This was one of those nothing-special but oh-so-good kind of weekends. No big happenings at the Schnell household, but I enjoyed the chance to hang out with friends yesterday and have a ‘me’-day today. Shane had a late night/early morning at the office last night, so I decided to spend the morning being out-and-about, soaking in the beautiful day and letting him rest. After church, I stopped by the Fremont Sunday market to do some wandering. It had been awhile since I’d been to Fremont, and their Sunday street market is one of my favorites in Seattle. I was tempted by all the home-baked and hand-stitched goodies, but I practiced restraint and walked out of there with nothing but a beautiful bouquet of fresh sunflowers. Then I practiced indulgence when I came home and baked a batch of chocolate-dipped almond-cherry biscotti. The rest of the day was pretty mundane, but productive – went for a run, cooked dinner, did laundry, savored a piece of the afore-mentioned biscotti… Settling into the couch now for a little tea-time, and am going to keep my spirits high by pretending that tomorrow is NOT Monday. How fleeting a good weekend can be…
