Sunday, November 15, 2015

Tonight's picture was taken in September of 2005. I just found this photo on our Shutterfly online account. I totally forgot that we took Mattie peach picking. But after I saw this photo, I do remember that we came home with a ton of peaches. I made all sorts of things, including jam. 
Mattie loved the whole experience and thought it was fabulous to be able to pick a real fruit off the tree and eat it. He was our little Farmer Brown. 


Quote of the day: There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well.The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and everyday confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of either merit or sense. ~ Jane Austen

This was the view of the Gulf of Mexico from our hotel room. We started the day slowly, returning emails and getting fresh breezes from our room's balcony. It was a delightful morning. 

We were able to have breakfast outside at the hotel and that was equally delightful. Near the restaurant's patio was this wonderful fountain filled with water lilies, koi, ducks, and even a frog.

When I approached the fountain, this duck started quacking at me! She was making a racket until I purchased fish food for her and her buddy!

The water lilies in the fountain. It was a real Monet moment.

We are now back in DC safely! Seems like we just left. When we got home tonight, we transported 600 pounds of candy to the car in order for me to make two more deliveries tomorrow.... Hospital for Sick Children and the DC Ronald McDonald house!
