Happy Monday! Was your weekend freezing cold, because ours was...literally it was freezing both mornings this weekend. Winter seriously needs to go home. No one wants you to play anymore!
Anyway, this weekend was still fun, despite the coldness.

My weekend highlights included....
....Friday surprise delivery from two coworkers: coffee and a blueberry scone, and brownies!
.....a quiet Friday night at home to unwind from the work week, complete with Netflix and puppy snuggles
.....Early Saturday morning with the window guy coming out to take measurements so we can get the windows ordered and hopefully installed in the next few weeks (pending the HOA approval, which they are dragging their feet on...grrrr)
......SNOW....seriously.
......SNOW....seriously.
.....a day-long blate with Christy which included lunch at Panera and a drive BACK out to the winery I was at last weekend to get my jacket (they still had it!)
.....and a little wine tasting, because...we'd driven all that way and why not?
.....stopped at the other winery I was at last weekend because it was so close by, and I'd wanted to get a bottle there last weekend but didn't get it before we left. So we went there...did another tasting...and then I brought home a white and a red friend with me:
....partook in the food truck that was outside of the winery. Truffle fries and mac and cheese (with melted gouda, manchego, and some other delicious cheeses...topped with crispy bacon crumbles). Ummm, it was to die for delicious!

They also had these amazing t-shirts which made me laugh:
....back home where Christy and Cooper got to meet for the first time (I think it was a mutual love affair between them), before Christy headed back home.
.....a quiet night in
....woke up to 31 degrees outside. Wahhhh
......Sunday morning errands: grocery shopping, laundry, and some cleaning

.....an afternoon spent with my mom. Saturday was one month since my dad passed away. I can't believe it's already been a month. It seems unreal.
......I made my super easy and tasty egg salad for lunch, and then we hung out for a bit. Then we watched Concussion, followed by some Chipotle for dinner. It was so nice to get to spend the day with her. #lovemymom
.....wishing our littlest niece a happy 10th birthday via FaceTime. Can't believe she's so big already!
....Cooper snuggles. Because he's the best snuggler!
In amongst that were some Skype sessions with MG, photos of his weekend sightseeing, and sweet texts. So glad he'll be back this week!
And that pretty much wraps up my weekend. It was cold and not a typical April weekend (thank goodness this wasn't my wedding weekend 2 years ago or I would have been heartbroken), but it was still relaxing, and fun.
Hope your weekend was warmer than ours was here, but just as fun!

Ok so he wasn't snuggling me here, but he was just so cute :) |

Truffle fries and Mac & Cheese...I'd say that is amazing winery food!! So glad you had a great weekend despite the cold!! Yay for MG being home this week! Happy Monday! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteThose fries and that mac n cheese looks so delicious! Definitely a great pairing with some wine! So glad you were able to spend some quality time with your mom. I get to do that this coming weekend and am very excited!
ReplyDeleteOh it snowed here. A LOT. And Cleveland got about 6 inches where my family it. I had about 2 inches yesterday but it's pretty much gone now because of rain. But it still SUCKED!!! Blah. Glad you got a chance to enjoy some time with Christy--so jealous!! But that winery food looks amaaaazing, truffle fries are SO good!! And I'm also glad you got to Skype with MG--isn't it great how much technology keeps us connected?! Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteThose fries---heart eyed emoji x a million!!! So glad you got to hang out with your mom all day too. Those are the best days! Here's to hoping your week warms up!!

It was 32 here this weekend, which is unheard of in April in the South. So cold!! Glad you got your jacket and that you got to do round 2 at the wineries. I think the trip was totally worth it due to those truffle fries, yum!

It's too cold. I try to remind myself that I will be whining that it's too hot soon. I hope we don't skip right to summer weather.
ReplyDeleteHurray for getting your jacket back! We got snow here too and I seriously can't handle it anymore!

