Vacation Stories

My friend Anywho and I had a FABULOUS time! We ate lunch, we shopped, we enjoyed iced lattes on a sidewalk bench, we shopped some more. We spent a bunch of time wandering the bookstore…we browsed the wine shops. We enjoyed a yummy relaxing late dinner at Lillian’s Restaurant, picked up some cheesecake slices from Uncommon Grounds (THE best coffee shop on the planet by the way,) and then retired to the lovely Saratoga Arms to drink wine, read gossip magazines, chat, and half-watch Twilight. Ahhhhh….SUCH a relaxing day.

I’m a new woman!

Happy Mother’s Day to all my Mommy friends out there! Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

And the only decent photo of the event…was too busy having fun to lug my camera around. (Sorry!)

Longing…

Scott Thomas’ photos of Ocean City, New Jersey, and the beach shots from Shrew are making me long to go back to the ocean. Since that’s not possible, I’ll just dig up a few more photos from the trip. Enjoy our virtual visit to the sea!

Ahhh…can you smell it? 😉

SGDT-HC Days 2&3

So, yesterday was recovery from Party #1 and sleepover, along with preparing the house for Party #2. Today we have 24 people coming to enjoy a day of fun and frivolity. Okay…so fun, but I’m not one for too much frivolity. 😉

We have volleyball, swingball, basketball, ladder golf, and bocce all set and ready to go, and the deck will finally be christened with a large event. I was up at 5:30 and at the grocery store by 6:00am, Dunkin Donuts coffee in hand to do my grocery shopping without a screaming toddler screeching for every round fruit in the store…(he’s obsessed with balls as you already know, so getting through the produce department is a feat.) Now, I’m off to prepare fruit salad, about 10 pounds of hamburger, and bake a mac and cheese, along with shucking and halving a crapload of corn. I will try to photograph along the way, but I’ll make no promises! Thinking of my Newport cyberbuddies!
