FALL BREAK AND A BIRTHDAY

This one was on Fall Break....




and so we headed to the beach for a few days. October is a beautiful time there. It was warm enough to sit in the sun during the day but cool enough at night to open the windows. I rode my bike and walked on the beach every morning while #2 slept in. We went out to eat a few times and stayed in one night and cooked and watched TV.  And of course there was some shopping done! (There is an outlet mall forty five minutes away.)


#2 spent some time painting a cooler for a fraternity function. She really did a great job. We have all decided that she needs to paint us a family cooler instead of spending so much time on coolers for other people and giving them away.








When we got home we celebrated Art's birthday!!


(he took off his sling for pictures)

He requested his favorites......

country style steak...



and mashed potatoes made with Boursin Cheese. 



A Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake finished our dinner off.


It was delicious! 




Happy Birthday Honey!!

I'd like to have the $$$ invested in these coolers for boys thru the years...that is something new since I was in college. Boys got smart I guess : )

Happy Birthday to your hubs! So nice to have daughters at home. Mine will be here this weekend and I can't wait. Daughter2 has not been in the house since May although we've seen her in SC and MD a few times.

Have a nice week!
