our week is winding down.

the sun has already set. i can still see the ocean...but just the white foam when the waves crash. i'll be going downstairs in a minute to cook fresh veggies from elmer's farm stand. we'll have a feast of perishables tonight since we head to new jersey tomorrow and we won't have a kitchen.



we had a lovely day today. we started the day with a walk to the coffee shop with margie.
in between expense reports and e-mails to prospective hires, we sat on the floor and played, went for a walk, held missy's fingers while she pretended to walk. we laughed at her when she decided she was already ready to let go...she is fearless.

she came to the beach with no teeth and she will leave with at least one. she has been so good natured, her teething was so low key that her tooth was a big surprise.

i haven't been this relaxed since my week in florida last year with cat and max.

i am starting to get the end-of-vacation-blues...but then i remind myself that i have three full days before the day i have to get back on a plane...and i remind myself to just enjoy the moment.

and so i am.
