Weekend Get Away

We had a wonderful weekend staying with our friends that we used to live by……..really makes me miss living in the country. I took this photo standing in front of their house looking up their beautiful driveway.
We just relaxed out on the patio all day as the weather was absolutely beautiful, sunny but not too hot and perfect for a jacket at night. Of course we had to have a fire.
Weekend Get Away
Builder Bob helped a little on building this gazebo about 8 years ago, it has a hot tub in it and an awesome sound system so you can listen to music even out on the patio.
What a beautiful place for a weekend getaway!
The guys spent the day smoking all kinds of different meats and even hard-boiled eggs!
Would you believe this smoker was made by our friend? He even built their huge back patio himself.
They have several hickory trees that shade the patio……..and drop nuts all over it. They have to clean off the patio daily at this time of year. Of course I had to pick up a bunch of them.
After relaxing all weekend I am ready to get quilting……..today I’ll be busy quilting the Nyan Cat quilt and hopefully will share some pictures with you on Wednesday, don’t forget Linky Party Tuesday will start at midnight tonight.

Great Orange strings, and yes very bright. Your weekend looked like it was fun.
Super beautiful home and yard. Hmmm, I think we could hold a lovely retreat there! lol. The trees are awesome.

That DOES look like a fabulous place to retreat from a busy life. Beautiful.
Love the string blocks!
now that looks like a place I would like to visit.
Love your blocks although they look red to me, too. Someone else said that. Gorgeous getaway with your friends – looks like a weekend at a fancy resort. If your weather was anything like ours it had to be absolutely ideal!!
Wow. I love your bright orange strip blocks. With your permission, I'm going to use this idea for next year's rainbow challenge.
Your friends have a beautiful place 🙂
Wouldn't you love to have a quilt retreat at that place? Sewing all day and then relaxing on the patio ending with a soak in the hot tub. It looked wonderful.
I like the bright string quilts. Can't wait to see what you do with them.
Hahaha! I know a fun craft you can do with those hickory hulls!! We have them in abundance here. Looks like a lovely spot for a serene weekend — glad you had a lovely time! 🙂
