Sunday morning Mom and Dad enjoyed attending church with us and we had Sunday brunch at "Another Broken Egg Cafe." Very good! Although my huge crabcake benedict made me so full I had difficulty eating the rest of the day (but not too much difficulty). I prepped my Mom for the yoga class she was barely willing to attend with me, but by the end of our prep, she felt more loose and invigorated and thought maybe she might like this yoga stuff after all. Sorry, no photos of Mom doing yoga, brothers! Sunday afternoon was as it should be, relaxing, reading, walking the neighborhood with the dogs, and playing cards after snacking on leftovers.
Monday, poor Rob had to go to work (and I say poor because it was a GORGEOUS day! - 70 and sunny). Mom and I left Dad at the house to go to yoga class (which Mom was much more excited about after our prep) and had a great time!! I'm very excited to one day visit my Mom's future yoga class in College Station (any recommendations out there?)
For lunch, we met Rob at Joey's II (from Rob's most recent hilarious post notoriety) and Joey rocked my parents' world with his stellar fresh oysters. They love raw oysters (they used to live in New Orleans and frequented Acme Oyster Bar) and are now convinced they have tasted the best oysters the world has to offer. Way to go, Joey's II!
After lunch, Mom, Dad, and I drove to Crooked Island Beach where we wallowed away the afternoon in the following way: taking deep breath after loss of breath at beautiful view, setting up sunbrella and chairs, taking a dip in the crystal clear water, realizing flies love wet skin and that they bite, taking a nice long walk to continue enjoying the beach while avoiding the flies, and watching the F-15s and F-22 fly overhead - a beautiful combination of heroic jet noise juxtaposed with slow rolling ocean waves. It was a most relaxing afternoon.
Our evening meal consisted of grilled fish (from our catch) with peach salsa, sauteed julienne veggies, fruit salad, and blueberry cobbler. I'm loving the fresh produce!
We had a great time with the Howard parents! Thanks, Mom and Dad!!!
This morning the house was once again quiet, save for my talking to Lucy and Gus. The weather once again GORGEOUS, I read Rick Steve's Eastern Europe outside in the cool morning sun while drinking coffee and thinking what a wonderful life I have. When it got a little warmer, I went inside and baked muffins with my blueberries, wrote in the blog to you, and went to yoga class toting my fresh-baked organic muffins to share. I'll leave you with some pics of our beach day and a video of soothing beach sounds, but don't say I didn't warn you about the green monster of envy.
Can you find the two F-15s?
