Okay....so you say you are wondering if I've gotten the house back to rights since Jessi has gone back home? The short answer is NO! I decided today was a relaxation day for ME. After a quick morning run to the supermarket and the feeding of my outdoor flowers, I went with 3 of my pals to one of the area bay beaches (not the same one that we visited with Jessi on Wednesday...but a beach on the same bay...Indian River Bay, to be exact). Anyway....we were there from about 10:30 until 3...intending to read and just relax. We did fine on the relaxation part and talked a lot....but got no reading done. (That's fine...lots of beach days left to do that this summer.) We each brought our lunch with us. This beach has some tall pine trees which are nice when you want to get out of the direct sun. I'll put a few photos here to show you. Also.....I got TWO packages in the mail when I got home from the beach......WOO-HOO......I was happy!!! One was from Betsy (click
here for her blog). She made me the greatest kitchen towel (see photo below). I've been admiring the towels she has made for quite awhile now....and she decided to send me one of my own.....THANKS, Betsy!!! The second package was the apron I won at Rhonda's blog (click
here for her blog...she does a monthly giveaway but only for her followers, so go be a follower there....even if it will cut down on MY chances of winning each month). There is a picture of the apron below. It is so well made...lined and everything....wonderful job, Rhonda. I'll have to get another picture when I am wearing it! Speaking of pictures, Blogger is driving me NUTS as it tries to rotate pictures quite often when I'm putting them in a post.......and they show up SIDEWAYS and I have to work and work (and sometimes make them smaller) in order to get them appear the right way.....anyone else have that happen to them???

Neither Ruth nor Pat knew I was taking their pictures....

The towel Betsy made for me.....I love it!!! Look at that WONDERFUL design!
The apron made by Rhonda....what a fun apron!!!

Cute apron and towel. I love the logo on the front of the apron.
That beach relaxing looks really good. It certainly beats cleaning.
Great gifties and the beach looks so warm and inviting!! I'd like to go there for lunch and you can come and meet me at Bittersweet for lunch! LOL!
Love the apron and glad you are back on a regular basis, I just know you had an awesome time with your granddaughter.
What a great, relaxing day with friends... 8-)
Wonderful towel and apron! 8-)
Ahhh...the beach. I'm living vicariously through you. Good for you for taking a day to relax and enjoy being outside with your friends!
How are your ribs feeling? All better, I hope!
I love your gifts. Lucky you!
I miss living close to the beach.
My friends and I used to do the same thing: talk, eat, look at magazines. It was fun!
You won some pretty things!
Betsy is just a sweetheart all the way around. I love packages too...doesn't it just make a day a bit brighter?
Pat what great gifties and I love ya's beach. We live in piney east Texas, but not any on our beach. We have to go aways to get to a pretty beach. Have a great weekend.
Keep Stitchen'

Oh, I love the goodies you got! The apron is cute - and the hand towel is lovely...
You're doing pretty good!!!
The beach photos are so nice - it's nice to see lovely blue...
Jessie is just to cute and the beach love it...but the best part is the friends indeed.....love U
I love the idea for your blocks,every fabric beginning with the same letter. I just saw a quilt like that in an Aussie magazine.
Lucky you getting those terrific gifts, now you have to cook, right?!
That towel is just wonderful! Lucky you to win it.
Enjoyed your beach photos, too. I haven't been to the beach this year, as usually I go to Florida to visit family and enjoy the beaches there. I haven't been any local (Maryland/Delaware) in many years. I especially like beaches in the off season - no crowds.
About photos on Blogger. I always have trouble with mine. No matter where I put them when I'm writing the blog, they are moved when I post the blog. Very frustrating! This is why I have so much empty space on some of my blog entries. If you ever solve the problem, please tell me how you did it!
