Thank goodness for our presidents!

Why can't all weekends be three days?
It was glorious. Simply, splendidly, wonderful.
I haven't baked this much in quite a while, nor cleaned this much either. It's fabulous to have so many people around, so much laughter. So much sunshine in my heart.

Friday favorites:
* Enchilada Pie
* friends abundant
* marshmallow fight
* learning to make sopapillas (so delicious)
* The Shining
* Salt and Pepper candles
* Much laughter

Saturday ("L is for love, because what is life without love?"):
* bus rides telletubby style
* Watching He's Just Not That Into You with friends
* Hamburgers, turkey burgers, chicken and Harry Potter V
* Throwing garlic all over the floor
* Google Maps
* Napping on the couch
* Much more laughter

Sunday:
* Gwinn brunch
* catching up with friends
* baking funfetti heart cupcakes
* Spaghetti squash with salad and garlic french bread
* Madagascar 2 (Lion King meets Lost)
* Bread from The Essential Baking Company (yummm)
* Rachel and Amy laughs

Monday Messes:
* 6 loads of laundry later...

Blessings are abundant. I am so very thankful.
