Weekend visitor

We were blessed with a visit from Leo this past weekend.  He called on Friday and told me that he had a Saturday off.  It is one of his first ones in quite a while although when he got to work that afternoon they told him he had to work until 2:00 a.m. so he didn't get a lot of sleep.  He arrived about 1:00 and we just relaxed around the house for a while.  We decided to go to a late afternoon movie.  Bud wanted to see  Pirates, Band of Misfits so we all went along with his choice.  Nothing like a silly 3D movie.  It was silly and entertaining.  The other choices were The Three Stooges or the Five Year Engagement.  Bud did admit later that maybe the Five Year Engagement would have been better but we all enjoyed the movie we saw.  

Since we went to the 5:15 movie we had dinner waiting for us when we returned.  I put ribs in before we left and they were ready for us when we returned.  I also found some corn on the cob in the store so I added some potatoes and the corn to the ribs meal.  I have finally figured out that Leo really enjoys a home cooked meal when he comes to visit so I try to fix something instead of going out.  The meal was a success.  We relaxed after our late dinner and everyone went to bed happy.  I also made some dessert so that was our final treat.

Leo stayed until about 1:00 on Sunday.  He went home to do his laundry.  He is now switching to the day shift.  They have been trying this little 'experiment' of switching shifts every 2 months.  Nobody that is subject to the shift changes is happy but that often seems to be the goal of that little factory he works in, they don't ever seem to want the employees to be happy OR to consult them about what they want.

Bud went for his first Harley Group ride yesterday.   It was a little chilly here so he bundled up and went out for an afternoon ride with a group of 9 at the Harley Club.  I stayed home and did some sewing.

SO, as you can see we had a great weekend.  It is always great to have company and appreciate that Leo took the time to come and visit us.  I hope your weekend was fun too and maybe a little silly.

  1. The only thing that would make me happier than thinking of Uncle Bud at a Harley ride is you riding behind him!
