{simple summer weekends}

Hello and Happy Monday to you!!!!
What a weekend it was:)


I love summer....have I mentioned that to you!?!?!?
I just love everything little thing about summer....going to the beach....fun times with friends {and having the energy to have fun times with friends}....listening to music outside...just being able to be outside.!!!

This weekend my friend and I went to the beach and it was perfect.
The morning started off pouring buckets of rain.....but lucky for us...things cleared up into a fabulous day:)
You can tell the sand was still wet when we got there!


and it was super hot and humid....my kind of weather:) Maybe that's why the beach was pretty empty!
After the beach....we went to The Stray Dog and had a little lunch!

Then we cleaned up and went out to see one my most FAVORITE local bands.

Little Frank:)

I love...love...love music! If you were to ever stop over on a whim....you'd never catch me watching t.v. but you might find that I have music playing:)
and I love the music of Little Frank... I call it bluesy funky!


I also found a new beer I love! It's not often that I drink beer....you know I am a wine girl.
But this beer is so light and refreshing....give it a whirl ....you might like it:)

Happy....Happy:)


And them my stars aligned...

I got to meet Little Frank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I realized he is younger than me......I would have thought that he would be older...but ....nope...i'm the older one:) Thank goodness my husband was kind enough to take lots of photos for me!

He's not super famous or maybe he is!?!? Who knows....but i've really admired his music for at least 10 years!!! And that night was the night that I got to chat with him! How fun:)
and he was kind enough to let us take lots of pictures!!!!!!!!
Did I mention that I love summer!?!!? It's just such a fun season! And it's always the little things that make me the happiest:)
Sure hope you had a fabulous weekend too!!!!!!!!!!

    I also love the summer traditions of al fresco, breathing in summer air, blowing bubbles, growing my garden, and the list goes on.

  11. Well, I also spent the weekend at the beach and found a new beer! I'm also not much of a beer drinker, but Longboard Island Lager from Hawaii was crisp and refreshing on a hot summer day. Summer Shandy sounds delicious also, I'll have to give that one a try.

    Aloha!

  20. Super cute black dress! Thats my kind of summer day. Can't beat a good local band. Thats what I like about going downtown...it is full of the arts- music, painting, sculptures, jewelry, crazy dressed people and friendly, good food and drink...and everyone rides beach cruisers!

    My son was the lead screamer of a band when he was 16...it was fun to follow and caravan them everywhere...I was the band mama!
