Friday night we had some friends in town who were passing through on their way home from Las Vegas. We had lots of BBQ and lots of fun and it was great to see them. They're one of my favorite families to hang out with. Just to give you an idea of the fun times we had, here's two pics from the evening. See the smiles? And this was early!!
Saturday was a lazy day. We spent the day watching tv, picking up the house a little and just enjoying the leisure time.
We were eating lunch after church on Sunday morning and I decided that I really missed fishing and wanted to be able to in the NEAR future. So, one trip to True Value and 24 hours later and we've got two new spinners and reservations at Balmorhea State Park for a weekend getaway. I can't wait to go and the best part is that we're going to celebrate my birthday while there! Nothing better than s'mores for a birthday treat!
My last hurrah for the weekend was baking these awesome Pink Lemonade Cupcakes that I tracked down on Bake Space. Aren't they adorable? The batter tasted delicious, but I haven't tried the finished product yet. They were made for my coworker's birthday, so we're waiting for the 3:00 p.m. crash to come before we eat them. I promise I'll edit my post and let you know how they turned out. They look like they're the perfect summer treat!
This morning meant back to work and reality, but it doesn't seem so bad after having such a great weekend. Now that our reservations have been made, I've got something to break up the time between now and our New Mexico trip in September. I hope time really flies the next few weeks!
ETA: The cupcakes were delicious!! The tart cupcake was balanced well with the sweet buttercream icing. What a treat. These are going into the permanent recipe file!!
