Sunrise in Flagler Beach

Finally made it up and down to the beach for sunrise... well, almost :-)  Should have been there just a bit earlier.  Great Sunday - photos, breakfast, coffee and conversation at my sister's cafe and then a movie later on.  Hope your weekend was spectacular!

Inside Breezin'

I just have to post again this week... not that I have anything profound to share.  No, it's just that I can't stand looking at that dog picture every time I open my blog:-)  What was I thinking?  It seemed funny at the time and certainly more entertaining than real pictures of Grace not feeling well!

Someone asked to see pictures of the inside of Breezin' - so here they are.  I don't have a wide-angle lens so they are not the best but you get the idea.

Went to check on her and start reorganizing for our trip..

The dullness you see on her roof is pollen!  In need of a bath...

Looking into the sleeping area - door on the left is the wet bath

Almost Spring

Sending some sunshine for my friends that are getting blasted by icy weather yet again.

A sunny (but windy) day at Washington Oaks; a few more plants were blooming this trip.  It's almost spring....no, really.... it is

At least the dogs have retired....

You'd think with all this gorgeous sunshine we've had the past few days that I would have a LOT to write about... I don't.

It occurred to me this morning, that the only ones in this team of three that have really retired are Grace and Dillon, my canine companions.  They wake each morning to a quick trip outside, someone (me!) serves them breakfast, then it's back to lounging while I toll away.  They stay inside in the A/C except when nature calls or Grace dumps the slobbery ball in my lap enough times to get me outside for a game of fetch.  I do my hair with supplies from Wal-Mart;  they have 'beauty' appointments at the local Petsmart.  The rest of the day, they guard the front door in case anyone is brave enough to use 'their' street.  Meanwhile I take conference calls shut in the back room (in case Grace decides to tell someone off for walking down her street.) Heaven forbid the UPS driver has a delivery and actually comes to the porch!  At night, I clean the 'dog art' off the front door so they have a clear view to guard the next day.

Rough life!

Guarding the door

I did manage to stroll around the Fine Arts festival on Sunday, and enjoy dinner with my mom, sister and brother-in-law... Grace and Dillon had to stay home!

Great day for a bike ride!

Dinner at the beach

T.G.I.F.

I thought I was done with that expression when I quite the corporate world over a year ago.  

This week has been kind of hectic though with deadlines, and few more hours than usual at my from-home-contract-job.  

I escaped for an hour this morning to get a few groceries.  I pulled into the parking lot, 

crossed the road on my walk to the town square, past my sister's cafe - Kokomo's. 

I stopped to say hi but didn't eat there... I am really, really trying to eat healthier (and I already had breakfast).  But I think she has to wipe the drool off of her bakery case when I leave.

Strolled over to the farmer's market to grab a few veggies. 

The Flagler Farmer's Market has been around since 1979 and is open every Friday and Saturday.  Besides great deals on fresh and organic veggies, there is fresh local caught seafood, citrus, baked goods, jams, local honey, pottery, baskets, jewelery... a little something for everyone.  Parking isn't always great, but it's worth the trip.  Go early, then visit Kokomo's for the best coffee around. 

I even found some new pillows for "Breezin".

Forgive the pictures - all I had was the phone

Tomorrow is Saturday and I will be packing up "Breezin" for a quick trip on Monday, hooray! I'll be testing out my work from the campground theory.

Have a great weekend…
