Busy Weekend/ Simple Pleasures

(PHOTO: "Jessica Fletcher" in Murder She Wrote -TV series on DVD - one of our favorites)
The weekend has come and gone, and despite the fact that today is Martin Luther King, Jr. day, and a holiday for me, Tom is working. Tom ALSO had to work all day Saturday, in order to have inauguration day off tomorrow (because the traffic/metro into Washington DC will be of record proportions).
While Tom worked Saturday, I took care of Dolly and Franklin, and did all of the household chores and a couple of quick errands for the house. When Tom returned at 6pm I had just started dinner. We were BOTH tired!
Sunday found us breakfasting at Panera Bread (as usual), and we met friends Steve and Jane for lunch, and Steve's sister was in from New Mexico. That was fun. My younger brother flew in to BWI Airport for the Inauguration (from New England) with a friend, and Tom and I picked them up and drove them to the Metro immediately so they could get to their hotels before the first event started. They've got events all through the next three days! WE are not going to DC for the inauguration, although we'd love to. Too crowded, and way too cold (in the mid-20s all day).
OUR WEEKEND TV VIEWING: DVDs of the Television shows "Hetty Wainthropp Investigates" (BBC show); and "Murder She Wrote" with George Clooney as a guest star, and he was only 22 in the episode. Do WE feel old!
Sunday night Tom's parents made us dinner! We love that! A nice way to end a weekend.
