The weather this weekend definitely felt like fall! I wore my long sleeve under armour shirt every morning for biking and running it was so cool! Around 50 degrees! Ah blacksburg :) Today we are back to summer!
Mom was in town with a friend this weekend. We tried out a new restaurant for dinner thursday night. Lefty's Grill (not sure on exact name). Quite a variety with some originals and some crazy twists. I recommend ya'll check it out! My sandwoch was served on french bread, with a blue cheese ish sauce, ham, asparagus, walnuts, not sure what else.. but that's an example. We also had potato crisps topped with a cilantro lime salsa. I like the place.
Friday we headed down to Wytheville, took my bike in for the 2 month tune up. We putzed around and found a couple nice places including a great quilt shop! Had no clue it was there. Now I know where to go when I'm looking for fabric, not that I will be finishing the current quilt any time soon. I found a great rayon batik I'm going to attempt to make into a beach wrap/sarong. Friday night we hit Floyd of course :) M's family was in town from MO and FL, R was there with his family, I ran into an old friend from college.. the place was more packed then I had ever seen it! The oldtime (I think that's what it's called) band was amazing. It was a great Floyd night! Quote from Rob's 7 year olds "Can we move to Floyd?"
Saturday we spent a couple hours walking around downtown blacksburg checking out Steppin Out. It's my favorite festival blacksburg puts on.. well except for TECH FOOTBALL that is :) haha. I'm getting kinda of sick of photography, pottery, and jewelry at craft shows.. but I thought they had a good variety of vendors this year. We spent the rest of the day relaxing and watching HGTV.. surprise surprise when mom has control of the remote. Really though once you watch 5 min of a home improvement/makeover show you are sucked in and have to see the final result! So if you want to get out of the coma you have to be ready to switch the channel or turn off the TV as soon as a show ends!
Sunday was all about relaxing :) Well except for the 8 mile run. I really did not want to run when I woke up and it took all I had to make myself go. Still in my mind I was thinkin 'just get started.. if it stinks you can turn around and cut the run short'. Crazy.. it was my best run so far, once I started it felt great. I just don't get it! Every mile was under 10 min, which may sound slow to you.. but I am slow :) If the VA Beach run is really as flat as everyone says it is, maybe I do have hope of shaving a couple minutes off my time!
I love when Mom comes to town, I had a great time with her and Anne :) Next time they visit I'm thinking of teaching them how to play DDR and Shuffleboard :)
