Bring on the LONG weekend!!

Here it is! The first long weekend enjoyed in the midst of warmer weather. The activities that usually come to mind are barbeques, picnics in the park, camping, and getting together with family and friends. For our family it is all about the moving and renovations. We have been fully blessed with the opportunity to move into a new home in a neighbourhood that we were hoping to live in. Our condo will be rented within the week and the repairs and deficiencies in the neighbouring condo will be given the due attention required. Balance, love, respect, and attention have been given and in that peace has been gained.

In addition to the move to a new home, my sister-in-law, her son, and my father-in-law made the drive across country and are now here as well. It will be a great experience for all of us as we all have our strengths for each other to learn from.

For use the long weekend is finished off with a cold, snowy forecast, and we will be "chillin" out inside. I am going to keep a list of tasks handy so that I can stay productive and focused and work on getting back into a routine. Colder weather inspires a desire for warm, comfort foods and this is not the time of year to be turning to comfort foods with all the potential of fresh produce and new seasonal tasties around. The BBQ is out and fueled up ready for the next grilled entree. Veggies have been the bulk of our meals and soups will be the warmth we turn to.

Off to share in the fun!
