More Beach Fun

Stealing time. I was able to steal a good hour of some R&R on the beach this weekend! Always a bonus. I am a week down with pictures having lent my camera to someone who has in turn misplaced it. It'll be interesting to see how it my dynamic works itself out.

It'll be a short week, followed by some Canadian fun hiking and fishing!

Even More Texture

I spent a few serene hours on the beach this Saturday before Scavenger Hunt madness.

I was drawn to the clear water, beige sand and vibrant green pilings ... beautiful.

I'll spare you my usual great quiet beach rant ... but you must agree ... it looks amazing.

Perfect Week

Not only did I get Zucchini Flowers special ordered, but I dined with Angelique.

Sitting on the sidewalk on a cool summer evening, fab fresh food, wonderful wine and great conversation was the recipe for a great evening.

As busy as we all consider life, this is nothing ... relish in it while you still can.

Attention to detail

We all know I love texture. I was drawn to this candle for it's attention to detail.

I'm usually a fan of simple clear glass, but you know what ... over the top tackiness is good every now and again (just not on my table!).

Fab Junk

While this table appears to be ready for the junk pile ... I adore it and actually paid a whole $8 for it.

I like the simply design and attention to detail. The chipping paint can stay. This table was a wedding present from a groom to his bride. Quite touching ... a present from the heart during hard times. The bride kept it by her bedside until she passed.

Destined for a trash bin, I swooped in and gave the table a second chance in life.

Back to basics ... it's where I am.

Little Happiness

I've taken to fresh flowers recently. I feel like they help brighten things up a bit! How can you not love these petite little pink guys?

The power of nature ... bringing the outdoors in.

Christmas Bonus in June

Ok, so I'm a little slow. I FINALLY used my gift card from the holidays. It's always nice to treat oneself to a nice dinner (especially for free).

I was tempted to hold off and celebrate my Christmas in July, but June is much more original.

Texture

I really need to go get myself a new battery! I've only been able to longingly gaze at my records from across the room.

How easily a 9V battery can fall off of ones shopping list!

The Call to Duty

Thank you to Nickelodeon for a fun filled HOT Saturday. Slime Across America made it's Philadelphia stop and Penns Landing was briefly transformed into a small childhood playland.

Hmmm ... the word slime evokes thoughts of the river by which the festivities were held.

Outside the Box

I applaud my little sister for thinking way outside the box. She wanted to leave me a magnetic poetry message last time she visited ... much to her dismay sister was not one of the words in my stock pile.

After some serious creative thinking ... she stacked some words and letters 3 magnets deep to find the proper combination.

We can only hope to hold onto this ingenuity as we become rational thinking adults. I don't know ... I think I may have met my match.

Pa pa pa PINK

I'm not even sure I can take myself serious with this fishing gear! The reel actually lights up when spun ... I'll be my own little disco while night fishing. I agree ... very odd indeed.

I can't wait to see how many Bass I can catch with this thing. Who knows maybe I can beat my 27" Pike.

Phanatic

It's a crappy picture, but it was interesting to discover that the Phanatic takes his 4 wheeler tot he upper deck. The sad this is I was a few seconds off ... there are the shadows of 4 children about to run down the ramp after him.
