I might be being a bit optimistic about Monday being happy but it's best to walk on the sunny side of the street, right?
I had a lovely, busy weekend. We had seven women as house guests. On Friday my sister Nicole, my cousin Claudia and her daughter Stephanie drove up. Then on Saturday my sisters Kate and Trish and their daughters Maddi and Camille came up.
We used to do Ladies' Weekend regularly, when my Mom was alive and we just dropped the tradition. It was nice to pick it up again, with a few new Ladies joining us. And one cooperative and accommodating man since Rick was there. He got a rare, inside look at a time honored tradition of women gathering.
The weather cooperated spectacularly and it wasn't too hot. We sat outside on the deck until the wee hours, drinking wine and laughing.
Saturday we spent the day lunching and shopping. Shoes may have been purchased.
It's hard to get back to earth and face Monday, happy or otherwise.

Hi there! It sounds like you had a wonderful time! I think it is great that you are keeping that tradition again.
And Happy Monday to you, too! 🙂
Well, a Happy Monday to you too! Sure sounds like the female gathering over the weekend was lots of fun. I envy you all those sisters! Have a great week! Pat
shoes were purchased?? I really did miss out! send me a link to the shoesies!
Sounds like you had a fun weekend! It’s fun to get together with other women!
Ahh, didn’t we have fun? It is a bit of a blur now–due to the wine and the new puppy in my life!
