June 5 - Enjoying Our First Day Off

Bridge over to Tybee Island

Thought I would get to sleep in today but really just didn’t feel like it. Made our Sunday breakfast: Blueberry buckwheat pancakes, turkey bacon and melon for me, Bill has toast and eggs with his. Then we watched the tail end of a movie and headed out for a 4 mile bike ride. I put a load of wash in while we rode. We stopped the VC to check our schedule for next week. We’re on 8:30 – 5:30 again all week. We did some video today when we rode and some photos. Once we got back Bill did the dishes and straightened up some and I sat out under the awning and read while Xena caught some rays.

After lunch and showers we went to “town” to pick up my Europe photos from Walgreens and a Sunday paper. We also stopped at Dollar Tree for a couple of things and spent about 2 hours at McDonald’s to use the WIFI. Didn’t get close to caught up but managed to upload some photos to Picasa and posted 2 blogs.

We didn’t get back til after 6 so it was time to start dinner. I made chicken with a basil, onion, thyme balsamic sauce, whole wheat cousous with almonds and basil and the leftover veggies from a couple of nights ago. It gave me a chance to use some of my herbs. I have dried some catnip and am drying some basil now. We took Xena for a long walk after dinner and I called Kerry to catch up on things. Chuck and MJ came over to bring their uniform shirts and keys for us to return for them. They are leaving around 8:30 tomorrow. MJ and I will keep in touch via email and they plan to winter in Florida Jan, Feb and March next year so we will definitely get together.

Bill cleaned up the kitchen, we gave Xena her shot and time to journal and watch TV.
