Today was a perfect day.
The girls and I visited with my parents this morning. My dad showed us his tomato plants, my mom finished a shawl, and the girls hung out with them for lunch so I could join one of my very favorite people for a strawberry salad before walking to an amazing spice store where I purchased three types of tea and some crystallized ginger. (I’m still kicking myself a bit for not purchasing the raspberry jalapeño jelly or the apple butter barbecue sauce.)
After returning to my current home from my childhood home I practiced yoga, listened to William Hurt reading The Sun Also Rises, and watched Jeopardy before our family volunteered with friends at a food pantry.
Spring break has been slow but amazing. I hope your Thursday was just as good. ‘ ‘ ‘text/javascript’>
I used to watch the Waltons too! This has been a long sad day. Many sweet people have departed this life today and they will all be missed and loved.
Not “but.” Slow AND amazing. Here’s to recharging the batteries. xxx
I’m thinking I know both the restaurant and the friend you were meeting, and I must say I’m jealous. However, I’m looking forward to getting together with you and this probable friend when we come to the Lou in September!
I’m a big fan of underscheduling school vacation breaks. Relaxing? You’re doing it right!
I have a pear salad that uses crystallized ginger in the dressing. Email me if you’d like it. It’s pretty awesome.
I’ve been detached from work for the first time in a long time. It feels like I’m slowly coming back into focus.
