I'm a day late since I had difficulties logging into my blog yesterday.  For those that plan their entire Sunday around reading this blog, 1) sorry and 2) get a life.  We had a nice short work week last week although Jo did have to travel to NY for one day.  But fortunately it was an in-and-out trip so we didn't miss any quality snuggling time at night.  We will actually have to work all five days this week which could be a struggle.

For the weekend, I got the emission tested on our Jeep on Friday and then it was home to grass mowing.  We rented a movie for the weekend - Taking of Pelham 123 - which was good to watch.  The bonus material on what they had to do to film in the NY subway was also very interesting, especially how many tracks are underneath NY.  Saturday it was up for a longish run - only 8-9 miles, the gym, the grocery store, and the bank.  All the usual weekend chores.  Then home to catch the WI football game during lunch - they won, YEAH.  After the Wisconsin win we headed out to Clyde's Cider mill to pick up our first gallon of fresh apple cider for the year along with a dozen cider donuts.  Then home to some office chores before making a Mexican extravaganza for dinner along with frozen strawberry margaritas.  The margaritas were delicious although made with a wee bit too much tequila.  We had rented another movie - It's Complicated - which wasn't as good, so maybe it was good that we were too tipsy to care. 

It was up on Sunday morning for a run and yoga.  After which we enjoyed our donuts (not the whole dozen, although I did eat 6 over the course of Sunday - not good for the waist line, but good for the soul) and cider.  Then to work some of that off, we headed out to the garden to harvest our second to last crop for the year - potatoes (the last one is the sweet potatoes).  Had a pretty good yield although we are still not producing the giant Idaho potato variety.  Might be our soil, could be us - we'll go with the soil.  Then we both spent the afternoon with our noses buried in books until dinner and bedtime.  Jo is reading through the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy and I'm just having fun with my usual spy/mystery/WWII novels. 

That's it for the week.
