New Neighbors + Weekend Stuff

We are delighted to report that we have new neighbors in the condo right next to ours! They are a young, married couple who will be renting here for the next year. Originally they are both from the states (her from Asheville, and he from California), but they currently (okay, aside from right this very moment) live in England (how fantastic of them!). "They" are Clary and Fred, and they have the sweetest little babe of one year named Rhett. Rhett and Lucy are already the best of friends! Lucy looooves giving him puppy kisses, and he just squeals with delight! It is the most precious thing. We had them over for dinner Saturday night when that delightful husband of mine whipped up some of his famous homemade guacamole, and took a stab at Mexican street tacos - chicken and fish (which were a total success, by the way!). It was nice having guests over, and really nice to be making new friends in this new town of ours. All in all, I would say we are very happy about the new folks next door!

So much of Saturday was spent in the way of prepping for our little dinner party, but, Sunday, oh Sunday was just the most wondrous treat! We had all day together, for starts! Wonder of wonders! We got up - okay, wait, I got up to a husband in the kitchen making breakfast (breakfast burritos made with leftover makings from the night before - yum yum!) - and after breakfast squeezed in a good workout at the Y (you know, so we wouldn't feel guilty about the rest of our day!). We then came home, watched the last episode of the first season of Downton Abbey, and then proceeded to watch all of Season 2 save the season finale. Can you say obsessed?! If you have not yet experienced the greatness that is this little PBS drama, you are surely missing out, my friend. It is riveting, I kid not. Literally, even my hubby who could care less about almost all television shows watched, for all intents and purposes, an entire season of this show with me yesterday! Unheard of!

We had the first disc of Season 2 in from Netflix - we were so hooked,
we watched the rest on the computer on Amazon Prime!

Such a great weekend with that sweet hubby! It was really just nice to have some good QT together after the craziness of the past few weeks. Not that these next couple weeks will be much less crazy, but it is always so nice to get our time together. Hope y'all all had a great weekend, as well!
