Sunshine and Peach Pie

I’m at the beach with my family. I slept for 10 hours last night and it was that really hard, really restful kind of sleep. I am ready to enjoy my Saturday relaxing but here is a quick look at Friday first.

Travel was so easy. All of my flights were not just on time but early, believe it or not. I had a connection in Atlanta but it was super quick. I was here by 11 a.m. and eating lunch with my dad by noon. I scoped out the leftovers in the fridge and had barbecue chicken, roasted cauliflower and half of a sliced avocado.

I spent the next four hours on the beach napping, reading and chatting with my parents.

I went for a quick but hot and humid three-mile run before dinner. I came back drenched after just 30 minutes of running. I cooled off with a breeze and beautiful evening on the porch when I returned.

Dinner last night was a shrimp boil with salad, potatoes and sourdough bread. Yum!

And dessert was homemade peach pie with ice cream. A very good day!

Sunday Perfection

Here's what Sunday at my grandmother's house looks like... Sleep until 9 a.m. Stumble (literally) out of bed and downstairs to make coffee and maple oatmeal scones for breakfast. Thanks to my sleep-induced stupor and an incorrect recipe, scones turn out a huge failure. (Look how flat the first batch…
