This week was by far one of the most confusing weeks ever due to the holiday! My days are all backwards, haha. But, we had a great week nonetheless. We had a south african pokie(sp?) the other night, which is dinner cooked in a special black cast iron kettle over an open fire. H got one shipped from Texas, where they get them directly from South Africa. It was so delicious! We had a fire going in our fire pit and the kettle in our small portable fire pit we use for our camper. Dinner and s'mores over a fire made for a perfect Friday night. Saturday was spent cleaning up the left over mess from Friday night and working :( This morning, H traded his dirt bike for a new ATV. It's not quite what I was expecting him to get but he's happy so hopefully he will get his other one put back together and fixed so we can both ride together. He was like a kid in a candy store this morning when it showed up and he ran right over to get our neighbor, Joe to ride with him on his dirt bike that he just fixed because H was riding his. Which by the way, we honestly have the BEST neighbor. While they played out back, I went to Lowe's to pick up a new grill for our house. We have a little Weber that my grandmother gave us awhile back that we have used and abused and adore but I want to keep it with our camper because it is small and portable. If we had a better grilling season and less damaging weather, I would've purchased a larger Weber but it's not worth it in New England so we settled for the cheapest one they had, which was on sale this week for $139.
Well, I got it in the truck and while I was driving back home, mind you it is literally 5 mins from Lowe's, the thing tipped over twice. After I pulled over the second time, I just tipped it the other way into the truck and headed on my way when the whole bed cover came flying off! It was hanging off the side by one hinge. Just my luck. Luckily, I was practically home so I just pulled over on the side of the road so I could fix it and off load the grill. H came and helped me get it off the truck and we took the bed cover off so I could park the truck. Unfortunately right after, we had to head off to work again for the day. I can't wait to use it this week though! But tonight ended with a first time visit to Sonic. Yes, I was a Sonic virgin. My sister kept bragging about their slushes and chicken so we stopped in for dinner. Blue coconut slush = my new best friend. Oh. my. god is it delicioussss.
And I leave this with some instagram photos from the week..
There were fireworks going off nearby the house and Daisy decided to hide in the dryer while I was folding laundry. The next night, she opened the kitchen cabinet and tried to hide on the bottom shelf. It was HILARIOUS. Of course, Rascal just sits there and watches them with us and now we have her, who is deathly afraid of them. Oh, puppy life.
Just hangin' in the hammock
Fireworks
Gorgeous flowers blooming
Finally pulled out my lanterns for the back porch & got a door mat.
