I hope you all had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend. We had a really nice weekend and I just wish it would last one more day. Isn’t that always the case though. Ha.
The weekend kicked off with a lot of rain but despite the downpours and much cooler temperatures, I ran a lot of errands on Saturday. I lucked out at JoAnn’s and found some crafty things at a great discount. Not that I need more crafty supplies but like books, I can’t help myself when I’m around them.
Saturday evening my husband and I went to a fabulous concert presented by Austin Classical Guitar. The concert was at a Lutheran church and they played music from Bizet to the Beatles. When the director talked about one of the pieces he described it as a mysterious beauty and as I was listening to the music amidst the stained glass windows and candles at the altar, well, it was a bit of an otherworldly experience. I’m looking forward to more concerts later on in the year when the season starts again.
Today I hung out with my mom and we watched a lot of television but we talked about my Abuelita and stories of my mom’s youth. I always enjoy hearing about that and really should be more diligent about recording them in my journal.
On the reading front I have finished a couple of books which I’ll tell you about in another post. I hope you have a great week ahead and more book talk soon.
You went out on Saturday and I decided to stay in. Too cold and too much rain. Glad you had a nice weekend, Iliana, and got to spend time with your mother. We had lunch with family and then I braved the HEB for a few things. I was in and out as quickly as possible. Hate shopping at the grocery store on weekends. Too many people. Ha! Have a good week. Think we’ll finally be done with the ‘cold to us’ weather?
I stayed in, and I’m so glad to see the sun! The other day we had three overlapping tornado warnings, and I asked my daughter if my granddaughter was trapped at school. No, Amelia had already picked her up, and they were trapped in Michael’s for a couple of hours. She was embarrassed to tell me how much they ended up spending. Much better than taking cover at school 🙂
Kay – What a change in temperature we had right? Oh HEB is such a nightmare on the weekends. I have one right by my house but will rather go down to Randall’s to shop without the madness. And, we’re supposed to get more rain this weekend right?
Jen Mullen – Yikes! Tornado warnings are so scary. It’s like you can’t really do anything but hope they go away. At least they were trapped in a fun place! Glad you are all ok and hopefully the weather gets better!
The concert sounds very nice and glad you had a nice time with your mom as well.
I can’t go to JoAnn’s because then I want all the things.
Have a nice week ahead 🙂
