Great Weekend

We had a great weekend.

L and I had the house to ourselves for most of the weekend and we took advantage of it every opportunity we had.

Stepdaughter and the kid disappeared on Friday night and didnt return until Saturday afternoon. I was a bit pissed about that, but we had other plans for the evening anyway, so the timing was ok by me.

She called at 600PM to tell us that our income tax refund was in the mail. Like we were going to be able to do anything about it on a saturday night anyway. At that time, she wasnt sure what her and the spawn were going to do, but likely would be going over to SH1 house.

She was told that we would be going to a family function on Sunday and that we would be leaving the house no later than 11AM.

We got home Saturday night, and they were gone, we got up sunday morning and they werent home, we left sunday and went to the family function and they were nowhere to be found or heard from. We got home and they finally called. Would be home on monday morning. Went to SH1's famliy outing (the same one she was bitching about going to just 2 days earlier.

Needless to say, L and i got busy and took advantage of an empty house.

Oh and i started brewing beer again this past weekend. I have a batch of blackberry wheat beer cooking in the tub upstairs. Had to put it in the tub cause it kept blowing the top off the bucket and getting yeast and beer spooge all over the floor.

WIll let you know how it turns out, but I am optomistic that it will be a keeper recipe.

Incredibly optimistic! I like how you spun the stepdaughter being gone all weekend into a good thing. And happy for you and your wife to "get busy".

I'm not a beer drinker, but an ex of mine brewed his own. I always found it interesting. He once made a batch that we called "Phonebook Beer", as that's exactly what he dropped in the bucket. It was surprisingly good!

Thanks, It was a VERY GOOD WEEKEND for both of us. We havent has a weeknd like that in quite a long time, and certinaly not since the wedding in december.

I use to make homebrew quite a bit, but kids and then a divorce interuppted my brewing adventures. Glad to be back at it again.
