Weekend Wonder

How can a weekend be better spent? We took off Friday and added an extra day to our relaxation. We watched our nephew live his dream and win a state fishing tournament.  The weekend was planned around this tournament's time and location.  I had never been to a weigh-in and can now say the first one I ever experienced was a winner!  Now he moves on to nationals.  So proud of him!

In between our fish fan responsibilities, we enjoyed the beautiful lake tucked into the fall scenery.  We cooked a whole lot and ate enough for the rest of the week - Thanksgiving food at its finest and breakfasts like we never get to eat. We enjoyed each other's company, laughing until our sides hurt! We remembered the ones that weren't there to share the time with us and reminisced in the moments we spent laughing and learning from them.

After 10 years, she finally got the opportunity to ditch him.
(We are certain he never helped her with the Thanksgiving meal anyway!)

We only had a couple of mishaps - the sweet potatoes and the pilgrim.  But, not even this could spoil the wonder of our weekend.
