Three day weekend with absolutely no travel plans equals time to relax, unwind, play with puppies and eat good food. My free time turned into purging closets and boxes in our garage for donation to Shepherd's Gate http://shepherdsgate.org/. My oldest daughter came over and moved more of her furniture she had in our garage over to her house (yes, this made me sad, even though she's been gone for a while). It was great to see her and I really just wanted to hang out with her but off she went to organize her own house. However, her Fiance stayed for a long time chatting sports with my husband which made him very happy. Saturday night was date night and we went to one of my favorite restaurants called The Peasant and the Pear http://www.thepeasantandthepear.com/. Seriously AMAZING food! The Chef/Owner Rodney Worth is not only talented, he is quite charming and treats customers as if they were his guests. For the opinionated foodie that I am, I must say this restaurant does not disappoint, this was my 3rd visit in one week! I want to eat my way through the entire menu and I only have until October 1st to do it at which time Rodney tells me they are changing their menu to incorporate the splendor of fresh Fall produce and vegetables into their new menu. I love that they promote local farmers and even give them a shout out on their menu. We sat outside on the patio, drank a Pear Martini that should win some kind of mixology award and listened to a very talented musician named Chris Estes who sang and played the guitar. That boy is talented!!!
Sunday was Church followed with a nice evening with friends and a sleepover at our house. Monday, Labor Day a celebration of America's workforce, made me think of all the jobs I've had since I started working at age 14 and how each one of those experiences taught me something valuable. I'm grateful that today I get to work in a job that I love and with people that help make a difference.
