// Life wins this week. Work is crazy busy, our home schedule is crazy busy, and by the time I'm not busy I'm so tired from being busy I don't want to do anything else including blog or read. Next year I'll remember spring is the busy season at school and in extracurricular activities. That being said I've read no pages of any book, I have short spurts of time when I could squeeze a page or two in but that doesn't lend itself to really getting into a story.
// Last Saturday K and I used our Brookgreen Gardens Groupon, we took a picnic and spent the day exploring a small portion of the 9,100-acre former plantation. We both had a great time and to my surprise, K even loved looking at all the sculptures the garden has on display. If you're going to be in The Grand Strand area we highly recommend a day trip to Brookgreen Gardens, they have a little something for everyone.
// After our garden visit K went to stay the night with my mom and I got to enjoy some mommy time. I had a friend over for a movie on Saturday night and on Sunday after Tyson left for work I turned off all things electronic and just enjoyed being for a while. I could have read but decided I need some time to just be still before the chaos of the week returned.
// This weekend includes no rest for the weary as K and I will be walking in the local Relay for Life Saturday to honor our grandfather who died of cancer before K was born. Grandpa always enjoyed walking several miles daily after he retired so I can't think of a better way to honor his memory than to walk for him while raising money to help fight the horrible disease that took his life and touches so many.
Happy Weekending!
i also do that - just lie down and *be* with my thoughts. it's so relaxing and calming.
ReplyDeleteI always forget how busy springtime is too, there's always so much to do! Have a great time at Relay!!
ReplyDeleteThe gardens and picnic sound awesome. Even better when you snag a Groupon for something fun like that! Enjoy your awesome walk for a cause!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have some fun stuff going on. Enjoy the Relay for Life. It's on my list of things I need to do at some point.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time at Relay! I truly loved my times at them.
ReplyDeleteThe gardens sound so awesome! And who doesn't love a picnic in nice weather?! Have fun ar Relay in remembrance of your grandfather!
ReplyDeleteI love that you were able to have a little "me" time and that your mom got time with K. Some of my fondest memories of my grandparents is the time I had them all to myself :)
ReplyDeleteThe garden looks beautiful. Hope the weather was nice as you walked in grandpa's memory.
ReplyDeleteI love that photo. The gardens sound fun Sometimes I need time with no distractions, too. I call it time in my own head and usually get it while I walk the dog with no headphones on - just me and my thoughts and a nosy pup. It's good for me.
