What a great weekend!!

This weekend was such a good one for me, that I had to share!
Yesterday (Saturday) morning, my dad and I went to our weekly Chapter breakfast. He hadn't gone with me for a long time, and we had a great time. The plan was to go to the Peoria airshow (Blue Angels were there), but the weather looked like low ceilings and rain. We scrubbed that idea, but would keep an eye on it to see if it cleared up.
After breakfast, I went over to my friend Jim's house to work on the spars on his Sonex for a couple of hours. I really enjoy working on the Sonex, and it's nice to know I'll have a project to work on after my RV is done...he's on the S-L-O-W build program, and I'll be able to help him finish it when I'm done with mine.
At noon, I came home for lunch with Brit before she left to go dog training. When I pulled in the driveway, my dad called to see if we thought the weather would be decent enough to go to the show. It didn't look all that promising that we would see a high show from the Blues, so we decided to take the afternoon and get our first round of 18 holes in. Turned out to be a sweet afternoon for golf! We suck at it, but had a blast!
The evening was spent with Brit watching a movie...Wild Hogs. That was hysterical!
Today (Sunday) is our anniversary. 6 years we've been hitched! I started out the morning with breakfast at the airport resaurant with some friends while Brit had a training session. After breakfast, I put in almost four hours on my project, then mowed the yard for the first time. The first time is always neat because I miss that fresh cut grass smell. Later in the season, I start to hate mowing, but that's not what I'm talking about here.
After I mowed, Brit got home, and we've been relaxing at home all afternoon. We're now getting ready to go out for dinner at a nice restaurant that we haven't been to yet.
The weather has been just about perfect with temps at 70 degrees.
Beautiful weather, and a great anniversary weekend!!
