Do you ever dream of those perfect Sunday afternoons where the weather is beautiful and you are able to go for a drive and enjoy it? Today was one of those days for us. Sundays for us usually mean coming home from church and kicking back and sleeping most of the afternoon away. The weather was beautiful today and who knows how long it is going to last. We decided to head to the beach.

I’ve lived here most of my life and I have never seen the lake at the beach. We were talking about it yesterday while we were sitting outside knitting during the downtown Art Walk. (totally forgot to take pictures).

Wow, construction is just awful driving in to Ocean Shores. I feel for my friend who has to drive it every day! We drove up and down all the winding roads around the lake and really enjoyed ourselves. Then instead of driving through the construction we drove on the beach instead.

We saw lots of people riding horses. You can rent them right at the beach approach.

Then we headed up the highway and found Seabrook, a whole community built in 2004. Oh my gosh, I want to live there for awhile.

This is the cute little cafe right at the entrance.

Right outside the little market was this bike resting there. I saw a place that rented them and they were all such great colors.

We had to stop and get some ice cream.

I forgot to take pictures deeper in the community. The houses are so cute and have such cute names. I’d love to look into renting one. I’d like to go with my family and I’d like to go with Kenny and I’d like to go with my knitting friends. We had considered doing a knitting retreat last year and found some pretty reasonable places when you split the price. Loved it all!

Last week, we were given tickets to the Crosby Stills and Nash concert at the Puyallup fair. Kenny and I were able to go and spend the day together, it was so much fun.

The only time I remembered to get out my camera was when the concert was starting.

It was outdoors and the weather was so nice. Most of the people there were in our age group and it was just plain fun. I tend to not really enjoy concerts when they get too loud and I don’t love dredging up memories from the harder part of our past, but this was a good memory. (did I ever mention here that Kenny used to be in a rock band and we used to travel with the band when we first got married???)

I had just as much fun watching the people around us as the concert itself. The guy behind us was singing, the fellow next to us told him to shut up, he got mad. Kenny said it was so loud he could barely hear the band. Funny how it depends on where you sit because I barely heard him. Then the girl in front of him danced in her seat the whole time so he saw the concert through her flailing arms….lol In front of me was a fellow who spent most of his time on his cell phone. The girl he was with did not seem thrilled, she had one ear plugged. Keep in mind, the tickets were $46…I didn’t quite get it, kind of an expensive phone call or three.

(no, we didn’t spend that much, the tickets belonged to someone else who could not go and we got them through a friend as a gift). Amazing.

I have been knitting but I forgot to take a picture of my new venture, hopefully tomorrow or soon. I got Cat Bordhi’s new book, “Personal Footprints for Insouciant Sock Knitters”…. love it, love it, love it. Once again, she shows herself to be a genius! I took the class in July but anyone who had a class was asked to keep it under wraps until the book came out. Look into it, it’s worth it!

Tomorrow we start therapy again, we’ve had break since July. As we get into more of a routine again, I’m hoping I get better at blogging again. Today I was really thinking about something I wanted to blog about and now I can’t even remember where I was when I was thinking it and can’t remember what I was thinking about.

Be back soon!
