Monday

A Lakehouse Weekend

Ahh, Monday, how did you get here so quickly?!

On Friday after work, Ian and I packed up the car -- after braving a crazy mid-day storm, complete with tons of hail descending on our home ... and cars.  It was so crazy - scroll all the way down for a quick video I took.  You can't really see the hail, but you sure can hear it.

So we headed down south for about an hour and a quarter until we reached my family's lakehouse.  Friday night we sat at the picnic table on the screened porch and had a great dinner {complete with ValSoCal's toasted marshmallow milkshakes, which were OUT.OF.THIS.WORLD.}  Saturday we took the boat out for some cruisin', noodlin', and sangria drinkin'.



Stud at the helm of the boat.  :)  Can you spy our wedding koozies?


As promised, the quick video of the crazy storm.  My plants fared okay and our cars weren't hurt.  It was over and done with in less than a half hour!


Any fun adventures had by you all this weekend?  Also, WELCOME to all of my new followers ... how did I surpass 150 in a blink of an eye?! 

And speaking of followers -- I can't see any of mine OR any on other blogs.  I can only see the quantity I have on my Blogger dashboard.  Is anyone else having this issue?  I googled it and it seems to be a Blogger issue, nothing I've done and apparently nothing I can fix.  Anyone else experiencing this?

    Looks like a lovely weekend!

    And here's a trick - try clearing your browser history and clearing your cache (and cookies). That seemed to do the trick for me, but it's definitely a Blogger fail.

    I wasn't able to see my followers until I switched from Internet Explorer to Mozilla Firefox! I think it is a browser problem.

    It's a blogger issue. The same thing happened to me, but then it started working again a few days later.

    Lake house sounds so lovely! I love that you loved the milkshakes...makes me happy. It seems like every few days I can see my followers and then they are gone for a few days. So strange. Happy Monday!

    So my friend called me on Friday afternoon flipping out saying that it all of the sudden starting pouring and then hailing. I was like, "okaaaay, whatever. you're exhagerating." She wasn't though! So weird because just 15 miles north (where I live) it was sunny skies the entire day -- not even a drop of rain or a dark cloud, let alone hail! Such randomness...

    Toasted Marshmallow Milkshakes?!!?! I must try one--I'm convinced blogging is horrible for both my waistline and wallet! There's nothing like a summer weekend on the water and a crazy storm! Be sure to check out my giveaway tomorrow morning!
