you know, that was a good weekend

A breakdown of a good weekend:

• Saturday morning walk followed by breakfast at Amara.
  
  
  
• A Saturday afternoon of getting things done at the condo - I made a lasagna for dinner, I tidied up a bit, I worked on Christmas cards (yes, Christmas cards), I ironed some napkins.
• Cocktails
  
  
  and dinner and then the recent Celine Dion documentary together with Van.
• Sunday morning walk for the four of us (Olive included!) to Starbucks.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Sunday afternoon of getting things done at the condo - finishing work on getting Christmas cards ready for writing, more ironing.
• Sunday evening at Vibrato,
  
  
  
  
  
  Herb Alpert's jazz dinner club
  
  
  in Bel Air.  Spencer Day was performing
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  with a quartet of musicians
  
  
  and even pulling a friend, Ariana Savalas,
  
  
  up on stage for a song.  Good meal (I only photographed the carrot cake we shared, sorry),
  
  
  good martinis, great setting, terrific show.

How awesome to have a weekend where there is a good, healthy balance of fun and accomplishing things.  A rare commodity these days, I fear.  The next few weekends will be a little different - Conrad will be doing some travel, we'll have some entertaining.  Still, I am glad that we got to have the weekend that we did!
