This weekend was a busy one. Saturday morning began with a college graduation at Endicott College for my grandson, Joshua, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice.

After photos were taken, we headed to my daughter’s home for a graduation party. The food was delicious. I ate a few things (sausage and peppers and antipasto) that I normally would not have!!

Sunday was my great grandson, Gianni’s, 1st Birthday Party. Another day of partying with delicious beef and chicken kebobs plus many side dishes.

The weather was gorgeous for the events on both days. Today was a day of rest and laying in the sun. My tan has a great start for the summer!!

Did I mention that I haven’t been to the gym since Friday morning? It was closed today, but I did do a light workout at home over the weekend.

I’m on the “straight and narrow” starting tomorrow at 5:00am….back on track!

I especially enjoyed seen this kind of blogs sharing about younger ones.

Thank for sharing.

PS: You do not eat antipasto normally? It is delizioso.

You've had a good weekend and you must be very proud of your family! Eating a few treats is OK once in a while.
