Rainy Days

Dinner Out at Fibber McGees 

According to the year round residents of Sunset Beach, this has been an unusually cold, rainy and gray winter. We've had quite a few days that were not beach weather! 

We've so enjoyed watching movies together for the first time in a long time, starting Season 1 of Mad Men, listening to/reading books, doing a puzzle, splurging on People magazine (me), writing snail mail, blogging, and making a couple of outings to a local artist's shop, where we each treated ourselves to jewelry. 

We also a discovered a pub (recommended by a friend's relatives) that is only two minutes from us and serves food that is definitely not 'pub fare'. We've been able to go out for dinner twice--we can be there and back in an hour which is perfect for me. 

500 Piece Puzzle: Big Accomplishment!

The development has a little library filled with books and puzzles. I love puzzles, but it has been years since I could sit up long enough to work on one. Above is my big accomplishment! I was over the moon about being able to complete this puzzle.

I Had to Read People While on Vacation

Buying a People magazine was also essential while here. :)

I literally forgot what it meant to be on vacation until this trip. It's a good feeling and I'm so thankful we've gotten to enjoy all of the things that vacation is about--slowing down, unplugging, no to do lists, relaxing, a change of scenery, and fully being together. I'm going to miss our quiet, rainy afternoons together.

Blessings,
