A Fall Picnic

A few days ago....I decided to surprise my hubby with a picnic for his lunch break. I was on vacation....didn't go anywhere just stayed home and got some things done around the cottage. Anyway, I knew he was coming home for lunch so I thought since it was such a pretty Fall day....a picnic would be perfect. I decorated outside at the picnic table and swing. I even hung a picture on a tree. It was fun getting it all ready before he got there.

We had barbecue chicken, baked beans, coleslaw and of course good ole' sweet tea. It was such a pretty day. Perfect temperature outside....just a tiny bit breezy. It felt so good to be outside sharing lunch with my best friend.

I wish that you could have seen his face whenever he came up the driveway and saw it all. He had the biggest smile on his face.

We ate and talked and enjoyed just being alone for an hour of our busy day.

He started laughing whenever I pulled out my camera to take his picture. He knew what I was planning to do with it. A blog post...of course!

He told me this lunch was better that any restaurant that we could have went to. I agree.

Afterwards we relaxed on the swing with our sweet tea and talked about our plans for the future. We have so many things planned....getting more things done at the cottage. We plan on building on to it next year. A new family room and master bedroom and bath. We decided to stay in my little cottage after we were married because it is so peaceful here and we have so many memories here. (He proposed to me on my porch swing.)

We're just trying to keep everything in perspective....not get to stressed out about our future plans on the cottage. It's easy to get wrapped up into all of that stuff and forget what you're even doing it for. We plan on enjoying all of it....together.

After all...Home is where your story begins.

Hope you all have a beautiful day!

Hugs,
