Take your time Tuesday Aug 13 Beach Chat

  • Let's face it, we all seem to be rushing these days. Sometimes the stress of trying to do too much can be overwhelming. So today take a moment, take a breath and enjoy whatever suits your fancy It is not uncommon at work for tourists to ask to take a photo with you. Apparently I am a tourist attraction followed by the paparazzi As much as I find it intrusive I usually comply. Yesterday a young woman asked if we would take a picture with her baby. The baby was less than a year old sporting a NY Yankee hat (how could I resist) As she thanked us, the baby blew me a kiss goodbye. You guessed it; the highlight of my day

    May your day be full of enjoyable moments.
  • Jennifer, thanks for starting us up with such a nice reminder. I needed that yesterday which was a horrible day spent doing financial predictions for the Mill.

    I'm glad I ploughed through it though because my crazy Montreal cousin Cathy and her daughter are coming for tea this afternoon. Cathy is very, very funny and I usually have sore stomach muscles from laughing after she leaves. She had a dessert catering business at one point and I'm hoping to get some dessert ideas for the Mill cafe.

    I'll definitely take my time this Tuesday and enjoy the day.
  • Ooooh, Ruth, do you need bar cookie recipes? I have a few I use that are yummmmeee! Hope the financials came out okay.

    Awwww, Jekel, what a sweet story! I guess the short walk I had this AM was my relaxing time. I couldn't sleep (and told myself I wouldn't run on my 9-7 work days) so I figured might as well do something. It is a misty morning and all of nature was quite noisy!

    Darned it, I was out of work 1 1/2 hours late yesterday again, it's getting old!! (only 14 teeth from this dog....they really need to start brushing! ) Today doesn't look too bad, hopefully it will stay that way. We are going camping this weekend (ahhhhhh) and I am so looking forward to it. Miss Emma is going to a friend's for a sleepover!

    Enjoy the day!
  • Good morning,

    Today is DD2 first day of school so I am not leaving for work until she leaves, she is up and at it, I can tell she is excited about first day. Last night we dropped off supplies at the Open House.

    Jekel that is a sweet story

    Ruth enjoy your visit with your cousin

    Twynn enjoy your quiet time this morning.

    Alright going to see if she needs any help. Have a wonderful day!
  • Good Morning

    Sweet story, Jennifer! Thanks for sharing and for getting us started this morning!

    I guess my time to myself was in bed....I resisted my first wake up at 1 then didn't wake back up until Kirk called at 5. Now I'm on the go...I'm half dressed and still need my smoothie AND 2nd cup of coffee. I will sit outside and enjoy it while I watch the hummingbirds.

    Have a great day everyone!
  • fly by this morning. I'm off to an all day meeting I really don't want to go to. It won't be bad, just really, really boring with a lot of people I'm not interested in spending the day with. I'm chatted out after the wedding. Oh well, had a nice hike yesterday afternoon and looking forward to a run to the coast and a whale watch tomorrow and meeting our own Cottage on Thursday. Time to get on the road
  • Morning ladies.

    Jennifer, loved your story.
    Ruth, have a nice visit.
    Pearlrose, hope DD has a wonderful 1st day of school.
    Tammy, Debbie and Cyndi- hope your work day is smooth.

    Not sure what is on the agenda today for me. I was hoping to do some yardwork this morning but it is currently raining AGAIN. We must be setting records this year, but at least I don't have to worry about watering the garden.
    If we get a break between showers I need to go out and pick some veggies.
    I should also swing by the grocery store that is having the special on chicken and bag up some Dump Chicken for the freezer.

    Have a lovely day, chickies!
  • Hi!
    Hi everyone,

    Wow, do I have a lot to do before the movers come bright and early tomorrow morning! I think that everything will work out though. Then in the late afternoon/early evening, I am going to get my hair done. It will be nice for me to relax.

    I am tired, I think I will go put my feet up.

    Have a nice day everyone.

    Amy
