Weekend Moments


I was trying to think of what my favorite weekend moment was for this past weekend, and I thought I had it, but then I wondered if it was because it was one of the later ones.

Here are the candidates for favorite weekend moment:

- went to a music show at a local small venue with some friends. I so wish I could find the artist's name because she was amazing - I think I have it at home and will put it up later. From a small remote Scottish island and sings with a small band (husband, fiddler woman, and guitarist). Sang in Gaelic, played the piccolo sometimes, the accordian once, and as an encore (the MOMENT), the bagpipes (which was so cool to see tuned and which I LOVE).

- went to Lowes to buy a faucet for my kitchen (agonizing over it), went to check out and couldn't find my gift card. Checked out, found it, had to go to customer service to deal with it. The guy was technically off the clock but helped me anyway, so I offered him a tootsie pop. He laughed, said no. I offered him a trail mix bar. He said thanks, no, and asked if I was a nurse. I then offered him some beano. And he laughed more. So we got to talking as he did everything. Turns out he was born in Bosnia, lived in Germany for 10 years, getting his associate's degree, and knew I was Polish by the sound of the last name and the way my hair is graying. Ha! It was just a nice exchange.

- drove around like mad all weekend, and the skies were so amazing - the diversity of clouds, the very isolated showers, the light.

So my original vote was for #2, but the others come close.

LOL Beano--What an offering!

I MUST check out the burnt offerings in my purse now. I somehow don't think I can out-do the Beano though! ;-)

I'm glad for the good points in the weekend.
BTW....we had FANTASTIC skies, too.

The Lowes guy sounds fun. But I can play the piccolo, so I may need to vote for that one...did you take the picture? If so, then that's my favorite!

NoRegrets said...

No picture ofthe picolo player... and damn I forget to get the name of the band! Tonight....

Churlita said...

The music sounds wonderful. All I have to offer people from my purse is a toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss and migraine meds. I wonder what that says about me?

NoRegrets said...

Churlita, good to kiss? But if he doesn't kiss well you'll plead that you have a headache.

My favorite weekend moment was when I left Ohio to start my new life in Kentucky.
