{Saturday}

You know when you have one of those days that is just perfection in every sense of the word?  Yep, that was our Saturday!

The hubs and I arranged to have a babysitter all day, and we went golfing with our friends!  It was so much fun to get out and swing my clubs again.  It's been about a year since I have been able to play, so to say I was rusty is an understatement.   There were some not-so-good moments during the first few holes of golf, but we moved on, and had a lovely day.  It was the first day in a long time that it didn't rain!  Gosh, I feel like we've been stuck under a black rain cloud for the past 3 weeks this summer!  So although it wasn't raining, it WAS supper soggy and wet out on the course.  But that didn't matter to me!  No sir-ee!  We were happy to be outdoors, feeling the sun beat down on us, and smelling the fresh air.  I wasn't worried about the boys behaving for the babysitter...I knew Liam would have her cracking up and would be teaching her "all-things-firefighter", and I knew Georgie-boy would be happy nonetheless (he's the happiest baby I 'ever did see).  After we golfed a good 18 holes (not keeping score of course), we sat down and had appetizers and drinks at Drake's (a restaurant around the corner).  We sat at a table that was indoor/outdoor and again, felt the warmness of the day with a slight breeze.  Stuffed from some good fried appetizers and loosened up after a few adult drinks, we headed home.

Winston went to the store to pick up a few things for dinner, and I took a little cat nap on the couch with George.  It felt so good to close those eyes!  Winston did the same thing when he returned home from the store.  We felt so pathetic!

Fresh from our naps, and anxious to enjoy the beautiful weather, we stepped out onto the back patio and started up the grill.  We had a yummy, easy dinner grilled up to perfection on the charcoal grill.  Everything just comes off that grill tingling with flavor from the charcoal and wood chips burning below.

We were so happy to enjoy the day with our friends, and so happy to return to our smiling, happy boys.  I secretly committed to doing those kinds of days more often.  It is such a blessing to have friends so close, and babysitters on standby.  I love that I have a hobby with my husband that we both enjoy, and that we can play TOGETHER.  When the boys are older, I can't wait to bring them along and teach them the sport.  I'm having a *pinch me* moment thinking about the glorious day it ended up being.

Keep in the sunlight!
