Top-of-the-Waves Tuesday...

...and the weekend report.

• It's always a treat having a 3-day weekend. But when it's your birthday weekend, it's so much better!
• Mom sent birthday flowers that arrived on Friday. This was a great time to receive them because they had all opened up by Sunday.
• Saturday was a normal day, filled with some clean-up and laundry. I worked on the Afternoon of the Faun handspun [Ravelry], worked on St. Charles (needlepoint), and did a couple of rows on the Spiral Striped Hat [Ravelry].
• Sunday was a perfect day.
  • The husband made me Eggs Benedict (my favorite!) for breakfast.
  • Since we planned on going out to dinner, he let me do whatever I wanted in between breakfast and dinner.
  • I finished reading a book and worked on the spinning project.
  • We drove to Oakland to meet The Daughter and went to dinner at Picán. We enjoyed several appetizers and I had their incredible fried chicken for my entrée. Of course, by the time we got to the entrée I was pretty full. The leftovers made for a yummy lunch the next day.
  • I got more flowers from The Daughter and some items from Lush.
  • Of course, the best present was seeing The Daughter!
• Monday was catch-up day.
  • I did the grocery shopping and a bit more clean-up. 
  • I went to Michael's and bought another ball of the cotton yarn I need for the weaving project.
  • I continued spinning Afternoon of the Faun and worked on St. Charles.
  • And I cooked!

It was a good weekend. :-)
