Hello Monday (August 4, 2025)

 



Hi Friends and Happy Monday!  I am here with Sarah and we are chatting about our weekends.  If you blogged about your weekends, hope you will join us.  Grab the graphic above and link back up with us below!

 

This is what our little summer weekend looked like...

 

Friday

 

Diana headed up to Vermont that morning, with her cheer pals.  The four girls who were picked to cheer in the Shrine game had to head up North for a day of practices and festivities and they were staying overnight.

 

That night, it was time for us to see Eva shine in her DRT production!  She played Charlie in "The Most Epic Birthday Party Ever!" She rocked it :)

 



 










I was joined by my parents and Rob's Dad/Papa.  Rob was in a golf tournament for work and had to miss it.

After Eva's show, the 4 of us snuck out to dinner which was delish.

 


Then we headed back to catch the camp slideshow and finale...Eva has been crying since...she is sooo sad that it is over...she is going to miss her DRT friends so much :(  I am just happy that she loved it so  much


 




 



Diana attended the Athlete's Banquet with her girls on the Eve of the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl Game- she had a blast

 


 

 

Saturday

 

 We were up bright and early, made a quick pit stop at  Dunks and headed on North.  Rob, Eva and I were attending the Shrine game at UVM, Castleton Campus, so we could support Diana and her fellow cheerleaders.  It was the 72nd Annual Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl Game and proceeds from this game benefit the Shriners Children's Hospitals in Montreal, Springfield and Boston.  

 




 






The girls wow'd us...it was so fun...it left us VERY READY for FNL and more FALL FOOTBALL!  It was a tease :) 

 


 





We left after the halftime show and stopped for a late lunch/early dinner at a place called Mollie's in Hanover NH-right near Dartmouth College.  We were very impressed!

 


 We crashed early but not before we started binging Friday Night Lights, yes, yet again...hey it may be our last time.

 


 

Sunday

 

We had a slow morning which felt like heaven!  Diana and I headed to Starbucks to catch up.  I brought my tea from home while she got an iced matcha :)

 


I had the day off from real estate as my buyers were away so I took advantage and planned the perfect summer day- Mass, a Walk on the Rail Trail with Diana, Riding around with the top down, a grilled lunch and eating al fresco...floating in the pool (first time all year!) and then blogging, grabbing muffins with Eva and relaxing.  

 

 Blackout Update: Check out one of our banners- it is go time!  We are in the height of our annual tee shirt sale!




Robby B did the grocery shopping for me and then went golfing with the guys while I unwound with my book and some tv and a little trip to Sunnycrest Farms with Eva so we could snag a few of their S'mores Muffins for the house :)


  

It was an awesome and relaxing summer day!  Way overdue and SO  NEEDED :)

 

 

What were you all up to?

It sounds like a great weekend! Congrats to Diana and her cheer friends who got to cheer at the game- gorgeous girls with serious cheer skills :). How fun to watch Eva perform as well. It's hard to see your kids be sad at something ending yet it's good to know that they loved the activity to care about it so much. Have a great Monday!

Holly said...

Thank you Maria- they had a blast. Yes you are right. So sad for Eva but so glad it was a wonderful experience for her at the same time!

Amy Scott said...

What a perfect weekend! I am craving a decent restaurant meal after some not so good ones lately. I love a good restaurant salad! Those muffins - wow!
You all should try the sheet pan smores thing I posted. It's a layer of marshmallows broiled in oven a bit, then choc chips, then graham cracker crumbs - cool then cut.

Eva looks like she’s totally in her element on that stage - a true natural! Diane and her friends looked beautiful for the banquet. What a great opportunity for her to get to cheer at that game. Looks like you had an awesome weekend! Cheers to a new week!

Looks like a fun weekend for all. The weather looks beautiful too. I'm starting to get excited for fall football. There's a sports lull at the moment . Glad you got a float in and made your perfect summer day!
