This is spring break at the university, but alas, Jonathan and I still had to work. So we decided to take a one day spring break. It was glorious and I would like to share it with you.

We woke up late, actually that's kind-of a lie. Jonathan got up at like 7 I think to start making some oven-dried tomatoes. I woke up then too, but forced myself to lay in the bed till 9 :)

Then we made pancakes and watched a pilot for a new show called Kings. Heard of it? It's really cool; it's the story of David in modern times. Very clever; the producers really did their homework.

Then we went to play tennis...and while we've done this a few times already this week...gradually becoming better and better....it's like we reverted to beginners, we were aweful. There were some old people in the court beside us (probably 70's) who were kicking our butts :) But it was fun.

Then we came home and took a shower and got our picnic ready. We had delicious sandwiches on Jonathan's homemade honey-oat bread (oh so yummy) with his fantastic sundried
tom-ah-toes...it was glorious!

We went to the beach for our picnic, with our books for reading. It was quite windy and cool at the actual beach (and I had decided to be daring and wear shorts in the 60 degree weather :), but Jonathan and I aren't big beach people anyway, so instead we enjoyed ourselves at a beautiful little park close to the beach. We layed on a blanket in the soft spring sun (have you ever noticed that the sun feels soft in the spring?) had our picnic, took a nap, read our books (I finished my Bill Bryson Notes from a Small Island...hilarious.

Then we went to the public library, got some more books, and went home to plan our garden.

Absolutely wonderful.

  3. I love Bill Bryson! He's so awesome! I'm glad you had such a perfect day. Those are the days that make you burst with thankfulness inside for all your blessings. And those days are the days that make me fall in love with my husband all over again. Wonderful!
