Have a Day That Matters!!!

The other day the hubs and I went out for breakfast.
I was secretly trying to recreate the blueberry pancake breakfast I had in Stonington.
The pancakes were good - but nothing close to the one we had at Noah's.
* sigh *

Afterward, I wanted to go to the beach.
I start my "sneaky" way of talking the hubs in to it.
It just finished raining, it's chilly, a week day...
essentially not a beach day = a beach day for us and sea glass hunting.
He goes for it and we head that way...the beaches are empty,
no life guards, no sun bathers, you don't have to pay,
the beaches are deserted.

We have work at home to do but we have decided to
"have a day that matters"
- and we did -





The hubs found 4 pieces of sea glass...nada for me.
One of his pieces was light purple, so that was a score.

There wasn't much debris/stones/shells at the break line,
we don't usually find much glass when it's like that.

But it was a beautiful day, a day that mattered!

Those pictures are frame-worthy. And, what a fun time for the two of you. Sorry you didn't find any glass. I'd hope hubby would let you have that nice pretty lavender one.

Ohhh wow yes!!!! What a day!!! And yes, it mattered.

There are always "things" which need doing. That's life.

So wise, to set them aside, now and then, and "Take Joy!"

Full Strawberry Moon hugs!

Your pictures show how very beautiful it was Debbie. I'm with you, those chores around the house will always be there. The memories are priceless :)

Days like that are precious indeed. I'm glad you chose to do this instead of working. You,no doubt, made wonderful memories.

For you and for your readers!

I agree, sometimes you just have to leave behind what needs to be done and just have a day out having fun together!
Wow the waves were really big that day, I love hearing the sound of the waves crashing onto the beach.
Bonus that your hubby found the sea glass with all of that, and purple too, quite the score there :)

LeAnn said...

You do create days that matter. I liked the photos of the sea dashing against the rock; great shots. Sorry, there wasn't as much sea glass. I do know you will have other sweet days of doing this one. Hugs~

Unknown said...

I actually came back in to look again at "The Vincas Are In!", because you have such a beautiful, take-notice, outdoor landscaping scene going on ... but the title of this drew me in - oh my gosh! stunning, just stunning!!! Food for the weary soul that I am ... thank you!!!
