Weekend Away

Hope everyone had a lovely Mother's Day. My mom is so easy to shop for - she always wants more flowers (you'd think that would get old year after year) so she picks out her own gifts. I used to think that was sad - aren't the best presents surprises? - but the older I get, the more I learn the value of choosing your own presents.



Saturday was tractor delivery day( I'm sure I'll have more to say about that later)...



And Mother's Day dinner with the extended fam. Cue the strawberry margaritas...and this tequila lime chicken and this rice (minus the cheese and with diced tomatoes instead of whole) from Ree Drummond. Delicious, and gluten free.



Yesterday was pizza dinner and card-swapping. Here's where that flower thing is a bummer: nothing to unwrap. The pizza was gluten free pepperoni from Johnny's, and it's my one great food joy now that I don't get to eat wheat. It's fantastic.



I've been away from technology for three days straight and while the break is always nice, I woke up this morning itching to write. My brain thrives on routine. This week, in addition to working on Remains like a madwoman, I want to really beef up bonus Walker material here. More visuals; some online shopping; character aesthetics. So look for fun stuff this week and on into the future.

  1. There was no unwrapping, but there was planting ahead of time, of my gift which was way better.
    To come home and see it already in the ground was so special! Thanks sweetie! It was a fantastic Mother's Day!
