Nice weekend

I spent the weekend in Grass Valley, a charming city an hour north of Sacramento. My older sister and her husband live there.  My nephew AJ graduated from high school, and i'm glad I got to be there.  I love Grass Valley. The town is small with lots of little stores with great finds.  The city is surrounded by the forest and there is no traffic; everything is slow there.  What a nice change of pace.

I missed my boys terribly, but it was so nice to sit, read people magazine, and eat with no interuptions. I think mom's should get a weekend off once a month just to unwind, and relax.  I spent Saturday just hanging out with family in the front yard and enjoying the slow pace with a nice cool breeze. 

Sunday it was back to reality: grocery shopping, laundry, cleaning, etc. but how wonderful it was to see my two little men in the back seat of the car waiting for mommy. There smiles were so sweet.
