Weekends were made for fun. Sometimes with my job weekends are also for work. This is made tolerable because I get to work with an amazing co-worker, Ruth, who enjoys sharing a laugh… and going out for frozen yogurt.

For our tough job today, we took a group of girls to the movie Rio. We both really want to go to Brazil now. Really, it was an adorable movie. Who doesn’t like a movie with singing birds?

We spent part of our afternoon hiking up Chattaqua with minimal huffing and puffing involved. Made sure to have enough time to visit Boulder Chill for frozen yogurt. Then went off to the school for a football camp for the kiddos with some of the players from the CSU football team. All in all a great afternoon.

What made it even better? Ruth and Lindsay came over for some good summertime springtime grilled foods. Grilled chicken and potato wedges with corn on the cob, salad and bread. It was definitely a good night for my taste buds!

That is a delightfully massive pile of food! Chicken: 3pts, Bread: 2pts, Potato: 2pts, Corn: 2pts, : Salad with chickpeas and cheese: 2pts. A whole giant dinner for 11pts! That’s what I’m talking about.

There is nothing better than sharing good food with great friends! We added in a round of Dicecapades just to top off the evening. Perfection.

If I thought that the conference was what I needed for work, going home is what I needed for my soul. It was lovely to see my family and putter about just enjoying their company. We played countless pitch matches, umpteen rounds of backgammon, a few grudge matches of trivial pursuit and even a cutthroat canasta game.

Sometimes just being around your own family is just what you need.

And the food was sublime. Mum made all of my favorites. Some of the highlights included:

Black bean Taco Pizzas:

Turkey Dinner with Sweet Potatoes, Brussels Sprouts, Peal Onions and Cranberry Relish:

Scrambled Eggs with delicious Heidelberg Bread:

Asparagus and Mushrooms on (Heidelberg) Toast

Oatmeal with Blueberries and Figs:

Beef and Barley Soup:

Roast Pork with Potatoes, Vegetables and Cabbage; Apple Slice and Orange Ice cream for dessert:

 

The food was scrumptious. The company delightful… It was definitely not easy leaving these lovelies on Saturday!

Cannot wait until they visit Boulder!!!!
