Day Trip to St George Island

 

Earlier this month we went to St George Island.  Lovely drive and I can't begin to tell you how nice it was to be near the salt water!  Smelled so good...we both needed some Vitamin Sea.  Now I need a trip to the mountains!  LOL  We both miss traveling but Jim just isn't into driving much anymore (perhaps just locally) and neither of us enjoy the journey much unless it's picturesque.  We had lunch at Paddy's Raw Bar, pretty much our kind of place.  We sat outside and had a tiny view of the bay.

Isn't this paper lovely?  Stampin' Up! of course.  The template is from Crafty Al, June 20121.  Every month Alicia shares a new template on her YouTube channel.  Usually I have a set made within a couple days!  I used Vanilla cardstock and the paper is Pattern Party Paper, the sentiment is from Tasteful Touches and ink and card mat is Rococo Rose.  Soft and lovely!

Using up so Old SU Paper I made these using the January 2020 template from Crafty Al

Do you have any plans for the weekend?  Today I'm stripping the bed...as soon as Jim get's up.  He decided to sleep in today.  The doctor told him to try going for two weeks without a nap to reset his sleeping pattern.  Not sure if it's working!

This afternoon I have my last therapy visit.  I think we're doing something for Father's Day but I'm not sure about it.

Making cards plus this and that

 It’s the middle of June and heating up around here. And I expect as summer arrives and lingers it will only get hotter. But we don’t mind. Air conditioning is a marvelous thing to use.  We’re getting out in the world a bit more now that the governor has let us remove our masks. I wonder how long it will last. Was it for the tourist money or because of vaccinations? Time will tell. 

Mostly our outings are grocery or medical related. But occasionally we head to different venues like farmers markets.  Always fun to check out and buy locally.  Went to Barnes and Nobles!  First time in a long while...certainly the first time since we've been in Tallahassee.  It was nice thumbing through our magazines,  drinking coffee.  The simple things are fun, don't ya think?

Last Sunday we had brunch over at Sonsearae and Chris' house.  He cooked us some yummy buttermilk pancakes. Some bacon, warm maple and blueberry compote was served....I had the blueberries!  Afterwards Sonsearae and I went to a farmers market in her neighborhood then went to Costco.  The guys watched movies or napped.
