Saturday morning sunrise. Peace. A donut-off between Drip N' Scoop and Dot's Pastry Shop. And my brother on a bike for the first time in 10 years.
Beach day on Saturday included lots of sand castles and watching Lola being an animal in the water, an all family snooze, MFD getting pooped on by a seagull, froyo, some reading, and a classic car show.
Sunday night we did family pics, trolled the boards, and ate at the Promenade. I swear to god it was more crowded on Saturday night than it was most nights this summer. And surprise! We came home to Geege now having the same shitting virus Gus had.
Sunday I presided over a very serious, uninterrupted (yeah right, not with this crowd) meeting about our upcoming trip to Ireland, then sat out with the dogs. We took a walk to the playground with Geege willingly in the stroller. Victory! Then Debbie and I did some shopping at our favorite Blue Eden and had a treat on the way home...then another treat with the birthday cake Carol got for her and MFD.
Some days I have the words and some days I don't. Good thing this still stands. 15 years feels the same as one year. I think it always will.
First full week of work in two weeks. At least I have Show Us Your Books tomorrow to help me through. See you there!
It looks like a great weekend and a very somber reminder of what happened 15 years ago.

Ahhh a trip to ireland - we are hoping to do that next year so I can't wait to hear what you have planned!! So glad you had another great weekend at the shore with your family! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteLove the gate and the beach pictures.
ReplyDeleteHeal all from 9-11.
Love. Your. Momma.
Poor Geege. That sucks!! Poor MFD. Getting bird pooped on is no good. I'm always amazed when that happens. This Irelamd meeting sounds intense. I'm picturing you as quite the stern taskmaster.
ReplyDeleteThat peanut butter pie looks soo good! Glad you enjoyed your weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteLove all of the beach photos--you make me miss it so much! I bet its even nicer now that all of the riff raff (like myself) are gone :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun weekend at the beach! I love going to the beach in the off-season. It's so enjoyable when it has less people. A trip to Ireland sound like so much fun.
ReplyDeleteIt blows my mind there's a new generation that is coming up that really doesn't KNOW about 9/11 ... it still sticks so fresh in my mind.
ReplyDeleteLOL at very serious, uninterrupted meeting! I'm pretty sure those don't exist anywhere. Which donut won?
ReplyDeleteI LOL'd at MFD being pooped on by a seagull! Those donuts look amazing and so does that pie! And loving that pic of all 3 doggies - too cute <3
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun trip to the shore, minus traffic! My SIL got pooped on when we were at the beach for the 4th. Damn birds are good for nothing. The picture of Gus sitting on Mae is the best thing ever. And I really need that peanut butter pie please!!!!
ReplyDeleteLots of poop this weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat pie looks delicious and that dog picture is seriously amazing. That's so stinking hilarious! Dogs are such comedians!
ReplyDeleteYour weekend sounds relaxing and delicious and hilarious. End-of-summer perfection!
I laughed so hard at that picture of your dogs in the car!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun weekend with the fam! I had high hopes of enjoying one of the last "beach" weekends on Saturday but was foiled by a human virus (not me- Blue). That pic of Mae in the stroller is one of my favorites all summer. So Geege was ok strolling even with the virus?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a lovely weekend! I am so jealous of the weekend at the beach. No beaches here so I live vicariously through your posts.
ReplyDeleteI am super wishing I had a slice of that peanut butter pie right now...or the donuts....or froyo....hmm might be time for lunch!
I am glad that they are riding in the stroller!
I laughed out loud at MFD getting pooped on. That peanut butter pie looks amazing. That used to be one of the only kids of pie I would eat as a kid. That & French silk.
ReplyDeleteTHAT BOOK! isn't it amazing!?
ReplyDeleteThe beach . . . living the dream girl! Sounds like a fabulous weekend!
ReplyDeleteWell your Mr was just on a roll this weekend with funny happenings! Other than the dang traffic, sounds like a lovely time at the shore!
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the pic of MFD getting pooped on, at first I thought he was busting some dance moves. ha!
ReplyDeleteFamily time is the best! Those sunrise pictures are beautiful as usual! Enjoy those open windows! I was actually chilly when I woke up this morning. Hallelujah!
ReplyDeleteI don't usually like donuts, but those look good. What do you put in your quesadillas?
ReplyDeleteI love avocado toasts! And Ireland...what a great meeting over which to preside. And no worries for seagull poop, MFD...it brings good luck, doesn't it? Sláinte!
ReplyDeleteI actually LOLd at the picture of the dogs in the car- that's great! Sounds like a solid weekend, you make me long for beach life!!
ReplyDeleteThey say bird poop is good luck.. hope it comes your way!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear about the Ireland trip planning!
ReplyDeletelol @ MFD getting pooped on by a seagull. love the matching tops in family photos! the dogs in the car is the funniest picture ever. poor Geege :( hope he is okay and it doesn't cost you as much...
ReplyDelete15 years feels the same as 1 year. so true.
