Fun Weekend!

Even though I didn't do much this weekend, it was very pleasant. I had to come to campus for a work function Saturday at 11:30, so I ran a few errands Saturday morning (getting my windshield chips fixed, stopping by Walgreens) and then headed to campus. After the event, which, thankfully was held in exactly the time specified, I stopped at Roly Poly for a delicious sandwich and then headed home.
I debated doing Saturday vigil mass, but decided I wanted to get out. I hadn't been to Marshalls in forever, and it was calling my name. I think the upcoming Destin trip had me really wanting to pick up a few vacay items. I found a few very cute items at Marshalls!! (Shocking, I know)

How can you not love that furry face?

I went home quite satisfied Saturday evening. Thought about venturing out, but then I sat on the couch and it was all she wrote....



Sunday was particularly productive. I got a lot of chores done, cooked, and caught up with an old friend.

After re-hanging the bird feeder for my fatty birds, I took a few pictures of the one lone magnolia flower on the tree. So pretty and such a strong sweet smell!!!

 
Finally the food!!!


I put about 1/2 cup of chicken broth in the bottom of my slow cooker. Then I cut (very large chunks) carrots and sweet potatoes. I lightly salted and seasoned (all-purpose seasoning) the veggies and put them in the broth at the bottom of the cooker. I generously salted/peppered/seasoned the pork roast and threw in a bay leaf and some parsley. Set the roast on top of the veggies and cooked on high for about an hour and a half an then turned it to low for about 5 and a half hours. 
When I returned home from visiting with Kelly, I thanked J for cooking, as the house smelled delicious!!! I went to check the roast and when I pushed it with the fork, it fell apart.... talk about juicy and delicious!!!

 

Perfect end to a nice Sunday!!
