Shopping, Singing and Father's Day...

This weekend came and went with the blink of an eye! On Saturday, Shane and I had a Mama & Me day--we got up and headed over to Williamsburg. We did some shopping at JCPenney and Target, then had lunch at Cracker Barrel. After that, we headed over to TJ Maxx and finished our trip with some grocery shopping at Martins. Shane was so worn out that he fell asleep in the car on the way home. It was good spending that one on one time with him. I wish we could do that more often. We headed home in time to go to Cattails, where they were having an old fashioned front porch jamboree as a fireworks fundraiser. Joyful Noise, my parents band, was the entertainment. It was great, we took our chairs and sat on the front lawn at Cattails and they were on the front porch, just singing and playing their guitars for everyone. The crowd wasn't that big, but Daddy said that they gave generously to the fireworks committee, so hopefully, there will be a fabulous showing on July 3rd...yes, i said 3rd and not 4th since that's when Mathews will be having their fireworks show.

Sunday was Father's Day. We got up and Shane gave Rob our gift, which was tickets to the Flying Squirrels game in Richmond on Friday night. He seems excited about it. I'm looking forward to it and so is Shane. We spent the day finishing up the second Harry Potter movie and preparing for our dinner guests. We had my parents and Rob's parents and my grandmother over. I prepared grilled chicken Provencal, white cheddar tarragon potatoes and green beans. Everyone seemed to enjoy the meal. Shane especially liked the Wicky Wacky cake I made for dessert---I was surprised since it has no icing. My dad loved his personalized guitar picks we gave him, complete with a picture of he and Shane on them. And, Rob's dad liked his Charlie Brown music box that Shane had picked out just for him. It was a good night and I think Rob had a pretty good Father's Day. We are so grateful for him and love him so so so much!

The grilled chicken Provencal (also EXCELLENT with tuna) I sauteed tomatoes, minced garlic, rosemary, parsley, sea salt, pepper and olive oil along with some red wine.
