That's a pretty good Saturday if you ask me!

We started our weekend off with the new hotness of the farmer’s market.  Our farmer’s market routine has become this:  get coffee from java j’s, wander down to the market, get a couple $1 still warm fritters (D seems to prefer apple while I love the peach) and then wander the market searching for food to cook over the weekend.  Usually we end up with a couple of steaks, some corn, potatoes, some red velvet cake, sometimes some salsa and if it’s a good morning we’ll top it off with some chocolate milk on the walk back home.  Once we made it home D suggested he and Peaches have some quality time while I go on a little run.  So off I went.

When I returned D was getting anxious for lunch so we went downstairs to Machiavelli’s for some Italian nacho’s and beer.  When we finished we took a nice stroll down State Street.  We wandered in and out of a few stores but by far had the most fun in Inari.  For those of you that don’t know – it’s our little downtown wine, cheese, beer, spice, gift store.  It is awesome.  I *think* we walked out with four bottles of wine, one six-pack of beer and a new foil cutter.  And that’s a pretty good stroll if you ask me!

We even went back to Inari later that evening for their weekly wine tasting.  They had several Italian wines that we tried.  Unfortunately, we’d already made our purchases for the day and headed home to our steaks and previously purchased wine!

Weekend recap: friends, food and pawn stars!

Friday night:  I headed down to GNO at Blowfish Emporium.  We brought a few appetizers and our own adult beverages, all picked random things to paint and laughed the evening away.

Afterwards Brandie and I met up with Doug and Rocky for some dinner at Stateline!  What a fabulous night!

Saturday:  Peaches has been barking about wanting the wind in her hair for sometime now - so Doug and I thought we'd let her live out her dream for a while.  We let her test drive a 4 door jeep wrangler.  We had to see if it would get us to all the farmer's markets you know!  Then we met up with Ed for some ribs and beer at the Wing Doctor and headed home for an afternoon nap!  The evening was filled with Pawn Stars, nieces and laughter.



Sunday:  Another lazy day!!  Sunday was filled with more Pawn Stars (I had to catch up to Doug's spot), some great steaks and potatoes we'd picked up at the farmer's market and a nice Rioja!  We topped it off with a nice family walk downtown!

Now we are ready for a fun filled week!
