    It originally looked like it was going to be a quiet weekend. Everyone was away camping and I stayed home, with no car, with the dogs. The thought was awe, peaceful..
    Then Sunday night unexpectedly while walking the dogs, at dusk, I mis-stepped in a small pothole, twisted & chipped a bone in my ankle, and badly bruised the other knee as I went down …
    So today when everyone came home spent the afternoon and early evening in emerg. Now I’m sporting a new fashionable boot that looks like something out of a transformers movie! πŸ˜€

    We actually don’t celebrate Labor Day here in the Netherlands but the weekend was spent doing grocery shopping, visiting friends for their birthdays and unfortunately I spent Sunday in bed with a giant headache πŸ™
    This Monday was the first day back to school for my four kids, so I am back to my normal routine.

    My girlies and I built Sandcastles at the beach two nights in a row at sunset. It was a perfect way to end two great family days together.

    Took a long ride and visited various garden centers. Came home with lots of peaches and apples to work up. Labor day isn’t named that for nothing in my household.
