Easter Weekend

We're at the beach this weekend - lovely weather today. The kids were all going to be gone when we decided we might as well not stay home. Of course, kids being kids, that changed. Several days before the weekend, Kat called and said she would be home to do the invitations for Katie's wedding. When I said we would cancel our plans and stay home, she said "actually, it would really be easier if you guys - and the dog, weren't here". OK, we can take a hint, and I'm not offended. We totally understand, and just resumed our plans for the beach. Kat did get home Friday night, so we were able to see her before we left for the beach on Saturday morning. That was nice. She was pretty excited to see Tucker (her cat), and talked about how soon she would be able to take him back to Seattle to whatever apartment she would rent. I was sad - I LOVE that cat.

We had a fabulous dinner tonight. The freshest halibut imaginable - on the grill, delicious flakey cheese sticks, marinated artichokes I cooked the other night, carrots - cooked on the grill, and potatoes - cooked on the grill. Along with those delicious things, we had a salad filled with the most wonderful things - lettuce, onion, grape tomatoes, blue cheese, chopped walnuts -fabulous. Of course we had wine with our dinner - a nice chardonnay to compliment all of the flavors in the dinner. Dessert - two wondrful homemade cookies - one ginger/molasses, and the other, oatmeal/raisin. I am so full, but happy about every single bite I ate.

More tomorrow, but now, I'm tired and think it's time to call it a night. Good night.
