Happy Monday! I’m starting the week with Holly and all of you! I hope you’ll link up with us for Hello Monday!

Oh my goodness did we have a wonderful weekend! I have EIGHT GREAT things to share with you today!!

1-Friday was a day full of great!! My friend Jamie got married to her high school sweetheart!! She looked so gorgeous! She was so happy! He looked handsome! He was so happy! It was such a great time!

Jamie and I have these squished face pictures from every big event in our lives. Happy to add one more! 💜💜

2-I got to see some friends I haven’t seen in a long time and some friends I don’t usually see in April! It was fun to catch up with them and celebrate our friend Jamie!




3-I played a round of pool with my friend Kerry and some people who actually know how to play pool. If this doesn’t say “pool shark” I don’t know what does. We almost won. Kerry sunk the first five balls. I got the last two. For my final turn, only the 8 ball was left on the table. It was a long shot, but I made it and celebrated like I won a million dollars, only to see the cue ball go in another pocket. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? We lost like that! Sigh… It was a blast either way and now I have a good story to tell.


4-Luke had an early soccer game on Saturday and played a little. Here’s the backstory. The day he was released to go back to normal activity after his neck surgery, he was playing basketball in the driveway and said his knee felt like it exploded. Super…. He iced and stretched it a bit and I thought it might be from weakness after three weeks of walking only. It turns out it wasn’t. He has Osgood-Schlatter’s disease in his knee and some fractures in the growth plate. Darn it! The good news is he’s allowed to do half of his normal activity with lots of stretching, icing, and some PT. So, the fact that he could play a bit and did well was great. He didn’t play nearly as much as usual, but he was able to do something. I don’t have any pictures because it was FREEZING!
5-Jack and a buddy played golf on Saturday afternoon. They walked about fourteen holes before it got dark and they had a great time! Jack is really playing well right now and it is fun to hear him talk about it. His friend spent the night and that is always fun!
6-I met my friend Jodi for a great weighted vest walk on Sunday morning. I love my walks with Jodi! We chatted and powered through the hills of our town. We hadn’t walked in over a week so it was so good to catch up!
7-The Masters was on our tv all weekend. I ordered these cute cups from Cups on Cochran and they were a hit. Sunday’s lunch was a pimento cheese sandwich, a Diet Pepsi in my cup, and watching golf. Perfection!

8-Sunday evening was wonderful! We all watched the end of the Masters together and it was exciting! How cool to watch Rory achieve a career grand slam. My mom once told me that little boys are like bear cubs playing. Guess what – even though they’re teenagers, they are still like bear cubs! These two! 💙💙

Jack did the ice bucket challenge, too. Years ago it was for ALS and the one going around now is for USC Speak Your Mind for mental health awareness, I think. Jack got the challenge and passed it on to a few friends. Luke was all to happy to be the water pourer.

I am off this afternoon for a follow up with the eye doctor. I am meeting my mom for lunch after that and then heading to Jack’s golf match. I hope the sun is shining and the wind calms down a bit so we don’t freeze on the golf course! If you blogged, don’t forget to link up with us below. Have a great day full of sunshine and books!



The wedding celebration looks like so fun! Bummer to hear about Luke’s diagnosis, but hope it doesn’t slow him down too much. Have a good Monday!
The wedding looked beautiful and lots of fun had by all. We also had a wedding this weekend. I do love a Pimento Cheese sandwich. Glad you guys had a great weekend.
That wedding sounds like so much fun! So sorry to read about Luke’s knee; Alec had such chronic join problems all through high school and his coaches both agreed it was most likely due to his crazy growth spurts.
I love a wedding and I love Cups on Cochran! So cute! Yes, the ice bucket challenge is all over my Instagram now!
Congrats to your friend! You all look like you Jane lots of fun together:)
So sorry to hear about Luke’s knee. I hope he’s better soon! We watched a lot of the Master’s as well. My dad always watches it religiously and now thats Hayden too. I’ve watched more and more coverage through the years …maybe because I also love watching Full Swing on Netflix and feel like I know the guys a bit 🤣
How could anyone not love the ending to the Masters this year?! So touching to see his emotional reaction to the win. I’m glad your son is able to continue to do some of what he loves in spite of the diagnosis. I hope the icing and stretching help. Congratulations to your friend…weddings are always fun! Have a great day!
What a fun weekend! I love that picture of you laughing while playing pool. I hope your week gets off to a great start!
Looks like a great weekend!! I love your cups for The Masters- so cute!
What a fabulous weekend! The wedding looks amazing and your Lilly dress is perfection! I am sorry to hear about Luke- the poor kid can’t catch a break! I got to see the end of the Master’s- it was wonderful
What a beautiful wedding! My husband had the Master’s on all weekend. Between the “lullaby” music and the whisper talking, it makes me want to nap! Thank you for hosting such a lovely link up!
What a fantastic way to start the weekend with a beautiful wedding!
