There are times in
life when, between all the hustle and bustle, it’s nice to sneak in a few
seconds of peace and quiet. Thankfully
there were a few of these moments this past weekend.
Friday, along with
celebrating Valentine’s Day, Michael and I attended my friend Marie’s wedding.
The décor was red and white, her dress was beautiful, and another childhood
friend of mine, Lisa, served as her matron of honor. It was a sweet ceremony and I’m glad we were
able to attend. This morning Marie
posted that they were on their way to Jamaica for their honeymoon. Looking outside at this abundant rain, their
excitement to be traveling to a warm spot is understandably enviable.
After getting my
oil changed, Saturday found my man and me venturing to the beach to enjoy a
weekend away. We played a little at the
casino before checking into our hotel and relaxing. We then hit one of our favorite seafood
places – Alec’s – for dinner. Following
dinner we visited the Shark Gift Shop next door to our hotel, where I picked up
an Ocean Shores frame. Returning to our
hotel, we had the All Star games on while we played three mean games of
Yahtzee. It had been a long time since
I’d played Yahtzee, which used to be the high point when I was a child, playing
the game at my grandparent’s beach cabin.
Thankfully, my skill remained intact because I beat the pants off
Michael on all three games!

| Happy 19th Sam!!! |
Sunday found us
sleeping in then returning to the casino.
That afternoon we visited our first Irish restaurant – Galloway
Bay. Michael enjoyed a large piece of
fish while I couldn't resist ordering Shepherd’s Pie. Our dinner was served
with Soda Bread….not to Michael’s liking (too sweet) but to die for in my
book. That night we watched the All Star
game while Michael gave me my just deserves by beating me at three games of
Yahtzee. We toyed with the idea of one
final tiebreaker game but this gal was just too tired to continue.
Monday after the
hotel breakfast we drove home, stopping at Walmart to pick up a cake and card
for Sam, who celebrated both his 19th birthday and President’s Day
all on the same day. Arriving home we
were beat! After a short nap, Michael
packed up and returned to his place.
Following a pizza dinner, we celebrated Sam’s birthday with cake then I
promptly went to bed!
Another great weekend filled with celebrations, love, and relaxation!!!
