Another weekend gone by

We didn't do much this weekend but it was a good weekend nevertheless. Philip and Selena came to stay with us and it was good catching up with them. They made their yearly pilgrimage to Carowinds and Gastonia on Friday and left home for Raleigh on Saturday evening.
On Saturday morning, we went over to our in-law's, bringing with us 3 dozen doughnuts from Krispy Kreme. Insane? Yes. We were given 2 coupons for 2 dozen doughnuts. But the cashier at KK gave us an extra box. Guess it was a "Buy Two dozen, Free One dozen" thing. I swear this time the evil doughnut did NOT speak to me.
My in-laws had a big yard sale at their place. They told us people came as early as 6.30am! Apparently these early birds are serious yard sale shoppers and they make it a weekly ritual going around neighborhoods looking for yard sales. We brought our leftover stuff from our yard sale over and my sister-in-law brought hers too. So yes, there was a lot of stuff. And a lot of people too.
The boys were there, running around, playing with their toys that were supposed to be for sale. They were entertaining as usual. And they helped us eat the doughnuts. No doubt that made them run around more.
We brought Philip and Selena to our favorite jaunt, Tin Tin Buffet, for lunch. And stuffed our faces as usual.
Then Jason and I decided to check out the swimming pool at the clubhouse. We rode our bikes there, spent about an hour in the pool, and rode home. A very relaxing way to end the Saturday. I think we will have to do this more often.
You would probably have read Jason's rant about our church-going experience on Sunday. It's a pity that ruined our experience. St. Luke's has a peaceful setting, tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Tall ceilings were constructed out of wooden beams. No pews. No kneeling. Nice band too. And the holy water sprouted out from a fountain near the entrance. They have a little courtyard and a nice corner for personal reflection.
We didn't get to go to the pool this evening because it rained. Just a slow lazy Sunday for us. I am now waiting for 4400 to come on.
