Waiting on the Weekend

For the entire summer we have had nothing but, hot, sunny weather that permits any type of outdoor activity.  This weekend calls for some rain on Saturday, which should be quite refreshing! Nevertheless, I still plan on outdoor events with friends! More specfically- the horse races!


Im attending the horse races on Saturday to watch a co workers horse run!

The races are the BEST reason to wear my large floppy hat!
 
 A rainy day calls for breaky with the besties!

Sad Story

For those in the Winnipeg area, I recommend you check out Aqua Book's EAT! Bistro by the end of September. Aqua Books is a book store that hosts a tasty bistro inside. They just announce that they will be closing sometime after September.  This newspaper article suggestion several reasons why.  The one that stands out the most to me is the fact that physical books are just not in demand anymore.  Which made me wonder- when will the day come when children no long know what holding a reading pages from a book is like? Scary!

Back to the first line in this post- EAT! Bistro is the delish gluten free option restaurant within Aqua Books. The menu is delicious and very reasonably priced.  It is a local shop that won't be around much longer and I plan on taking full advantage of it while it is still here.  Stop in and test out the menu.  Perhaps even buy a book!

Nice Life

I hope everyone had a relaxing and rewarding weekend! Mine was filled with soccer games, beach days and family suppers. Can you ask for anything better? Nice life!  
The weather this weekend was perfect: sunny, +30, with a very slight breeze.  A group of friends and I packed up our  towels and sunscreen and lay in the sun for the afternoon!

New Kid On the Block

I am very grateful to have had such a wonderful summer thus far with fabulous weekends filled with relaxing at the lake, drinks with friends, quality time with the bf and, what seems to be endless days of hot sunny weather. This summer I have really focused on trying new things, enjoying downtime (which as a fresh grad seems to be a luxury as well as somthing hard to allow yourself to do) and taking in every day for what it is.
