This weekend we did something that we haven’t done in quite a while. We took some time out for simple fun. We ate food that was bad for us and we didn’t care. We spent some money we shouldn’t have and we didn’t care. We look little H to watch some pigs race at the Stampede Grounds and we browsed the stalls at the farmer’s market.
We left the to-do list at home.
I didn’t think about work. I didn’t think about blogging or emails or being creative. We just enjoyed each other and the simple summertime activities and it was wonderful.
It reminded me how important it is to check out every once in a while. Get some fresh air. Just be.
You should try it.

Sounds like a blast! Love the idea of pig races
Amazing that before our lives were “improved” by technology, such simple pleasures were the norm instead of the exception
Reminds me of this quote:

That sounds lovely! I pretty much took the weekend off too, now trying to think of something to blog about….
Taking that time is important for refueling and creativity, mood and spirit as well as contributing to bonding. It’s a great way to spend a weekend.
I had a very similar weekend. Which is why I took forever to finally post today! Glad you enjoyed such a wonderful weekend – now back to the grindstone!
sometimes that is what life calls for a break away from it all and simple happy times.
