When you are living a suburban life, it’s not that challenging to find yourself tucked in bed on a Saturday night at 10pm. And by 10pm, I really mean 9pm. As a result, it is also not hard to get up early on a Sunday and walk the beach before most people have peeled themselves…
I love sending things in the mail… and I love getting them. So naturally on a vacation I love the idea of postcards, but I quite often forget to mail them. I go through all the effort (being a bit dramatic) to buy the cards, then I forget to get the stamps. Or sometimes, I…
taken on 8/30/2011 in the morning after the storm It’s been awhile no? Yes, it has been. Let me fill you in. Late last week the buzz started that this lady Irene was coming to town and she was planning on causing a ruckus. Any by Irene, I mean a hurricane. Long long long story…

I’m thankful for the beach. This isn’t a breaking news alert for sure. But, I’m really thankful for quiet beach time. Last year I started getting up earlier to walk on the beach in the morning with a cup of coffee. Now, it is one of my favorite times to be there. Yes, an afternoon…
I hope I haven’t raised the bar with that title… and you think I’m talking about rolling tires through a field or something. I’m pretty much just referring to ice cream. Oh Saturday, I was hanging out with Little Brother at the house. An easy day of reading on the porch / hammock / yard…
