So, we live on the edge of the central time zone. All those friends in Texas - don't worry about any time change when you call! We can actually drive about 20 minutes and we're in the next time zone (FYI, that's where we sometimes take Gus to the beach because lots of the beaches around us are not dog friendly). But that means that now with daylight savings time, the sun sets at 5! And then it gets DARK! It's 5:15 right now and I can't see outside anymore! It's so weird. Rob and I are both fairly solar-powered so this is an adjustment for us.
Saturday, I went to do yoga on the beach with a group that meets once a month. It was SO nice! The beach was serene, the weather was PERFECT, and the yoga was fun. The instructor's wife took pictures!
Beach Pose
Me! in the blue tank top
Standing Tree Pose in the water - more difficult than it sounds and a very fun challenge!
Later that afternoon, Rob and I went to the beach on the other side of base (the one in the next time zone) and had a very relaxing time (pictures below). Then, I'm proud to say, Rob seduced me the rest of the evening with wine and a bubble bath. My husband rocks!
Lots of shells
Our beautiful dog
My hand at artsy photography
He's so awesome
The yummy oysters we can get (so good and so fresh) any day here! This is what we ate for dinner.
Yesterday, I went to Wal Mart because I usually plan the house meals on Monday and the commissary is closed on Mondays (I tried to adjust my schedule, but I just can't) and I truly feel that Wal Mart has brainwashed me. When I didn't go to Wal Mart on a regular basis, I could scoff and ridicule it's long lines and unhelpful employees. But, now that it's been my regular store in Wichita Falls, I actually feel a warm fuzzy when I go there! ACK! Who AM I? So, watch out everyone! It will suck you in!
And, very awesome blogger, Tyne, has requested my all-purpose cleaning solution recipe and here it is! With proper credit that I got it from my semi-hippy friend Joy! Much love!
50/50 vinegar and water in a spray bottle (I used my old 409 bottle) Then, put as many drops of your choice of essential oils as makes you happy. I used about 50 drops of lemon (I added at different times until I liked it) and maybe 40 drops of grapefruit (gives it a nice, more interesting clean citrus smell)

I like your artsy photos and I wish I could have done beach yoga with you, miss you roomie!
What a beautiful place you call home! I'm jealous/bitter... I must send you the pictures of our wonderful afternoon we spent surrounded by mesquite trees, dirt, and misquitos. haha You guys look and sound like you are doing great! We miss you here in the Falls!
yoga on the beach looks so peaceful! I know what you mean about walmart. In my head i know i should hate it, but it's the exact same everywhere, which makes it so comforting when you're in a new place!! Sometimes that's the only place I know I won't get lost. :)
It does not look like (according to your scenery) that you are in the holiday frame of mind by any means...but what were you guys thinking about holiday time. My dad and mom have thrown around different things and we talked to your mom about some possibilities so give us or her a call! happy reach the moon (or whatever the yoga poses are called)!
