Day at the Beach

Just in case you are curious, we have a to do list as long as my left arm.  Or maybe I should say Matt's left arm since he thinks I have little t-rex arms.  Between regular house projects and preparation for Lima we are not at a loss for busy work.    Instead we blew it all off and spent a great day relaxing (went out to brunch, visited with friends, watched some home improvement shows) and topped it off with a visit to the beach for the clam tide and Matt made fresh clam fritters for dinner.

Since it was a nice day and the tide was during the day we decided to take the dogs so they could burn off some energy running around.  Apparently both of them had more energy than they knew what to do with, which led to two lame dogs Saturday night.  Jacks sprained (we think, it doesn't look broken) his front right ankle and Europa's rear end ceased to work.  Matt had to carry both of them to bed since they couldn't move...   As of this morning Europa seems back to normal, more or less, but poor Jacks is still in a lot of pain.  None the less, I think they had fun chasing the waves and birds while it lasted.

Clam digging - the sun was out!

Mini Winni

I now understand where the statement "big as a house" comes from.  It is currently how I feel, big and as it stands I am currently housing another person. According to Matt I am a Mini Winni - a not too big, not too small mobile home.  Yep, he knows how to make a girl feel good about themselves :)  Two more weeks...
