The beach

Hey Folks!!

         How was your weekend? I had a pretty mellow weekend. This seems to be the theme of my weekends in January. Although I did....

 Get a great visit in with my grandma (she's doing a lot better:),
 lock my keys in the car at the Seniors home (begged my cousin to drive me home)
 had lunch with a bunch of my aunts and cousin (bought said cousin lunch for driving me home)
 Bake muffins
 Walk on  the beach
 Went out for Indian Food with my in-laws and SIL
 Let Jillian kick my but again
 Juice a lot
 Discover a love for Americano's with a splash of soy milk
 Begrudgingly worked on O-chem which I still don't understand..grr
Watch Notorious even though I'm not a rap fan. Westside, Yo!!

Now that I listed my weekend I did more than I thought. I love lists:)

And now for the pictures to prove it...no, there are no more post-Jillian pictures. You're welcome:)




This was fantastic! I don't normally add apple to my juices. I stick mainly with veggie-only but this was a nice, refreshing change.


This was the above juice without the apple but with ginger and cucumber added in! I made it last night and took it to work this morning. It was so awesome to have juice at work!
I think I will be making this a Sunday night habit.

Now for the beach...

Oh why not start the walk with a piece of heaven.
 This Dark Almond Brittle from Roger's Chocolates was awesome!


Welcome to White Rock!!



There is actually a large (painted) white rock..cheesy, yes! Cool? You bet!



It was beautiful out. Lots of sun but it was still really chilly on the pier!

Mt. Baker just barely visible but still stunning:)


I love the look of this old girl!



Have a great day everyone!!! I'm off to think about what to make for din din.

For the rest of the week I'm making a list of recipes and shopping accordingly. Does this work for you?

XOXOXO

So glad to hear your grandma is doing better :) That must be a really hard situation for you to deal with, but I'm happy that there is improvement.
And that you are keeping busy and doing lots of fun activities. I'm so jealous of your juice! I want a juicer :) It looks so good.
Your pics are beautiful as always, and so are you! xox

I'm glad your grandma is doing better.

I love apple in my juices by the way, but I do mainly stick with only veggie as well. I love the white rock so funny.
