Williams-Sonoma. We ogled organizational possibilities and clutter rearrangement opportunities at some specialty store. We even reflected on mirrors, perused prints, and offered critiques on marketing approaches at Platypus. Not a bad morning. It even melded seamlessly with a good afternoon. We hit the Farmer's Market so we could feed our starving progeny, stuffing ourselves in the process.

Despite the brevity of the visit, it was an oasis of relaxation and pleasure that we all enjoyed. Sis, you rock! And we even made it home in time for church. Thanks!
