This weekend The Husband was at home, and for a change he wasn't "hiding" behind a barricade of all sorts of medical books. He had a real "just-to-enjoy" weekend.
Saturday morning, we had a lazy breakfast with coffee and a strawberry jam. Then we got in the car and went on a little road trip to Bentonville and Fayetteville. Teenager refused to come with us, claiming his weekend sleep.
Our thirst for an art was satisfied at Crystal Bridges Museum.

With a lifted spirit we headed for a bite at the museum coffee shop. Oh yes, I need that dessert please!  Next stop: the brewery we heard has some good beer to offer. Well, I have to admit, not only the beer: I had my best ever portobello mushroom burger. The Husband loved the beer, as designated driver I loved a little taste and atmosphere at the bar. We certainly would go back.   On the way home we were singing along with a radio. And what a beautiful "just-to-enjoy" day it was!  |
It has many colors, we only need to stop and see it.
Have a good week, and have a simple things to enjoy, my friends!
See you,
Marina

That is true, art and food go perfectly well together.
DeleteSounds like a perfect weekend - I have to remember to do this more often and have some completely work-free weekends.

ReplyDeleteYe, it was a good day. And I need to remind myself to make it happen more often. Everyone needs a rest, and The Husband said that he doesn't remember when he rested that well last time. It was nice to hear from him. :)

ReplyDeleteWhat art does to us? I don't know, but it does something... :)
DeleteThat was quite a lovely, relaxing and colorful day, thanks for sharing. The horse sculpture is one of my favorites, do you remember who the artist is?
ReplyDeleteHi Norma, No, I don't remember seeing any signs. I hope to go back with the camera (all those picture were taken by phone) and maybe I'll find the author's name. It s really great sculpture indeed, one of my favorites too.
