Sometimes you just need a weekend at home. A weekend that is not filled to bursting with activities and things to do, places to go, people to see.

We just had such a weekend. We stayed home! I worked on sewing a costume for my daughter to wear to the Texas Renaissance Festival. We are planning to go there next weekend. Many people dress up for the festival and since my daughter is such a diva, I knew that she would want a princess dress.
Also, this weekend, we made a large pot of homemade chili and spent a good bit of time reading. I usually have about three books that I am reading. One of the books I have been reading is Travels With Barley by Ken Wells. This is a narrative about beer and travelling the great river road down the Mississippi in search of the perfect beer joint. The chapters are interspersed with beer lore, beer history, and excellent beer information. To read more about this book, you can click here.
