20th Anniversary Trip to Seabrook

May 13 was our 20th anniversary! We were originally planning on going to Fiji but the girls' graduation trip plans fell through, so we ended up cancelling that and we are taking them to Costa Rica instead. So for our anniversary celebration, we went to dinner at Alder and Ash and then saw Phantom of the Opera. This was my third time seeing the musical. It is my favorite.

The next day (Thursday) we left on a little get-a-way to Seabrook--just us and the dog. Seabrook is a little town on the coast with a cute little town center and most of the homes are Cape Cod style and have names like "Seas the Day", "Sand in the Toes", "Rain Oar Shine", etc. We actually stayed in a tiny little one-bedroom cottage. It was so cute! We got there Thursday afternoon, settled in, picked up a pizza and salad for dinner, then took a long walk with the dog down to the beach.

On Friday we fixed a nice breakfast in our house then went to the town center and walked around and checked out all the shops. Then I think we took the dog down to the beach again, then we went to the pool/hot tub, and then dinner at the Rising Tide Tavern.

Saturday happened to be the Savor Seabrook Food and Wine Festival, so we went to that and then headed home that afternoon. It was a really fun little trip.

First Snow of 2025

Yesterday it snowed for the first time this year. I love when it snows when I don't have to go anywhere and can just stay home and admire it. It snowed more today, and we took Kona out for a walk in the woods. So pretty.

A Very Belated 2023 Recap

I guess I took a bit of a blogging break. I only blogged three times last year and this will be my first post so far this year. I just haven’t been in the mood but now suddenly I am. We’ll see how long it lasts. Where to even begin? A lot has happened since I last blogged. The girls are about to turn 16, have jobs and are on the verge of getting their driver’s licenses. We took an amazing trip to Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell and Las Vegas last summer. We celebrated our 17th anniversary and are closing in on our 18th. We attended some great concerts, did some fun hikes and have had lots of fun date nights, game nights and girl’s/guy’s nights out. Ok, I guess that’s not all that much but whatever. So, I guess to start off my 2024 blogging, I will recap 2023: I turned 54 in January. For President's Day weekend we went to Crescent Bar and from there Paul and Kayley went skiing at Mission Ridge and...

Show Us Your Life - Dining Rooms

It's time for this week's Show Us Your Life, brought to you by Kelly's Korner , and this week it's dining rooms. We have a very open floorplan, so when you walk in our front door the dining room is to the right and the living room to the left, with the fireplace straight ahead. It's basically all one big room. I bought the table and sideboard at Dania when I bought my first condo back in 2002. It looked great in that condo, but for this house I wish I had black dining room furniture. The table and sideboard are the same color as the trim, and then with the white walls (although we finally got one wall painted) it's just so blah. And like most other rooms in the house, we have yet to hang curtains (not that we're going to hang them in every room, but we have yet to hang any). Looking in from the kitchen. Need curtains! Looking in from the living room. Notice the plastic protector underneath, for when the kids throw their sp...
