Indy weekend

It was actually kind of nice to be home for a weekend after three (for me) away. We took it easy on Saturday morning before stopping by Susie's estate sale to snoop around and then heading downtown to have lunch at Harry & Izzy's. YUM! Jackson's cousins Dede (from Portland, OR) and Will (from Ft. Myers, FL) were in town celebrating their dad's 80th birthday so we all got together for lunch.

I don't get many fancy lunches now that I don't work in public accounting or even an office (ha!) so I was pretty excited for our dining experience. It did not disappoint. The shrimp cocktail was amazing, as always. Everyone except for Jackson got their prime rib sandwich. He got a salad because he knew he'd get some of my sandwich. He's not dumb. :) 

BEST shrimp cocktail on the planet!

We even split a brownie for dessert. It was amazing. Their ice cream on top was just beyond. I cannot recommend this place enough. They have an excellent lunch special, too!

DESSERT! 

It was really nice to get to catch up with everyone. Will had just lived through his first hurricane so he had some fun stories from that.

Susie's estate sale had ended by the time we got back to Fishers so we stopped by her house to see what did not sell and just stroll down memory lane. She sold her house quickly and seems to have mixed emotions about it no longer being her home. Jackson got a little sad, too. She'll have an apartment in Fishers again this Spring. She will move back to Florida in mid-October. Until then, she is living in our guest room. This arrangement means a lot of walks for MacKenzie and more treats. I have yet to hear her complain about either.

Cozy.

We had a pretty low-key day today. We cleaned the house, cooked at home and just kind of got settled back in. That isn't always a bad thing. We've got another busy week ahead...
