Nah, nah, nah…we aren’t in the Carribean.
But we are relaxing.
My husband and I have been working 12 hour days, burning the candle at both ends, for quite some time (awesome how our businesses are growing). And we are busy preparing for the big farm move in our spare time. So, this week I made an announcement, “We are going to call this weekend our mid-summer vacation.”
As I write this weekend post we have been mowing (much-needed and relaxing), sleeping like babies, laughing, and paying attention to no set schedule.
Laughter definitely erupted when we headed to a Mexican dinner. We took off on our bikes, his and mine. We rode the back-roads for while, enjoying the cooling wind on the 90 degree day. We then turned back towards town. I was definitely enjoying myself. In fact I rode past the restaurant. Wheee! I was a good distance up the road when I realized my husband’s motorcycle was no longer behind me. Oops.
What did I do? I pulled off the road. I laughed. I laughed so hard I prayed that nobody would ask if was okay. Then I laughed some more.
I dried my eyes and headed back. My husband was waiting in the restaurant parking lot. He said, “I told myself, she’ll be back.” Hilarious.
We definetly need to relax more often!
Enjoy your weekend!
That’s funny!
And so cute that he stopped and waited, knowing you would eventually realize what had happened. Instead of running you down and pointing back the other way. LOL
I hope you and the hubby have a great “mid-summer vacation”!!!
Too funny! It’s always nice to relax every once in awhile. Have a good and safe holiday Mary.

Hi Mary,
It’s great that you and your husband remember what is truly important–relationships/family. Having those playful and relaxing and carefree times rejuvenate us so we can be that much more fresh and in tune with our work. Have a great mid-summer vacation Mary!

Hi Michael, I appreciate your thoughtful kindness.
My husband and I work together like a well-oiled machine. We have forged through a lot of ventures this past decade. Patience and love have been key.
This past weekend was much-needed and treasured. Friends, family and relaxation are definitely needed by us humans!
Enjoy your day!
Those are called “Stay-cations” and are sometimes the best trips ever!! Glad you made it back to the restaurant.
I love your description, Dana, “Stay-cations!”
All we are able to do (sickness and finances) is take stay cations and they are wonderful – declare it a day off routine and go get lost! Like your side trip – it would have been hard to stop laughing !
It was (and is) still funny! Like children, we started having fun, and (I) just kept on going!
I may need to bring in help someday, for the animals, possibly interns, to free us up from time to time.
Good chatting with you Linda Sue!
We bring in someone from time to time when we go on vacations, we have started going on trips a lot lately!
