Friday night we lounged around and totally caught up on The Voice. I made roast beef sliders from the leftovers of a roast I had cooked earlier in the week. They were delicious!!
Do you remember those pumpkin rolls from Trader Joe's that were in my Five on Friday post a couple weeks ago? Well, if you haven't tried them RUN to your nearest Trader Joe's and buy all they have left. Saturday morning I fixed a can for me and Eric. So good!
We were hoping to do some hiking on Saturday, but the weather forecast looked like this:
Expect occasional rain to continue for the next several hours.
| TIME | TEMP | FEELS | PRECIP | HUMIDITY | WIND |

After a full day of messing around the house, we got ready for the evening. We scored tickets to see Celine Dion in concert. Before heading to the concert venue, we grabbed dinner at The Fountain on Locust. You might remember me and a few friends had gone there and tried their dill pickle soup some months ago. I have been craving that soup ever since then! I know it might not sound good, but folks - it's delicious! I paired it with a great salad that had a caramelized apple on top. YUM!
The concert was amazing! That lady can sing! She mesmerized the crowd with 18 songs, a 16 piece band and 5 outfit changes.
During the encore, she came out of a white fluffy cloud dress and hundreds of lit drones flew around her. Coolest thing!
Her North American tour is just starting, so if she's coming to a city near you grab some tickets. Great show.
Sunday Eric had to work in the morning. I had a wedding meeting at the house and managed to make a couple Halloween cards. Have I told you in the last five minutes how much I love my Silhouette? With the Silhouette Cameo and my embossing machine, making these cards literally took 15 minutes. Good thing because they need to get in the mail ASAP to arrive in time for Halloween!
When Eric got home, we ventured to Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant to do our monthly tasting. We barely fit this in before the end of the month! Where has October gone?? On the way to the restaurant, we drove through Forest Park just to see the beautiful colors on the trees. Eric was a real sport when I asked him to pull over so we could get a picture with the leaves.
And just like that the weekend is over. I have a fun week ahead - a friend and I are taking a vacation day tomorrow to explore a town in southern Missouri. Pop in later to hear about our trip.
Have a great week and finish the month strong!
You had a great weekend in spite of the weather. Very nice picture of you in front of falls glory.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week

Your card is adorable! I hate when the weather gets in the way of our hiking plans. We were lucky that it held off for our hiking group today and the sun made an unexpected appearance.
ReplyDeleteY'all are just having so much fun! I'm so jealous you are going to RISE!! My co-worker went a few months back and she came back on cloud nine.
ReplyDeleteYou do love that Rachel Hollis! Will be interested to hear what you think about the RISE conference. Good for you to go!
ReplyDeleteYou kids sure know how to turn a rainy weekend into a good time. Celine Dion? Wow!!!
