Back to life back to....
something some thing. Good morning loyal reader!!
Today is Monday September 27th! Lance and I returned from the beach last night about 6:30pm and arrived at the doorstep of Kat and Will's. They have a lovely home in the heart of Ardmore and hosted Sunday "family dinner". It was pretty much awesome.
The beach was everything I wanted it to be. Warm, sunny, sandy, and lapping with cool waves. I was able to spend a good deal of time with my chair in the water reading and reviewing notes. Lance, Pete, and I arrived Friday about 12:01 am, did a quick run out the end of the porch took in the fresh sea air and set up the house for the weekend.
There was an attempt to sleep in a little on Friday morning but the sun eventually convinced us to get out of bed. To the sand and sea with us!
Then a walk to "town" and treasure hunting, and then dinner at Sharky's to enjoy crabmeat stuffed jalapeños, and fish tacos. TASTY!
After some time on the back porch, a game of pandemic (to experience pandemic online click here) the rest of our crew shows up.
Saturday morning we woke to fresh coffee and amazingly wonderful friends. The beach was just as amazing the second day as it was the first. The boys played some kubb the girls lounged around and read (me my text book, ME some Harry Potter). We then had a surprise (kind of) arrival of D-train with arms full of Flaming Amy's, there was much rejoicing. She brought so many chips and so much salsa we were all in an Amy's coma with in about 20 minutes, it truly was an amazing treat.
For dinner we got all dolled up and went out for dinner at Cinellis and attempted to share two of the largest platters of seafood pasta known to man and failed miserably. After that we went home presented Lance with his cake, played some bang and called it a night.
Sunday morning there was an air of sadness as the group realized that today is the day to pack up and head out. But to brighten spirits Lance whipped together (with the help of Griddle Master Peter, and the pancake maniac Josh) some amazing pumpkin pancakes. After an itty bitty amount of cleaning we all found ourselves back out in the sand. More kubb was played, sun was absorbed, and I attempted to make a drip sand castle until the "fema" team of Josh and Lance strolled in to create a drainage system.
The showers had been taken, the house swept, vacuumed, and scrubbed the rain started to fall. We all piled in our vehicles, dropped off the recyclables and did one final stop at Sunset Slush before hitting the road home.
Pretty much a stellar weekend all and all. Today the rain is still falling, I get to back to school, and this evening we are going to relieve Amy of puppy duty.
And Friday we will close on our house!
