Holiday Weekend!

It's still Monday here in the Great White North, and it's the first official day of my Spring Break! We spent the weekend without kids, as both the boys are in Costa Rica on two different mission trips. What a feeling it was to have two whole days without (almost) any obligations! Remember what it was like before kids? Hmmm, that's over 18 years ago for us!
After sleeping in, we went to bottle our batch of merlot at the wine store, renewed the car insurance, visited the scrapbook store for my copy of Ali Edwards' latest book (wonderful!), went to the Big Bear's favorite auto parts store to smell the tires (I humoured him), then Home Depot to gaze longingly at the power tools (I was along to manage the madness), checked out the boat launch at the gloomy looking river, then hung out at home napping and reading. On Sunday we had lunch with friends after church then loaded up on movies and treats. We had wine, cheese (Cambozola is my current fave), and olives and watched "The Jane Austen Book Club". More relaxing while the Big Bear toyed with the idea of working on his latest university paper.
It's not exactly an all-inclusive in Mexico, but I could get used to this life.
