Sunday Funday - Getting away for a bit

Not a bunch to write about. It is rare we get away from the homestead. Animals tend to tie you to the land.  So last week I put a bunch of day trips in a jar and had Dude pull a card out of a bowl.  Now, twice a month, we will "get away".  Today it was to Blackhawk and Golden, Co.  The weather was perfect and so was the company.  Blackhawk is a gambling town and we found it wasn't our thing...no bartering or anything just giving away your money to someone...hmmm.  So, on the way home I showed Dude one of my favorite spots.

Tomorrow it is back to homestead work and work in the city but for now we just enjoyed!

Serendipity... I just got the movie The Secret Garden from the Thrift Store and then I saw this on the statue we stopped to sit by. Definitely need to watch tonight. 

Next time I am riding down this creek instead of just dangling my feet. 

Peace, health, and happiness. 

Relaxing Sunday

Sunday is our rest day with  family and friends whenever possible or at least that's what we are trying to make the norm. We got our chores done early and cooked breakfast to Dean Martin and Glenn Miller playing in the background.  Later  Dude got the beef jerky all sealed and in 4 ounce packs.

Then the new furniture was put together and set up.

Then we broke out the ice cream makers to make goat milk ice cream.  Family and friends were coming over for sundaes. Then it became a competition of who could make the better ice cream.  I made strawberry ice cream and Dude make Heath Bar ice cream. Then it was time to sit and relax, or walk the property with friends.

We still have family member who need convincing that goat milk is sweet and delicious!

 I think the smile on his face says it might just taste good.  *smile*

I think all the ice cream was a hit.

 And we had to laugh when a piece of beef jerky was pulled from the bag looking like a chicken.

Hope your day was as nice and relaxing as ours.

Peace!
