Weekend in review

Thursday night was theater night! The Homewood Theater is owned by our friend, Kyle, and we have season tickets. It is a small black box theater and it is cozy and they serve free wine and beer (because they can't sell it). One patron provides York Peppermint Patties for each show. Our tickets are always for opening night and there is always an "opening night reception" immediately following the show. They always have a food item that has a tie to the show, which is rather clever! They had homemade oreo sandwich cookies shaped like a tombstone with RIP on them. They also had some sort of sandwich (I think!) and maybe something else. Mark grabbed a cookie on our way out. This may have been my favorite play they have ever performed. I laughed so much!!!

This is a picture of the cast and crew for this play that I snitched from their facebook page.

The theater is in a non-descript building in downtown Homewood. It is within walking distance of several restaurants and you can even get a margarita to go and walk it from the restaurant to the theater.

We met two other couples for dinner at Urban Cookhouse. We have found that it is almost impossible to go to a nicer restaurant and get seated and waited on in time to get to the 7:30 show. The six of us have been friends a long time and try to go out to eat before the shows.

Friday morning was my drive to Columbiana for a haircut and root color. There are lots of farms along the way and I swear . . .don't these look like Bison? I stopped typing and googled it and lo and behold . . here is an article about these bison and their owner.

After my hair appointment, I hopped back into my car and drove to Homewood to meet my three friends for lunch. One of the four of us is so thoughtful. She brings us a surprise quite often. Look at this tiny dish. I've been putting my rings in it!

Saturday night was Auburn basketball and we lost. We made it to the final four . . .and lost. We were heartbroken. I made tortilla burgers again. Mark loves them.

While we were watching the game, I was ironing! We are hosting our neighborhood supper club next Saturday night and I washed our bedding (pillow shams and duvet cover) and of course, they are cotton so what does that mean? It means I iron them! I had the ironing board behind the sofa so I could use the sofa to hold the duvet cover off the floor. After I ironed all of the bedding, I ironed five dresses for work this week. We were so churned up over the game that Mark couldn't even watch it and finally went upstairs so he couldn't hear me cheering and moaning.

Sunday was a horrible weather day. It rained so hard that it was hard to see. It rained pretty much all day. I worked the Welcome Desk and taught Sunday school. Mark went to worship and Sunday School. We were supposed to go to his sister's house for lunch but at 11:00 a.m. a tree fell and took down their power lines. We ate a hodgepodge/mix and match lunch of things in the house and took a rainy Sunday nap. I cooked for Tuesday night and we both rode our stationary bikes. I did some homework and some writing. Mark was bored. I had lots to do so I was good!

What did you do this weekend? Anything fun?
