Weekend wrap up

  Happy Monday!  Phew, what a weekend.  The recap:

Friday night:  Ales for ALS fundraiser at Stone's Throw Brewery.  Great success with some awesome brew. Attending again, tonight at Dugan's Pub in downtown Little Rock.  After Stone's Throw, we ate at Dizzy's in downtown Little Rock.  Hubby and I had never been before and had been wanting to try it.  Yummo!  Hubby and I split the cheese dip and the Pasta Primavera.  It was excellent!  We were able to sit outside on their beautiful patio and it was a bit cool so these dishes were perfect for the chilly weather.  Highly recommend Dizzy's.  When we came home, Jake and my nephew Carter had a couple of girls over and I enjoyed visiting(embarrassing them).  Hubby and I are great at this.

Saturday:  Drove to Nashville, picked up Ellie, hugged and caught up with a few friends, grabbed some bbq to go from Martin's, shopped at the Amish Market, swung through the candy store, and headed home.  We left at 9 am and got home at 11 pm.  Long trip, but hubby and I have fun in the car listening to music, singing, planning our lives and just enjoying being with each other.  On the way home, Ellie caught us up on her life the last 10 days and she had a great time.

Sunday:  Slept in, cleaned up the yard and house.  Spent some time with Ellie(her bff came over as well) and then sent her off again with her dad for the week.  We were invited to attend the friends and family opening at 7:00 for a new restaurant/pub opening called Another Round.  The amazing and beautiful Barrie Torrey is the  manager.  We had a fabulous time.  The food was good, drinks were good, loved our waiter, and hubby even twirled me around on the dance floor to my all time favorite Lionel Richie song.  This is definitely going to become a regular spot for me.  Hubby and I had mini tacos for an appetizer, roasted vegetable flat bread, pastrami hamburger and bread pudding for dessert.  Yummy.  It was awesome celebrating the experience with most of my Village peeps.  I really do love them.  

That was my weekend wrap up.  Busy, huh?  We are off for one more fun filled weekend and then I think we are home for awhile.  School is ready to start soon and I need to start resting up for a busy school year.  Princess will be cheering so I see lots of games in my future, Jake will be a Senior, and youngest step son will be a Junior.  It seems my oldest step son is getting school burn out.  He is a sophomore at UALR.  Hubby told him to take a semester off.  There is no need to keep pushing yourself if you truly are burned out.  He can just pick it up in January or even next fall.  Sometimes you just need a break.

Enjoy the rest of your Monday.  Make it special.