I mean if it's going to snow at least winery tours with that amazing looking food always helps! I mean is that pasta at a winery??? Such a good idea!
ReplyDeleteThose fries and mac and cheese look AMAZING! The weather was so weird this weekend, but I think we're supposed to be back to normal this week, so I'm excited for warmer days! Have a great Monday! :)

Sounds like so much fun! Especially having an excuse to go back to the winery!! That bacon shirt is hilarious!!!!
ReplyDeleteSnow? Boo!!! Sounds like you have some sweet coworkers!

That food looks amazing! I'm a sucker for mac and cheese!
ReplyDeleteThat food truck sounds incredible!
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't super cold in Boston over the weekend but it wasn't a spring weekend at all! Looking for those so badly! Happy Birthday to your sweet niece! We celebrated my cousins 9th birhday on Saturday! So fun! Xo
ReplyDeleteYou have such sweet coworkers! :) Definitely a nice treat.
ReplyDeleteTruffle fries and mac n cheese...you've got my attention :)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how much snow y'all have been getting! What's even happening?? It's even moderately cold in Texas, getting into the 50s later this week, which is practically freezing by Austin standards. Yikes.
Happy Monday, Jenn!
Screw the crackers and cheese most wineries offer... I want THAT FOOD!!! wow. that looks amazing!!! That sucks the weather has been awful, go home Spring... you're drunk. Seriously. Looks like you had an awesome weekend!
ReplyDeleteYeah, that winery food is LEGIT haha! I hope the weather gets it together too. We had a dusting of snow Saturday and that better be the last of it!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love Beaux wines! They have some of the better wines and scenery. last time i went they had a lady their that read your whole life in the cards (well not your WHOLE life but pretty much) Glad you got some QT with your mom.
ReplyDeleteLooks like such a fun weekend! I love that y'all had an impromptu round 2 of wine tasting! I need that mac-n-cheese!
ReplyDeleteYour weather is seriously smoking crack or something. Snow?! Oh em gee! I would be so incredibly over it! Looks like you had a ton of fun despite the cold, though!
ReplyDeleteI think that it's hard to beat two winery visits on a Saturday! Your weekend sounds like so much fun, and I love that you got to hang out with Christy! Hopefully it warms up for you this week! I can't even imagine snow in December!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun weekend! The weather has been so horrible. It's like 40 and sunny here and I'm doing cartwheels like I won the frickin' lottery. I'm just so happy that it's not snowing and it's out of the 30s!!! That winery food looks AMAZING. That bacon shirt is super funny too. Not sure who would actually wear it, but I like it.

Glad that you had a nice weekend - visiting the wineries two weekends in a row sounds like a win! The weather sucks here, too. I'm over it.
ReplyDeleteLove that your co-workers are still spoiling you! Boo to old man winter not knowing that his turn is long over, but yay for day long blates and going back to the winery <3

Mmmm I had some truffle fries this weekend too, they are the best! So great that the winery still had your coat! And I am glad you stayed and had got some wine and spied that hilarious shirt. Here's to better weather and your hubby returning!
ReplyDeleteOh no that weather does not sound like fun for Spring. Hope it warms up for you!! The girls day at the winery sounds fun and that mac n cheese sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great weekend - love that you got to spend some time with your mom! The food truck tastes sound amazing!
ReplyDeleteExcellent excuse to go back to that winery!! I'd leave my jacket there every week, lol!! I too love that you spent time with your mama. My sweet grandma passed away today and I am aching for my mom the most. Hope you have a great week and a warm up!!
ReplyDeleteUghhh, we got snow too and it was so depressing! Where did our spring go?! At least the weekend was filled with lots of good food and puppy snuggles though :)
ReplyDeleteI am so over the cold weather - this weeks weather report is looking promising though, with many signs of SPRING! :) aka sunshine!!! yay for wineries!!
ReplyDeleteWe had snow too. I am SO OVER IT. The forecast for the next week or so looks pretty nice though, so here's hoping winter is officially gone for good! The winery sounds so fun!
ReplyDeleteThat food truck food looks amazing, also yes to all the red and white friends! I am hating this cold weather, it has been unbearable and I am so ready for spring-like weather...hoping this weekend is better for us all! Cooper snuggles do sound like the best! How wonderful that you got to spend time with your mom and yay for MG being back!
