Happy Thursday friends! Thanks for stopping by today for Thinking Out Loud Thursday where I share something on my mind and invite you to link up and do the same.
Can you believe we are only a week away from Thanksgiving, which is one of my most favorite holidays? Life has been happening at what feels like warp speed lately and I'm having a hard time keeping up. We have emerged from the pandemic where our calendars were empty to now where days are full of activity.
Today I'm reflecting on last weekend. After over a year's delay, several of my friends and I gathered for a girls' weekend!
On Friday I traveled to Kansas City knowing that fun was just ahead. Believe it or not, about halfway across the state of Missouri I ran into snow! It wasn't sticking on the ground and didn't last long, but it was still a shock to see snow this early in the season.
As Friday evening unfolded, one by one we arrived at my friend Linda's house. We had a lot of catching up to do and did it while munching on appetizers and playing games.
Saturday morning we leisurely got ready and headed out to do a little shopping. By mid-day, we were ready for lunch. We went to the cutest little taco joint in downtown Lee's Summit called Taco Holics Club.
More shopping ensued through the afternoon and then we headed back to Linda's to get ready for our dinner out. The restaurant we were dining at was The Belfry in downtown Kansas City. Chef Celina Tio puts her touch on bar fare and serves craft beer and cocktails. To cap off our dinner, we ordered all six desserts on the menu and shared!
Sunday morning we went to The Shack for breakfast and amused ourselves with the adorable names of the menu items. Have you been to a Shack before? The coffee drinkers in our bunch raved about their coffee and the food was great. We feasted on things called Do I Still Look Big in These Pants and Junk in the Trunk.
All the way home I kept thinking to myself how lucky I am to have friends to share weekends like that with. We shared books we'd read, television shows we're watching, and recipes we've tried. These friends definitely make my life better and I'm so thankful for them!
Now it's your turn - what are you thinking out loud about today? Link up and share!
I had kind of hoped that November would move a bit more slowly, but...
