My parents came to town for a lightening-fast trip to attend the Cotton Bowl. {More on that in a future post.}
After they left, The Boy and I took this weekend to fit in a goodly amount of relaxing. Around the Hayley House there was:

| So glad she baked some for us!! |
There was bread baking:

| Does anything smell better than yeast? Seriously. |
And fresh bread eating:

| Perfect lunch: fresh bread, herbed cheese, garlic-stuffed olives and smoked salmon. |

How was yours?
