A Nice, Quiet Weekend

Not only was this last Sunday Father's Day, it was You Know Who's and my thirtieth anniversary. That's right, thirty, three zero, three decades. I'm not sure where all that time has gone. I look at our kids and grandson and know I am getting older but apart from the days where my body doesn't cooperate, I don't feel older. I look at this man whom I love more than when we first decided to spend the rest of our lives together and he just hasn't changed that much. (He loves being told that.) 

Anyway, I am blessed. 

We are blessed, to have the life we do.

 Together. 

It's appropriate then that we spent our weekend with people we love, doing things we enjoy.

It was a gorgeous day out on the water Saturday. He and I went out into the ocean for the first time. Not very far, but far enough for me....

One section of the beach was covered in birds. Their noise was so loud, you could hear it over the crashing surf.

Pelicans in flight are kind of amazing.

Heading into open water.

I made him turn back for the inner coastal before we went too far for my comfort.

Beach baby.

Look at that tongue! 

A picnic would not be complete without iced coffee. 

This stuff has changed my life. 

Seriously.

I broke up with a well known coffee house now that I make my own.

I can have it anytime I want.

I've gained weight. 

I am happy.

Join me?

I've been wanting to try one of these I ♥ faces for awhile now. It's so fun to go to all the other sites and see what inspires other people. There are some gorgeous photos, if you have a minute, go check them out.

P.S. I'm am sewing, I'm just not sharing. Yet.

28 years and counting

While at Jessica and our son in law's, You know who and I reached the milestone of 28 blissful years of marriage. We got a little crazy, we went kayaking. Jess and Uber were game. We all had a blast. First was learning to coordinate our rowing. We had to unlearn some bad habits we'd picked up oh, about, 28 years ago while using a canoe. That accomplished we went, I think, about 6 miles to the ocean and back again.

Look, we are totally in sync..... my paddle is backwards. Maybe that's why it was hard....
This guy understands the word relaxation.
To the ocean and beyond.......

Beautiful scenery and strange birds.


Jess and I were just talking about how strange it is to enjoy doing something for fun that is such hard work. I think that's the way most of our lives should go. Work hard at what ever you do, fun, family, friends, you appreciate it more, it makes it special.

Hey Babe, here's to 28 great years and hopefully at least that many more.

A Pirate's Bite

A cool name for a great little place on the coast. Sherie took me there this afternoon to have the most fantastic Mahi taco ever! Perry the genius behind this creation, was a wonderful host. I'll be sending good thoughts your way Perry!
