Hooray, for 3 day weekends!!
My parents came to Memphis for a visit and it was so nice spending some quality time with them.
Friday night we took them to dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, South of Beale (SOB). It was featured on Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives and I knew they would love it! SOB did not disappoint. My parents enjoyed it very much like I knew they would. They love the DDD show and it was a real treat taking them to one of the tv show's destinations. We then went to listen to some live Country music. My Dad always requests going to listen to this one band who headlines every Friday night at one of the local bars.
Saturday, my Mom and I started a little Christmas shopping and then returned home to kick off the Auburn football season. I was not ready for football to start. I had forgotten the nervous pang in my heart that the Auburn Tigers always bring out in me. AAAaaaahhhh!!! At least, we won though.
We grilled some delicious burgers for dinner and introduced my parents to corn hole. They loved it. It also gave us a few laughs and they now want a set of their own.
Sunday, we had a wonderful brunch at Lafayette's Music Room where we were serenaded with some smooth jazz and wonderful atmosphere. Later, we went to a local antique store to browse and burn off a few of those holiday weekend calories. That night we took my parents to our local watering hole, Brookhaven Pub and Grill. We love visting this place when one of our favorite Memphis musicians is playing, Charvey
We had a fantastic weekend full of good food, great music, and wonderful company. It's nice having that extra day added to the weekend. It's amazing what you are able to accomplish with just a little more time before the busy work week.

Here's how we labored on Labor Day
Vacuumed & dusted the house
Washed loads upon loads of laundry
Napped
Painted awning to our backyard shed
Performed a little post holiday workout
Made dinner
and was in bed by 9
Perfection!
Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend!
