Once in a while when I reflect on the weekend I just enjoyed I realize it was just a perfect combination of my favorite things.

On Saturday morning I slept in to nearly 8:00 a.m.  That is sleeping in for me!  Then I putzed around the house and took my time enjoying my coffee while Vince was outside with the pitchers.  I did make it to the Prior Lake Farmers Market where I bought what I needed to supplement the peppers, onions, and tomatoes from the garden.  The “egg guy” still had eggs too!  Yeay! (These eggs are much better than store bought I don’t care what they claim.)  I went to the local grocer in Prior Lake and bought s’more makings and hot dogs for the gourmet camp fire meal Katie, Vince and I were planning for the evening.

I watched a little gopher football and took a nap with Bo and Cricket before Katie arrived home.

We caught up with Katie’s adventures of graduate school and her internship at the American Red Cross before we enjoyed that fancy cook out dinner. 

On Sunday morning I enjoyed hanging out again with Vince and Katie before getting ready to ride horse in the park.

Then my Mom and Kim arrived.  My Mom brought some fabric samples for me to pick fabric for pillows for the horse trailer/camper that she will make for my birthday.  I liked all the samples and it was not easy to pick!

Kim, my Mom and I went for a ride in the park.  I feel so blessed to be able to enjoy this passion for horses with my Mom and my lovely daughter.  We had a very good ride together.  Chance and I were doing very well leading when he decided he was not going any farther.  After we worked through that it was back to a very enjoyable ride.  I am proud of all of us and happy that our little 3 generation group can enjoy each other so much.

Sunday ended with Kim and Erik making us dinner from the grill!  It was delicious and good to again enjoy some family time filled with laughter and love.

So to end the weekend, I went out to pull Laura Bell and Chance off of the east pasture and they already were in the run in.  Perfect, perfect, perfect.
