• Summertime Summertime...
  
  I LOVE summertime...I love it so much that I am beginning to dread winter already!  I looked at the corn...oh big mistake.  It was so high it scared me. 

  

  Once that.."going back to school" dread is in you, it is really in you. 
  I am so grateful neither of my children have had to experience this...we are always in learning mode.
  
  
  I've been busy...gardening, painting odds and ends, taking pictures, cleaning out junk, going to the beach...and still working on the Chicken Coop Art Studio ( Sorry E...no chickens)  We are however calling it the "Chick Coop" now...us gals will do our sewing and art work out there.  Will it EVER be finished???  I hope SOON..hint hint PJ.
  
  We kids ventured to the beach house last week....I do not know when I have had a more relaxing time.  I took my two and two others.  Late nights and early mornings, and we found the most wonderful totally vegan cafe and juice bar...totally vegan.  E did not have to think twice about eating anything there.  She cannot have a drop of dairy...so this was PERFECT.  We got take out all three times and ate our bounty at various places...on the windy gazebo by the bay, in front of the tv watching "Laura" and in the van on the way home.  We are so hooked.  I did not have to lift a finger of cooking.  They did it all when we did not get take out.  Will made us breakfast and grilled our dinner and we had the most perfect stuffed portabellas ever, made by J.  I know I have posted that poem before about sleeping on an island...why is sleeping on an island so wonderful?  We can hear the ocean from the house...when the neighbor's AC is not running and watch the moon slowly glide around the house through our bedroom windows at night.  I love it there so much and would move there in a heartbeat if I could.

  They brought me a blinking tiara...no, I am not kidding.  This is how they spent their skee ball tickets.
  They call me Princess of the Sea, yes, that would be POTS for short.

  Jen wanted her toe nails done on the way home...she is tucked in the way back.
  She named our vehicle...The Spa Van.
  

  
  
  The library in our little beach town was built in the early 20's and it adorable...old looking and rustic..brick and cozy.  It reminds me of a solid old light house.  To insure going back, I took out a stack of library books.   
  "Oh, Honey...but I have to go back..the books are due in two weeks."   I may be blonde but I ain't no dummy. 
  
  

  
  The photo contest this week was anything GREEN....I entered again and you are most welcome to check that out and vote on your favorite.
