Long weekends are truly the best. This one was a mix of work and play because I had a work project that required some attention but I managed to fit in a lot of good things nonetheless.

Greg was thrilled to have the long weekend to unwind between jobs. The extra day definitely made a difference. Between college football and spurts of work I was also able to sneak in a fabulous brunch on Sunday morning at Lindsey's
charming new house, which pretty much made my day.

I had my first pumpkin latte of the Fall after holding out all the way to September 2nd. I also sipped on the best pumpkin beer there is, Shipyard Pumpkinhead, which we discovered on a weekend getaway to Maine 2 years ago and hardly ever manage to find here.

We capped the weekend off by hosting friends for Virginia Tech's season opener. Watching the Hokies fight their way to an unbelievable OT win over Georgia Tech definitely brought things to a close on majorly high note. I know all the 'Hoos out there may think I'm a traitor, but to love a Hokie (or at least mine) is to love their team and Greg's joy over the nail-biting win was contagious.
Back tomorrow with a fantastic tailgate dip that I tested on our guests last night...hope the short week gets off to a good start for everyone!
I love your positive voice and your ability to celebrate the joys in life large and small in clear, fresh ways.
