I Like Thursday: Work Vacation

I went to the Cape for a few days.  So much fun.  I came down on Friday afternoon before the rush and stayed until Wednesday.  Even though I worked most of the weekdays, it gave me the mornings and evenings to spend with family.  I even briefly plopped myself and the laptop in the backyard. So relaxing!  I will need to try this again!

I like that my guinea pigs are good travelers.  Wedgwood and Mabel came with me (since I wanted to keep an eye on Wedgwood).  I have to pack more for them than I do myself, but once they were set up, they made themselves instantly at home.

I was amazed to see town water (and a fire hydrant) down to the very end of Campground Road.  It's an odd shot to have the fire hydrant so close to the beach.

I love walking the beach.  I didn't get to do enough of it, but even just being close enough to smell the air and hear the people and the waves was wonderful.

I like misty mornings, which are typical for humid summer days on the Cape.

I like that I unexpectedly ran into an old friend.  Spent some of Saturday afternoon with her and her husband on their boat, cruising around Orleans Cove.  It's so rare when we get together; she's one of those friends that just feels like home whenever we meet up.  I'm so glad this happened.

Spider crab!  Ew.

I really like the chunk of fresh striper she gave me.  Got my aunt to cook us dinner by bringing that over.  It was delicious.  Thank you so much!






I like little cheater glasses from Job Lot.  I keep a pair in my purse.  They were a life saver when I realized I forgot my regular readers I need to stitch binding.  (Actually a lot of likes in that photo, including tea, those little scissors and the nifty wonder clips.)

I am so very excited that the Homebase quilt is done, labeled and delivered.  My cousin and his wife were down this weekend (more unexpected people I ran into).  They were dying to see the quilt, so I brought it over with the partial binding.  Everyone loves it (and I'll show it off once I get time to write the blog post).  They'll get to bring it home next weekend - well, if my aunt (who has it now) doesn't abscond with it first.

There was even more to like, but this is all I have time to write about.  There is lots to like over at Not Afraid of Color's I Like Thursday.  Thanks for stopping by!
