Memorial Day and peeling skin

Our three day weekend was wonderful.
Filled with friends, food, and lots of relaxing.
Just the way it should be.
it was good to just be home.
with no appointments, and nothing on the calendar.

Monday we took a little day trip down to Galveston and spent the day reading and sleeping on the beach.

my view all Monday

soul detox on the beach

calm waters.

fresh shrimp for dinner.

the best dinner $20 can buy you.

and then, once we got home, I figured out I had turned as red as a lobster.

and the aloe vera and crying began.

 so Tuesday came, and after a half day at work I called it quits and came home to soak my tired legs.

and arms.

and stomach.

heal, skin, heal.

Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day, friends!

We're headed down to Galveston beach to spend the day reading and relaxing in the sun.

I hope you have a wonderful day of relaxation.

back from oblivion

I'm back!

I had a wonderful blogging break over Christmas and got to spend a lot of time with family.

Eating, eating, and more eating.

and then a little running. 

I hope you enjoyed your Christmas.

I didn't tweet a lot, or blog at all.

but I was invited in to see and worship the Christ Child.

and it was the best of all. 

 please excuse the picture overload that just happened.

It's hard to have a favorite moment of Christmas, but that smile as Sam opened his gift from me was near the top of the list.

Did you have a favorite Christmas moment?

scenes from Thanksgiving

 We traveled to Fort Worth for Thanksgiving.  And it was a blast to get to be there for 4 days. 

I hope your Thanksgiving was a restful and relaxing as ours.
