The Weekend Rehash

We had a very hot, mostly low key weekend, although is a weekend still a weekend when you're retired? When you can call every day Saturday if you so choose? For us old habits die hard, and we still try to take care of whatever needs taking care of during the week, then view the weekend as down time. 

I think I mentioned in the Hodgepodge this week that I had no plans to splurge on anything, but I'd forgotten about the facial I booked the last time I was at this spa. Which, was only a little over a month ago, but I loved it so much I booked another and that happened on Friday. I loved it every bit as much the second time around and told my hubs it's the absolute most relaxed hour of my day-week-possibly my year. I recommend. 

No photos because selfies here would completely wreck the zen.

Friday night it was still too hot to cook so we splurged (oops, another one) on dinner at one of our favorite spots in a nearby town and enjoyed the air conditioning, a yummy cocktail, and not cooking. Hubs guitar teacher's band was playing at a local brewery Friday night so after dinner we made a stop there to listen for a while. 

Saturday I had to make a quick trip to the library to pick up a book I've had on hold and also return a couple I've read. I love when the timing works out so the pick up and drop off can be done in one trip because the library is in town and we live out. I made another stop for a few groceries before heading home for an afternoon on the lake. 

It was hot. So hot. Several friends invited us to raft up with our boat in a quiet cove and have what we call a float party. Everyone brings a float, their own beverage and snacks, and you float. That's it. 

The lake is the perfect temperature and this is the ideal way to spend a steamy Saturday. 

We got back to our dock four hours later and it was still hot. Hubs let the little brown dog swim while I prepped dinner. We are all in on the College Baseball World Series this year because the VOLS have made it to the final finals, and it was game one on Saturday night. 

Which they lost.

But they did win game two on Sunday afternoon, which I missed because I was driving to my daughter's house. She needs a helping hand this week and I was available. When I walked in the door there was one excruciating inning left, but the VOLS eked out the win and it's on to game three Monday night.

Hubs and I did get the paddleboards out before I left on Sunday, and I had another go at standing, balancing, paddling, and turning. I'm just going to say a paddleboard does not turn on a dime the way a kayak does. 

Ask me how I know. My legs are like jelly when I get off the board, but I gotta think my core is improving because I have my stomach clenched the entire time I'm up. Hubs says I need to relax and I'm sure I will eventually. They say practice makes perfect, but the jury is still out! 

Have a nice week cveryone~
