Happy Birthdays & Daisies on Steroids ~

A very happy birthday to my son Bill (aka Billy Vegas). He's celebrating his birthday today. Niece Elise will be celebrating her birthday on Wednesday. I love you both :-)
Welcome everyone! I hope your weekend was filled with what makes you happiest! My weekend wasn't as productive as I had hoped, but everything I did not get done will be waiting for me tomorrow...and the day after that!
This afternoon I went and floated in BFF Belinda's pool for an hour. Now that is my idea of heaven (and I didn't have to worry about anyone seeing me in a bathing suit...lol!). She has so many gardens to take care of and I have never seen a perennial this tall! These daisies must be 8 or 9 feet tall and the bee balm in front about 5 feet tall! Unbelievable!
Friday evening at our local metropark on Lake Erie, a swing band performed. It was a beautiful evening for an outdoor concert and the band was outstanding! The setting sun.

Saturday evening was spent on DSO's balcony listening to a "Jimmy Buffet" band playing across the street. His music is so much fun. I sat sewing the binding on this little mat that I finished hooking a couple of months ago. (I think I've mentioned at least once or twice how I hate the actual "finishing" process!) It was for Belinda's birthday ~ that was at the end of May! Shame on me, but better late than never, right?
These weekends just go by too fast! I am just thankful that I have a job to go to on Monday morning. Hopefully this week I will have enough sense to get to bed earlier than I did last week, though I am not off to a very good start! By Friday, I was about ready to drop.
Pug hugs :)
Lauren

happy birthday to all. I hate to finish a rug that is why you will very rarely see me whip a rug binding. Sounds like your weekend was wonderful. My meter on if it was a good weekend or day for that matter I think if I was on my death bed would I be glad of the way I spent my day. Because in the end that is all that matters. No one will ever say Holy cow she didn't get her chores done before she passed away.
