Good times with hubbs

Yay for short work weeks! We only had to suffer till Wednesday then we drove away. 
My Wednesday before yoga drinkie. Then I had 2 yoga classes. 😁
Next day back to the same place for coffee before road trip. 😁 hubby and I headed north.
When we made it to town, we checked into the hotel and went for dinner. We tried a new brewery. Fields and ivy. So good!
Appetizer.
Greek and chicken "fun guy" pizza.
Side salad and sweet potato fries!

On Saturday we went to downtown Lawrence and popped into some shops we hadn't been to before. We got 4 records, tons of European snackies and some fun games and such from the toy store. We also saw another store cat! Unfortunately Dina the bookstore cat passed away a couple days ago, so we weren't able to visit her.
Sean the sheep!
Kinda wanted this mobile.
Dave! 
Oh to be a shop cat.
Lunch at a Mexican place near the hotel
So. Much. CHEESE!!

When gma and gpa were ready for us, we headed over. We had a nice visit and did a couple things for gpa. Then we went back to the hotel. 

On Saturday we went to Home Depot to get some things for gma's honey do list. Then we got to work! We covered the a/c unit, broke down some boxes in the garage, put an anti-mice thing in the garage, took care of her hoses, installed a deadbolt in the front door, cleaned the kitchen windows, replaced a heating vent cover, and did a Walmart run. It was a busy, busy day! 
Obligatory selfie.
I've always loved their garden.
It was a beautiful day.
We did get a lunch break. Picked it up from Hog Wild BBQ!
Very proud of us for this. Neither of us had installed a deadbolt before. Hubbs is a real trooper!
Gma treated us to some sparkling apple juice when all the stuff was done. 

Today we shall go pick up some stuff gma is sending us home with, and then head back south. It's been a nice trip and it's always such a blessing to see gma and gpa. I really am lucky to still have them. Their stories of growing up in KS are wild, almost like another world! Hubbs got to experience more of KS and I think checkers may be his new favorite grocery store! They have an unexpectedly awesome international section. I got to walk around Mass and visit some of my favorite shops. And gma and gpa have got less "to dos" to worry about. It's wild to me that there are certain things Walmart just won't deliver to them. We cleaned them OUT of spinach. 😆

Anyway, I hope all of you also had a lovely weekend that maybe didn't involve installing a deadbolt. I feel like hubbs and i worked together on it pretty well and when it frustrated me, he calmly took over and finished up. I am very grateful and super smitten with him. When he finished the deadbolt, I went and cleaned the windows. So it was kind of a divide and conquer scenario. Lol. We had some fun looking at the KC-centered ads we were getting and may just be back in Feb for KC brew fest. Hehe. Much love to all, and may your jury duty be canceled, as mine was (first time ive been pulled for it, too). 😁🥰
