Our Weekend
Our weekend consisted of dog sitting, me working and a festival!
We dog sat for a client of mine in a house that is so far above my pay grade I will never have one in my life…..unless I were to marry a millionaire which isn’t likely. Nadia loves to go there because there is a movie theater in the house and one of the dogs, Henry, loves to snuggle with her.
It almost makes it hard to come back to my hovel……almost. The internet service is terrible!! I attempted to participate in some blog link ups but the connection made loading the linky pages sooooo slooooww I finally gave up. And it just isn’t homey. Not my kind of homey anyway.
Since this family is a regular client of mine I did some of my routine work while I was there and also went over and worked at the mother’s house. We will be staying there again in late July for eight days…..Nadia can’t wait!
But we did find time for some fun! We went to the Scottish Highland Games where there was Scottish rock-n-roll, athletics, jewelry, food and many many clan booths. The highlight for me was receiving a weaving/warping tutorial for table top & floor looms. This is my newest interest and I am really enjoying it!! They also had displays of the mesh body armor soldiers wore in the middle ages…which was pretty cool. Wish my son had been there to see those!
And while there, I had to stop and have Nadia take a pic of me in, I don’t even know what these are called…and of course, my eyes are closed. Nadia refused to take part in such silliness 
My brother usually takes care of my dogs when we dog sit and he does a great job! His dog will be staying with us while he does a little traveling on his Harley this summer. My boys love having his girl around and they get along really well.
It is nice to be home with my boys, a good internet connection and my kind of hominess!
Hope you all had a great weekend!
I’m a pet sitter too, and I love it! I’ve been doing it for 20 years. The Scottish Highland Games looks fun. I’m not sure we have anything like that here, but I’d go if we did. #debbieinshape
Pet sitter can definitely be interesting…..must love pets! Thanks for stopping by, Stephanie!
I ran in a 14km fun run and improved my time so was happy with that! Sometimes we wish we could live somewhere else but at the end of the day home is where the family is. #debbieinshape
Wow, good for you! I have never been able to run distance like that…I was a sprinter in school. I wish I could be a runner. Thanks for stopping by!
I simply love your picture. I would join you for sure.
Yesterday it was father’s day here in Belgium and last Saturday we went to our in-laws.
It was a calm weekend but it was good.
Great to hear!…..I think you need some calm time after the traumatic surgery you endured. Thanks for stopping by!
Does dog sitting involve house sitting while the owners are away?
For some silly reason I never feel comfortable living in other peoples houses.
I am glad you can enjoy it and have fun.

Yes, house sitting and sometimes doing some work around the house. We look at it as a little (free) mini vacation!
We had a pretty relaxing weekend and our monthly massages. I’ve never been to a Scottish Highland Games and we have them about 5 miles up the road. Thanks for sharing at the #AnythingGoes Link Party.
Monthly massages?….how nice! Thanks for stopping by!
Sounds like you had a fun time! I really dislike it when the internet service is terrible. It can ruin a whole day!
It certainly can
Thanks for stopping by, Liz!
Sounds like a great house! Here’s something to try that worked for me, put an ad blocker on your computer, turn it on and the linky parties will load super fast. It is the ads on the blogs that is slowing you down sometimes. Hope that helps! Thank you so much for linking up to Merry Monday this week! I am sharing your post today on Pinterest! We hope to see you next week for another great party! Have a great week!
Best,
Kim
Thanks so much Kim!
Home sweet Home! Sounds like an adventurous weekend! But, it’s never good to have slow internet
Thanks for sharing your post with us at Together on Tuesdays! I love your pic….
Looks like it was a fun week! Thanks for sharing your week at Social Butterfly Sunday! Hope you will join the link up again this week
