Meal Plan Monday - Week 21

WOW, another week, gone! They really seem to just fly by lately! We are full blown into summer around here. This past Friday it reached 90. We had some rain and clouds this weekend, but today has been gorgeous! 75 sunny and not a cloud in the sky.

We had an awesome weekend. I was able to get the rest of my flowers planted in pots, the yard is really coming along this year.  A wine event which we hosted Saturday night, which was a ton of fun. Great people, great food and great wines. It started raining while we were all outside on the deck, but luckily we have this great awning and it covers half of the deck so we were all able to stay outside, such a bonus.

Sunday we volunteered in the morning at Grillfest in downtown Minneapolis, and then were able to enjoy the event the rest of the day. They had great food, wonderful drinks and fun grilling demonstrations. I learned a lot about different types of grills and smokers as well.

We have a busy but fun week ahead, and then of course a three day weekend to look forward to. 

Monday
