ON THE BEACH


Our day will be like this only at home.  Quiet, I hope.  The car carrier passing us by, someone else setting up the chair cushions.  I’ll grab a moment or two at the sewing machine to draft golden leaves.  It’s only when I get to the middle of the quilt that you will hear cuss words as I struggle with the masses of fabric through the tiny center of the machine. 

Yesterday we ran one errand.  More chocolate covered espresso beans were needed.  None to be had at Ross, Target, or Ralphs.  Yes, I took a book and sat in the car.  Yes Trader Joe’s had nice fat ones, so we are set for the moment.  

Sometimes all I can do is laugh at us.

  1. A special trip for chocolate covered espresso beans sounds perfectly reasonable.

  2. You keep mentioning chocolate covered espresso beans. I may have to check them out though it really sounds like a jolt of caffeine.
