I am happy to report that I had a very productive weekend towards "This Year". I was able to have two full days (Saturday & Sunday) at home when I didn't even go out in the car for anything! Friday I made a menu up for the weekend and went out and got all the groceries we were going to need. I usually am running out at the last minute getting that other little ingredient, but not this time - whoo hooo! Friday night I served DH one of his favorites, pork chops and rice with mushroom gravy and southern cooked green beans. Saturday was Manicotti, garlic bread & a salad. Sunday was London Broil, baked potatoes and broccoli. And tonight we had turkey tetrazzini with beets. It is really nice to be home and cooking on the weekends these days - it seems like it had been forever since I was able to do that.
So, since there was no last minute errands, I was able to put a good bit of time into several projects. I spent about four hours working on our paperwork prepping for the tax man, six + hours on general housework and laundry, and six hours on inputting charts and leaflets and books into my craft room inventory. I am not done with any of it, but I am a lot further than I was at the beginning of the weekend. And, I was able to put almost five hours into Peaceable Kingdom.
I hope you all had a wonderful and productive weekend as well. I am amazed at the number of comments that I am getting - how wonderful is that?? Thank you all for visiting my little blog and for leaving such lovely comments. Until next time, have a happy, healthy, stitchy time!!

Great progress.
Great Job on pulling off a perfect weekend. Hopefully this coming weekend will be the same way for you.
Congrats on your stitching progress. I remember when I walked around PALs how much I loved this piece. Maybe it will be finished to show off this year.
Don't you just love whole weekends at home, Beth? Sounds like you got a lot accomplished... Nice progress on your WIP, too--you're almost there :)
Wonderful work on your WIP!!
Congrats on all fronts.... well, except for the fact that you've made me darned hungry now.
Sounds like it was a lovely weekend Beth! You made some great progress on Peaceable Kingdom. Well done!
WOW you made great progress over the weekend. I love when I have a weekend at home too, they are kind of rare what with driving DS to basketball.
Wonderful progress, Beth!
I love how Peaceable Kingdom is coming along.
