mini vacation

I always love going on the ferry, it feels like a mini vacation. I took Annika home and her mommy met us on the other side. Annika and I had alittle lunch on the ferry even though I knew Lia would want to have creps when we got there. These crepes are to die for! We had desert first....strawberry& chocolate...honey& almonds! And if that wasn't enough then we went and had fish and chips! I seriously was full for 24hrs.! It was fun even if it was freezing and overcast. What is it they say: "Anything you do that's different from your routine is a vacation."



Our little picnic...(I got to use my thermos..worked great and kept us warm while we were waiting for our crepes!






Silly us!



Thanks to the Navy we've got to take lots of mini vacations over to the Pennisula. How blessed we've been to have Lia and Tony and their family be stationed here , not just once, not just twice , but THREE times!




The Best crepes!


Anthony and bo0-boo waiting patiently.








So next time you have a free afternoon and alittle extra money take a mini vacation!

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a
